Amazon.com Review
With 12 feeding stations and a special design that keeps squirrels out, this elegant bird feeder is exclusively "for the birds." Made of heavy-duty acrylic and copper, this tube-shaped feeder has a built-in seed funnel and a removable tray-so there's no more spilling the seed all over the lawn. An integrated dome guard foils squirrels and protects seed from weather. The feeder also features acrylic seed tubes with copper- armored ports impervious to vandal squirrels. Measuring 23-1/2 by 12-1/2 by 12-1/2 inches, the feeder holds up to 10 pounds of seed. Covered by a manufacturer lifetime warranty, the feeder arrives ready to hang. --Brian Olson

 7 Years and Billions Feed! April 9, 2005

I bought this particular Opus feeder on Amazon, Seven Years ago. It is amazing that the feeder not only looks great but also still is operating like new. Opus Company is the most cooperative manufacturer and they stand behind all their products.
I called them when an aggressive squirrel ate through the squirrel guard in about six months, only because I had it put it up with too large of rope. Though it was my fault, they replaced the top and sent it out to my house immediately 100% free!
Over the years, I have had questions about birds and feeders and they are quick to answer them. They know the animals that eat out of their products! Opus makes more than Bird Feeders, they make many different garden products and Amazon is their top seller of those goods. That is who they always suggest you shop through Amazon because as they will tell you "Amazon.com has the absolute lowest price on all" these quality products.
I now own seven Opus Feeder and other Opus Garden Products; all are in new shape with heavy use in the adverse weather of Kansas! Yes Dorothy Kansas!
Let us not forget to shop for these at Amazon.com, but go to http://www.opususa.com and look over the entire line of their products and get the best advice on outside birding and other great information.
 Copper-colored plastic March 27, 2005

I was expecting this to be a copper bird feeder - I was hoping to match my copper bird bath. Note that this is copper-colored plastic - *not* copper. If you don't mind the plastic, it seems like a nice bird feeder, but I chose to send it back.
 Needs improvement October 9, 2005

These are fine if you're in an area with small birds, no squirrels, and.......no rain. The main problem is the bottom is held in place onto each of the 3 tubes ONLY by two tiny fragile "clips" on only about 2mm in size! As long as there is no weight on the bottom, you're fine. With large birds and huge doves, that gets to be a LOT of weight, many pounds on the bottom of the feeder which it cannot take over time. Yes, squirrels STILL do get on it which make it even worse (they are VERY smart, and even with sunflower seeds put out all over the place, they still INSIST on trying to get a few seeds out of the feeders!) :-)
The other issue which adds to this problem is rain. As soon as bird seed gets wet, it sprouts in a matter of hours and unless you clean the feeder out after EVERY rain, or humid night, the seed will indeed grow and grow on the bottom eventually forcing, "shoving" the bottom FROM the 3 tubes--again due to the undersized poorly designed clips.
This problem could SO EASILY be fixed by simply using either a larger retention/clipping mechanism on the bottom, or "studs" of some kind to which the tubes can connect THROUGH the bottom portion. But, for some reason the manufacturer refuses to do this.
Small birds, no squirrels or AWAY from squirrels, and little rain and low humidity; the feeders are fine.
More cons than pros for me July 12, 2006

I have decided to return this feeder. The cons are more pronounced than the pros, for me.
Pros:
*Seems durable enough.
*Tubes hold two times the quantity of typical feeders.
Cons:
*The feeder atracted undesirable larger birds such as crows and grackles (at first this was not the case but they made themselves known yesterday)
*The mourning doves, while not necessarily undesirable, were taking a powder by sitting leisurely in the tray!
*There is no barrier between the tray and the tubes, so when I went to clean the tray, all of the seed still in the tubes came with it! That was quite the sweeping session. Think about this: if you need to clean the feeder, which you should do as needed in order to prevent mold which could kill the birds, you have to wait for all tubes to be near empty. Otherwise, you experience what I did, a deluge of bird seed. And if you're using different seed in each tube, you have to then separate the seeds and re-pour them into their respective tubes once you have finished cleaning the feeder.
*The baffle, which doubles as a general cover for the feeder and is necessary for its use, allowed the birds to sit atop, and collected bird "waste."
*It is too large and cumbersome to handle, especially if you use it as a hanging feeder.
 Holds a lot of seed October 1, 2001

The birds and I are quite pleased with this feeder because it holds more than a week's worth of seed and has several perches to accommodate multiple eaters. Note that the top and bottom are plastic, not copper, but it is an attractive product. Mine is hanging on the front porch so the seeds stay dry, the squirrels can't jump onto it, and I can watch the birds from my kitchen window. The only assembly required is tapping the perches into place and screwing on the top.
