 busts squirrels, but not grackles May 16, 2008

We thought for sure this thing we be the end all be all to our grackle problem. Not so. Even with it set maxed out for only the smallest birds, we watch grackles bounce/jump up and down on that thing, timing it just right, to get food out. Maybe they breed them smarter in the north central US, but it is irritating. Wish we had the good fortune others do.
There are no issues with squirrels, however, and for that we are thankful.
 Bad Buy! July 17, 2008

Bad buy.This feeder does not work if set to given instructions. It does not keep out Grackle, black birds, or crows with given instructions.. There is no proper setting. I followed the instructions given by the customer service rep when I called them. The instructions did not work. So I tried something on my own. I raised the adjustment setting half way above the first yellow line and taped three nails to the bottom of the perch. It works some what, it keeps out most of the big birds away? I see black bird, crows and grackle at the feeder every day, the food goes pretty fast. The Grackles are to clever, they get food from the feeder. I bought this feeder to attract cardinals and to keep out The big birds t out. I feel there is no ideal bird feeder.

This is a fine product. It is well engineered as well as manufactured. Holds a lot of seed. I fill it once a day. Squirels have given up trying to get into it. Easy to take apart and goes in the dishwasher. Highly recommended
Great Birdfeeder! January 10, 2007

We love this birdfeeder! We have lots of squirrels and this is the first feeder they have not been able to plunder. We attract lots of cardinals, woodpeckers, finches, etc. Durable and easy to set up. It has only one seed compartment so we will be buying another to give our 'feathered friends' a more varied diet!
Excellent Feeder May 21, 2007
Eric Pi (New Jersey, USA)
We've had this feeder for about a month now, and have very happy with it. We have two (different) feeders near each other, and the birds seem to prefer eating from this one. We installed the optional "cardinal ring", and do see a fair number of cardinals eating from it.
The feeder is very well made. It disassembles for easy cleaning. It has a nice, large capacity, and is easy to fill. The spring-loaded anti-squirrel mechanism works perfectly: The many nearby squirrels have completely given up trying to eat from it, but the birds (even larger ones) have no problems eating from it.
Overall, a very good feeder. The only drawback is that it is rather pricey. Even still, I am considering buying a second one, so I do consider it to be worth the money.
