    So far so good

    This product has so far resisted the heavy punishment inflicted by our squirrel population. Two other brands have been less resistant to the cunning swines. 😉

  • Most critical review

    well made, but my birds not using it much

    The birds don't seem very interested in this type. They do use it but sit on the outer frame and peck into the foods. The magpie still has a go at it and can get at the food. Have not seen the squirrels so can't comment on that. My previous feeder was a larger ball shape that the birds got inside, that seemed to work better, or maybe the birds are just not feeding at this time of year.

  • Not as good as it looks.

    Looks great at first but on use I have found that the plastic perches are coming away from the main unit on the seed feeder. Lid does not fit very well on all three types of feeder, and on one the rain gets in and the contents gets quite water logged.

  • Does the job

    For the price it is well made. The clip to hold the lid closed is a good feature.. We got it to keep the magpies from ripping the fat balls to pieces in 5 Min. Works so far.

  • Metal is Best

    Have already got a metal fat ball feeder, so purchased another for my hungry birds. The squirrels still hang on them and try to detach them from the tree - to new avail. This metal feeder does the job perfectly as plastic ones do not stay the course. However, I note that my squirrel population have found a way to get to the fatballs by putting their paws through the gaps and claw out what they want and picking it up from the ground. Noted this action when the baby's were born. A very canny way to feed their young. No wonder I get through so many fatballs !

  • Great, but not totally 5 star brilliant

    With all three updates to this supplied. I should have been able to add a "maybe" to it perhaps as well .. ?... So why four stars only... ? One cage, of the two supplied, came with the hanging anchorage parts off centre, so it hung/hanged stupid.. not vertical at all Was fixable, but still a quality issue in the factory for you suppliers perhaps .. ?? However, birds in my trees are loving the fat ball contents of these cages, both fixed and unfixed for sure. Wish I could of given you 4.9 stars instead Best regards

  • Great value for money

    Not particularly sturdy but has an excellent locking catch for the lid & does represent really good value for money. The success of these feeders is obviously dependent on what is in them but they are extremely popular, secure for our little bird population & very good at keeping the unwanted pests away ie Squirrels & pigeons! Really pleased with this purchase.

  • OK for the price, not ideal against young squirrels

    Any product aiming to be squirrel proof needs to be made carefully to ensure it is just that. This one isn't. Bar spacing needs to be no more than 28mm. This item has very variable spacing, from around 30mm up to over 40mm in places!! It certainly will not keep out young squirrels who are both small and voracious. This doesn't bother me as I add extra wiring anyway and all I wanted was a basic frame to work with, but if you wanted a "squirrel-proof" feeder to work straight out of the box this may well disappoint. Furthermore, it was not well packed and arrived dented in a couple of places so that needed straightening out too. However, the price is very low and you get what you pay for. For my purposes it was fine.

  • Birds love being fed

    Very pleased with the units - however - the lid hinge is a little flimsy and could do with being of a higher and thicker grade section. Enclosing an "S" hook would be an helpful addition to hang feeders in trees.

  • Look good

    All three feeders are good for the price and are sturdy. One of them was a bit bent on the inside chamber for the nuts but it doesn't make any difference to it's purpose. The catches at the top of the products are a bit bent but they work so again no issues. The little birds love them and the squirrels can try but no luck!!
