The best bird feeder!
This feeder is great, with a twist top and bottom it is so easy to fill and even easier to clean, good sturdy metal. All feeders should be as easy to clean as this one, just wish some larger ones were readily available, I use mine for sunflower seeds but could do with a large seed feeder. I find these last about two years, the perspex is the weak point as it either splits or comes apart from the metal rings it is attached. However for the price two years of constant use is good and I always try to repurchase this design.Read full review...

Design could be better
The actual quality of the materials used to make this bird feeder is good and strong, but the design is not that great.
First thing I noticed was the thin metal perches. One was missing from the first feeder I ordered, so the seller had to replace it. The perches tend to spring up and don't stay down, making some of the seed ports inaccessible to the birds.
Secondly, it's quite a large feeder so holds a lot of seed. This is generally a good thing because you need to refill it less often. But with this feeder, because of the way the lid fixes on, it's incredibly easy to drop it and all the seed is spilled everywhere. Very annoying as my greedy dogs immediately eat it. The lid with the hanging loop fixes under 3 small lugs on the top of the seed hopper. You have to place the lid perfectly accurately, then turn it until the lugs are clipped in. It's awkward to do and really annoying / wasteful when you get it wrong.
The birds do quite like this feeder, but I wouldn't buy it again. I've had to move it off the feeder pole and hang it in the hawthorn hedge instead because the crows kept knocking it down when it was out in the open.Read full review...

Holds a nice amount!
Already have the smaller size and am glad to have found this more convenient 'large' sized Gardman feeder! Much better than the smaller version and holds more bird food which is good as the garden birds are busy feeders all day long. Saves doing daily top ups. Read full review...

Not squirrel proof
Feeder arrived and it was the model the squirrels had just destroyed!
Found the triple locks on the top and bottom far too easy to unlock!
Tightened the top lock by putting a slight twist on the splines
Put the new unit on the triple feeder stand,
On the first day the squirrels leaned across and undid the base!
Seed all over the lawn !

Best around in my opinion.
Ordered this to replace an identical one that finally gave up the ghost after around ten years of service.
The old one had been out in the sun, wind, rain and snow and took all Mother Nature could throw at it whilst performing well. I think it finally succumbed to UV sunlight. The plastic becoming brittle but the metal plastic parts still okay, albeit a bit rusty!
These heavy duty Gardman feeders are the best I have come across and would definitely recommend them for durability and ease of filling.Read full review...

Well built feeder.
Would recommend this feeder if you are visited by lots of birds. Multiple feeding ports and a generous capacity will make this a popular addition to any garden as long as it is positioned well out of reach of any prey animals. Highly recommended.Read full review...

Easy to Fill and Clean
The front garden birds love this item when filled with the smaller seeds (they don't like the large black seeds) but the back garden birds don't seem to want to know. Maybe this is as we haven't seen many birds in the rear garden lately.Read full review...

looks good and does the job
The bird feeder is ok but the top could be a bit more secure as it is very easy to slip out of the fastening under the top but it is easy to fill.

Great quality feeder.
This is a high quality feeder. I like it especially as it has perching bars, so the robins don't have to hover to get some seed. Multi bird friendly. Recommend.
