Classic Bird Seed Feeder, Hanging Bird Feeder with Two Perch Ports, Easy to Clean, Suitable for Seeds and Seed Mixes, Durable and UV-Stabilised (300g) - RSPB

Hi. This is the size of feeder I prefer. Easy to fill and clean and holds a decent amount of seed. The birds took to it immediately. I don’t think it’s designed to be but the feeding ports, although the same size as previous feeders, seem a little lower on this one making it more difficult for starlings to scoff the lot.Only criticism is the plastic tube which although similar to other feeders I’ve had is a little flimsy. This isn’t a big issue as we don’t have squirrels, but It dropped a star for this. Overall very pleased and two more on their way.

The media could not be loaded.  Really good feeder. I’d also recommend the RSPB favourites blend bird food - it has attracted quite the array to my garden compared to some previous feed I’d purchased.I’ve had a previous version of the feeder, which lasted around 5 years. But it did take some abuse, getting blown off its hook quite regularly in strong winds.

I got this for nyger seeds as the header says suitable for these seeds, however its not really the correct feeder for this kind of birdfood, more suitable for sunflower hearts or mixed feed.

Bit flimsy so don’t know how long it will last

I like this feeder, especially that it keeps the seed dry in heavy downpours, but after having it in the garden for only a few weeks, one of the perches has snapped off. Must have been a heavier bird trying to get in on the action during the recent cold spell.

prevents access by rodents and protects seeds from the weather

So far, so good. The previous seed feeder I had - I think I bought it in-store, in a supermarket - did last quite a long time, but eventually the flip-top broke at the 'hinge', and subsequently kept blowing off in the wind. This one is sturdier (and slightly larger) altogether, and the design of the top is such that it's easy to fill, but fastens securely and won't easily break.I trust RSPB products, having opted for one of their feeder tables and been impressed by how well designed it is. The dull green colour of this feeder is ideal for attracting birds. As others have mentioned, birds don't like/are alarmed by bright colours, especially red, and except possibly for magpies, tend to avoid shiny metal. It always takes them a while to accept new things, especially if very different from what they are used to; novel mean 'potentially dangerous' to birds, who will cautiously wait and see whether anything bad happens to the more adventurous among them, before trying a thing themselves. This feeder is fairly similar to their old one, which I replaced yesterday. Today I have seen tits and sparrows using the new one, so that's a thumbs up.Some reviewers have complained that with various feeders, seeds fall out onto the ground. I don't see how this can be avoided, unless the openings are so tight or so designed that they actually block up, which surely would make the feeder pointless. As it is, 'my' small birds scatter seed when using the feeder, and pigeons, starlings and blackbirds, as well as small birds including dunncks and robins, eat up what falls on the ground. I don't much mind that; I suppose I do sometimes resent the mount of money I spend feeding feral domestic pigeons who've gone over to 'the dark side', haha, but hey they all have their little lives to live and I don't think it's right for humans who feed birds, to be 'species-ist' about who they like, or don't want, in their gardens or yards.Anyway, to get to the point: there are cheaper feeders about, but this is a good one, worth the price imo, and I recommend it.

Birds can eat and have to fill up with seeds not frozen. Recomend
