Absolutely brilliant bird feeder my feather friends love it and will perch on it even when not feeding, so many different birds visiting my garden, will have to invest in a bird book, would not hesitate to purchase from seller agai
The sparrows love it, and empty it within minutes. Somehow, the starlings managed to sneak in too, but they can only get inside one bird at a time. Good theatre watching the garden birds enjoying themselves.
This is a great feeder for the small birds, the bigger birds have no chance of feeding from it, which was my intention, the dish is small and needs filled constantly, I have a lot of visitors to the feeder though, but it is ideal to feed the smaller birds without worrying about it being targeted by the big guys.
The sparrows and starlings love this feeder. It gives the seeds protection from the rain so they don’t go moldy, plus the magpies and crows are too big to steal the food
Looks “pretty ” it seems rathe fragile , however it has not broken so far. It takes a while for the correct height of the frame to be established for the smaller birds.
Edit – I sealed up the drainage holes with some silicone, haven’t bothered to drill smaller holes for drainage as the domed cover does a good job of stopping rain getting into the feeding tray.
It has also fallen off a couple of times when we have had really bad wind, and it hasn’t scratched or cracked the plastic, so really impressed with that (it fell over 1m onto hard floor). It is also really easy to clean as you can unscrew the tray off the pole to give this a good wash.
Would highly recommend this if you are wanting to feed smaller birds and especially robins as they do not tend to feed from the standard hanging feeders.
The feeder is surprisingly sturdy and the domed roof is keeping the food reasonably dry even in wet and windy weather. I am very pleased with my purchase.
It can be adjusted to be used for smaller birds or made larger for bigger birds. Transparent so the birds can easily be viewed. The birds have loved it, they keep coming back and forth.
I was worried that they may not use it with it being changed, but they do. It even come with a warranty in the box. Easy to clean. Really wished I would have bought this first.
An expensive but very well made feeder, so worth investing in.
The metal parts are all non-rusting, and the plastic parts are thick and strongly made, so the feeder should last for years.
The bowl unscrews very smoothly reflecting the quality of construction and it is therefore very easy to remove it for washing.
The roof can be lowered or raised using a very clever cord grip mechanism, so the gap between the roof and the bowl can be adjusted so that bigger birds can be excluded. The tits robins, and sparrows are therefore delighted that they have their own feeder!
The only problem I had is that the hook is very open, so that when I hung it on the wire in my garden I had to use a small piece of wire to close off the opening in the hook so that the feeder doesn’t fall off the wire when it is windy.
This is the second type of feeder I have recently bought from “Jacobi Jayne I Love Robins”, and they are both of an excellent design and quality.
This is attractive and popular with the birds. The dome does a good job of keeping the food dry, and there are drainage holes in the saucer. I think it would spill food if it was hanging and being blown by the wind. I have wired it to a gate to stop movement. It’s easy to assemble, and to wash.
We actually bought this hoping that we could just feed the robins and blue tits, and NOT the sparrows which bully these birds off the other small-bird feeders we have -especially when live mealworms are on offer. At this it failed, but maybe we were asking too much of it.. The sparrows could get into any gap which the robins could. The blue tits were much more agile than sparrows and could get into a tiny gap. The sparrows watched them for a few hours, then copied the blue tits, flying up to the feeder and hanging off the edge, before squeezing themselves up into it. TBH we don’t use it much any more, as we have far easier to fill window feeders which the bigger birds also can’t use.
It’s small but perfect for keeping away big birds (they’re welcome but get their food separate). I’ve hung it on my Washing line that I don’t use, so no way squirrels can get to seeds. I put seeds and little pieces of bread every morning and at midday because I can’t believe how many little birds have appeared. Some species I’ve never seen in our garden before. They would empty it over and over again if I I kept filling it! Very happy with my purchase. Only once did seeds get wet the other day when it was very windy and wet. It looks cute and keeps me entertained while I wash dishes or just spend time looking at the beautiful variety of birds we are blessed with
Took 2 weeks for the birds to find this. We have a lot of magpies in our area and I have seen 2 attempt to land on the little tray but the dome got in the way and they had to fly off. Now all I see are the little birds and finally a little Robin comes most days. I put out a mix of seeds, mealy worms and sunflower hearts. It swings a lot as they land and take off as it’s quite light but the seeds stay put mostly. I have it slightly under a canopy so the squirrels can’t get at it. Lovely to watch the birds while I wash up in the kitchen! Well pleased
I should like to add that I did in fact buy a second feeder, for mealworm sand crumbled fat balls, Just as popular among my habitus.
I thought this was a little bigger than it is and I even converted the size to inches so I could visualise it. I think it will do though so now having put a small assortment of treats on it I am waiting for the birds to start finding it. This feeder should be OK for blackbirds to use as they can actually land on it unlike the other hanging feeders O have which suit sparrows tit and starlings but which blackbirds cannot cling to.
The design is definitely function over form though. I was initially concerned its reflective surface would lead to birds being scared away from the garden or at least the feeder itself, but I’m happy to have been proven wrong. I’ve hung one from the washing line, and placed another from the small tree / bush / thing growing at the bottom of the garden, and both seem like popular spots – looks a lot better covered under a bush though, the shade almost renders it invisible, so that’s most likely its intended placement.
Very good little feeder, I’m glad to have bought it, for sure.
This is a reasonable size that you can adjust the height with (not much, but enough to get different size small birds).
I expected the Starlings to use this the most , which I do not minds, as they are one my of favourites, however, I was surprised to see that the Sparrows, Blue and Yellow Tits uses this too!!! (Species I get where I live…)
What I love about this feeder is that, compared to my old worming feeder, more than one can sit on it and eat at the same time, instead of fighting for the one spot!!!
I have found when filling to the Max of food, there’s hardly no spillage (for me, personally), which is great.
And, lastly, the food you put in it gets protected by the all kinds of weather!!!!
I’ve actually enjoyed this purchases – it’s added a bit of glamour to my garden, as I find it that neat and nice.
Happy for everybody, all year round.
