The large cylinder works great for us and it lasts a little over 2 weeks. The cardinals love it and we find that we have more cardinals since switching over to the safflower seed. We still get an occasional grackle but not as often.
Love your products!!!
The ease and less stress to find my flying babies.
Hreat sales and fast service; great attention to details.
My feathered and furry friends love the bells and cylinders…
So glad to be able to feed these cylinders to all the birds without the squirrels stealing them.
No 4-leggedy little critters can get to my birds food now. This is the 2nd one I've ordered. Once this one is up on a pole.l, I'm going to run a cable in between the posts they're on to hang more feeders safe from the critters. It works like it's supposed to.
I can't keep the squirrels away from it. Birds enjoy it too when they can get sime!
We're so glad the squirrels and birds are enjoying the seed cylinders! If your squirrels are eating a little too much you may want to try once of our hot pepper varieties of cylinder: https://nature-niche.com/pages/rapid-search-results?q=hot+pepper+cylinder
I’ve had this Oriole feeder for over 10 years and I was looking for one just like it for my Sister. Finally I found it at Nature Niche! It’s very easy to clean and made well to last a long time. My Orioles love it!
The only thing that keeps the ants out of my hummingbird feeders. I have tried butter, grease, oil, cinnamon and nothing worked besides this product.I have been using it for years.
I’ve been buying these seed cylinders from various places and these are high quality & last a long time IF you can keep squirrels & red winged blackbirds away! We live in SE Michigan & they came in a couple days.
The size of the feeder is perfect for placing under a Spruce tree. It's quite sturdy and will blend in well with the foliage. I'm hopeful the crows will notice and start visiting.
Feeder is well made, but I was really hoping to thwart ALL squirrels. We mostly have the smaller white bellied 'cat' squirrels and this feeder has not (so far) been one they can get to. However, a lone hungry big orange bellied 'fox' squirrel showed up and almost emptied the feeder. Held on with claws under the feeder (with its back toward the ground) and almost completely emptied the feeder of suet! Only left when I walked up to it.
Thank you for taking the time to review. We appreciate your feedback! While this feeder might tend to slow the squirrels down, to make it truly squirrel proof you will need to baffle the feeder or the pole system you have it on: https://nature-niche.com/collections/squirrel-baffles-guards
If you need a suet feeder that is truly squirrel resistant we recommend the Squirrel Buster Suet feeder available here: https://nature-niche.com/products/squirrel-buster-suet-feeder
This is a great bird bath. It is very hard to find a deck rail bird bath that actually hangs out beyond the deck. This one does, which means that you do not get bird poop on the deck itself!! I already have this bird bath with a clamp attachment which is fine, but this bird bath will get more visitors (squirrels and and occasional raccoons) so I thought it may need a more secure attachment. And the birds love it as well.
Birds in my yard love these. Been using the auto ship for quite a while now. Had one shipment where the cylinders got busted up and came out in pieces, it seems to have been a one time thing. Overall, I’ve been very pleased.
I love the concept , but maybe I put it out too late in the season because i've seen no activity with a few hummingbirds that I have.
The birds this summer love this one so much, we will only put it out occasionally! They went through the whole thing in less than 20 hours!! ... Love your fresh, fresh seed cakes/tubes.
Happy with the purchase. Easy clean quick release bottom is great to move the old seed to top when filling . Shipped quickly and packaged well when arrived .
