Nice Feeder But.....

I previously left a review for this plastic tube feeder a few days ago giving it a good review as the birds were eating from it and appeared to like it. Since then we have had several days of rain. I have two nyjer seed feeders One is a metal mesh feeder the other is the plastic tube feeder I am reviewing. The mesh feeder is the best. I have found that with the plastic tube feeder water and dampness are contained inside the tube and as there is no air flow it causes the seed to rot on the bottom. I would return the item and exchange for another but due to it now being used I am stuck with it. I just took it apart and had to dig out the rotted seed at the bottom. I will not purchase this type of nyjer seed feeder again.

Perfect feeder, my birds love it!

Bears took my last feeder and the cheaper ones at the big box stores just were not cutting it. Glad I picked this up, well made and sturdy, and the birds seem to like the wrapped footholds as much as the regular perches. Win win for me. Would purchase again. (And might have to if the bear comes back)

Great feeder, birds love it!

The finches love this feeder and they really do love the spiral!

Finches?

The feeder is beautiful and well constructed but while we are inundated with finches and some chickadees, they continue to feed with the sparrows and cardinals at our squirrel proof seed feeder which has no thistle. In must be that no thistle seed exists in or around the Houston area and they are simply not used to it. We also put out some thistle in a tray feeder and nobody (but doves) eats it. We are hopeful that winter changes things.

I shared your review with a bird expert more familiar with Texas. Sounds like thistle seed is a common part of finch diets in your area, but there has been a trend for bird seed producers to 'overcook' the nyjer seed during the process to sterilize it/keep it from germinating. When really dried out, the birds may refuse to eat it. Same goes if it sits and gets moldy. Finches also really love chopped sunflower kernels, so you might try those or find a nyjer/sunflower chips seed mix to use in your spiral feeder and see more action. Hope this helps!

Love it!

The goldfinches and titmice love this feeder, and look so pretty sitting on the copper spiral. It makes me happy to watch them!
