Question 1

Is it easy to open to put seeds in?

Accepted Answer

I have been feeding wild garden birds over many years and have purchased many bird feeders during that time. This is the only squirrel-proof feeder I have experience to which I would award 100 out of 100 for all aspects of a bird feeder. It is the ideal feeder for sunflower hearts, not peanuts. Not only is it easy to refill with sunflower hearts but can be easily and totally dismantled for cleaning without the use of any tools. When topping up twist and remove the top lid, then twist and remove the second lid while holding the feeder over the tin containing the replacement hearts, which should have a diameter as big or bigger than the diameter of the feeder base - a biscuit tin is ideal. Once the second lid has been removed the perspex seed tube can be easily removed, allowing the seed below the feeder outlets to fall into the seed tin, thus preventing an accumulation of seed which cannot be reached by the birds. The plastic feeder outlets can be removed by twisting and the whole assembly can be cleaned if necessary. The finish of the feeder is also excellent preventing rust. Without a shadow of doubt the best bird feeder on the market.

Question 2

Are the perches on the actual feeder tube made of plastic or metal please??

Accepted Answer

Difficult to say but they are solid and we have not had any problems. They could be plastic coated metal

Question 3

Hi, what's the dimension of the mesh grid please? Thank you

Accepted Answer

The outside bars measure 3.5cm x 5.0 cm. just big enough for Tits and Finches. The inside tube is far enough away from the outside bars to stop the Starlings reaching the seed.

Question 4

Can this be fitted to a pole?

Accepted Answer

No.There is no screw thread or fixing underneath.You will need to hang it from something that hopefully squirrels cannot climb or jump to.
