The squirrels not only beat this one by using their paws to reach the seeds, one of them chewed up the side, leaving shreds of plastic on the ground below.

The squirrels in my yard must be really smart, because they enjoy feasting in this. It is also difficult to fill, empty shells, and clean. Get an “Eliminator” from Wild Birds Unlimited instead.

i bought this to put on my existing pole. I like the whole concept idea of this bird feeder but they need to do some major improvements on installing it on a pole. First of all, it is for a 1″ pole adapter but the hole on the bottom is not a screw type of installment. Just a plain smooth round 1″ hole that you slip on top of a pole. Therefore, it is not a tight fit and the bird feeder bottom tray is wobbling side to side with any weight applied to it. I returned it as I felt this was not suitable for pole installation but if you want to hang it with the loop, then you may want to give it a try.

I have owned this feeder for about six months. It hangs great and the squirrels seem to leave it alone. My only problem are the posts which keep the top up, broke fairly soon after hanging the feeder and we had to super glue it back together.
