This type of feeder is a death trap to small birds!
We put a similar feeder [with squirrel-proof caging] up in our yard, hoping to deter the squirrels, and it did.
Sadly, we lost 3 sparrows in the process. So many little birds clammered into the feeder, that when something spooked them, and they all tried to get out at once, 3 of them broke there necks in the mad rush. That is NOT acceptable!
We immediately took it down and trashed it.
I’d rather put up with the squirrels than lose even ONE bird!
This type of feeder should be OUTLAWED!

The birds really like this feeder. They appear to have more security while eating in a caged feeder. Purchased this item to prevent black birds eating at the bird station. Fully recommend it.

I love this feeder. Very well made, excellent quality, just as advertised. Keeps the large birds away and the small ones go right to the perches and love it.

Works as advertised. Squirrels cannot get into it or reach inside it and get seeds. Leave squirrels frustrated! I would recommend this to a friend.

Finally a squirrel proof feeder that actually is. Well worth the money considering how much I save in wasted seed. Wish it held more, but you cannot have everything.
