I just started using this last week.It took a day or two for the birds to adapt to the design, but since they have, they seem to love it.My primary reason for purchasing it was to easehouse finch-swarming, which is inevitable if they are plentiful in your area.With 10 ports to use, both inside and out, and along all lengths of the tubes, I thought this might be a good solution.And it is.
Pros:
*There is definitely less fighting among the birds with this feeder. While pecking order still exists, and while the finches will always be possessive of feeders, there are enough ports to
feed them, the cardinals, sparrows, chickadees and titmice.
*10 ports....feeds a lot of birds at once.
*Select A Seed allows you to flip the ladder perches up or down for nijer feeding.
*Offer two types of seed at once. The cardinals, chickadees and titmice love safflower, and I fill the other side with sunflower hearts, which everyone loves.
*Each fill lasts 2+ days.Easy to fill.
*Almost rain-resistant.Other vertical tube feeders allow rain in though ports, thus spoling seed and creating much waste.
*Great design.I placed mine on a swivel hook and it's fun to see it spin. The birds don't seem to mind the ride.
Cons:
*Juvenile birds have a hard time figuring out that there are ports inside and out.Also, they seem fearful of flying right onto it, and they have become dependent upon the air conditioner in the next window as a jump-from point.They sit on the ac and then jump onto the ladder perch on the unit.
*Doesn't seem to attract the jays too much.Design may be too difficult for them to manage.It is definitely a feeder which prefers smaller birds. I have seen the larger birds try to use it with some difficulty.
*The base of the unit provides small indentations where birds can sit and eat, rather than sit on a perch.But I don't see them using it, and I think it is because the plastic is too smooth and there is nothing for them to grab onto.So there is still plenty of seed in the bottom but it's difficult for them to get to it.
