This feeder has a number of design issues that make it difficult to use.And, over time, the birds have stopped using this feeder.In the beginning, the birds really liked this feeder,and they were all over it. Perching birds, clinging birds all seem satisfied. But something has happened over time, and it appears that the seed-delivery is no longer working well.I don't know whether it's because the seed is exposed to the rain and the quality deteriorates, or if the weight of the seed has caused the links to close up making the seed difficult to extract, but the birds have stopped using this feeder.
In addition, filling the feeder is a real challenge.
1. It does not stand on its own. If you put it on the floor to fill, it collapses, since the chain links are loose and there's no structure to hold the feeder in full open position. This is especially problematic if there's some seed remaining in the feeder. To fill it, you have to hold the handle in one hand while holding the cover open with the same hand (a bit tricky) and then fill with the other. You can't put the feeder down on the floor or it collapses sprinkling seed all over the place. To combat this, I rigged up an S-hook and hung the feeder from it.That way, I could hold the cover open with one hand, and fill with the other.
2. When you're filling it, the seeds pour out of the chain links. Much seed is wasted on the floor. You have to fill it with the feeder sitting in the seed bag so the seeds fall back into the bag.
In all, I would not recommend this chain-link style feeder.
