Unable to give up my battle against a bunch of ugly, mean-spirited rodents, I swallowed my pride and placed one last order on Amazon for the Squirrel Solutions Seed Saver 200 Wild Bird Feeder. Once he realized that the weight of his misdeeds was the very reason he could no longer eat, he got a crabby look on his face and disgustedly jumped off."
"Four squirrels that we constantly had to 'shoo' away from all bird feeders we've had, have FINALLY moved on because THIS bird feeder is perfect to keep them away."
"We needed to replace a well-made similar design (brown metal) feeder which was 10 years old - the squirrels finally chewed through the plastic."
"I also have the bigger Brome, but the birds chose this feeder every single time."
"He tried again the next day and was finally convinced, so he just dropped to the grown and joined his buddies eating the spillover ."
"They'd take a flying leap and manage to grab hold of it, only to be frustrated at their inability to get the seeds."
"Bought this for my dad for father's day- not only does it work for squirrels but also for the raccoons they've had problems with, too!"
"The birds love them, the squirrels hate them, and I, now replace seed once every two weeks instead of every couple days when I had used The squirrel solution seed saver 200."
The No/No Red Cardinal Wild Bird Feeder adds style and function to any outdoor area. Up to 2.5 lb black oil sunflower seed capacity.

Find Best Price at Amazon"!Just purchased my 2nd one of these.Its a present for my mother in law for mothers day,we've gotten her into feeding and enjoying birds.Ive posted a couple of pictures of my set up.Ive owned mine for close to 15years I think.Give it a coat of Rustoleum every couple of years and this thing works as good as the day I bought it.Squirrels can hang and do get their share if you let them.Sometimes if you don't let them.Notice the dents on my cylinder.NEVER will a squirrel get INTO this feeder.It also states NOWHERE on the package or on Amazon that this thing is SQUIRREL PROOF!!!"
"The 'blurbs' next to the feeder picture read: "Holds over 2.5 pounds of Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, the most popular seed for wild birds. Feeds 15-20 birds at once; huge feeding area means fewer refills". (No, a huge capacity means fewer refills - this one only holds 2 1/2 pounds of seed. with the expectation to feed 15-20 birds at once but with only 2 1/2 pounds of seed, means you may be filling this once a day.). If you get a lot of birds already, then my first choice would be No/No Forest Green Hourglass Bird Feeder GHG00318 which costs a few dollars less than this one, holds almost 4 pounds more seed than this one, and has a wider opening at the top making it easier to fill than this one."
"It resists squirrels in the sense that they cannot chew through it or open the top and get all the food out. I have seen them trying and failing to do both repeatedly and it has resisted their efforts successfully because it is pretty sturdy. So while I like the design, I think it is attractive in the yard, and works well, I cannot recommend it for anywhere where squirrels are an issue."
"Great looking I ordered 2..yes the reviews are right..its hard for the birds to get food from the screen..I put a LARGE SOLO CUP in the middle upside down..and still food does not fall..BUT Because I have to fill feeders everyday the ledge of it.. holds enough seed they feed from it...still looks great out there....still glad I bought them."
"They never even tried this No No feeder. The finches were okay with it but prefer the other two feeders (along with their nyjer feeders) over this one."
With this feeder’s 4.5 lb seed capacity, the Panorama Wild Bird Feeder provides plenty of seed to go around. Evenseed technology uses 2 separate compartments so all ports stay active.

"I think with it being to solid and able to hold such a good weight of seed, it becomes more vulnerable to cracking should it fall from a tall feeder station."
"This is a great feeder."
"Works like a charm!"
"If I were to buy it again I would make sure it was more secure so that it couldn't get knocked to the ground since it is more fragile than I would have liked."
"Bought the Heritage universal pole kit and planted it in the flower garden in the backyard."
"The birds flock to it every day - finches, sparrows, cardinals, doves, bluejays, bluebirds, tufted titmouses, and chickadees."
"The top slides up and stays where you put it, so you can refill."

"I find now with this brand of bird seed that my birds LOVE this the best. I will now only purchase my bird seed from Amazon."
"I had just moved in and put up a few bird feeders."
"I got a small bird feeder when I got the seed and have to fill it up about every 2 days."
"Now we get many different species, including doves, woodpeckers, chickadees, various finches and others all interested in our one bird feeder."

"We use these for our chickens and they would rather drink from these than the regular water dispensers sold for chicken coops."
"Nice bird waterer."
"Previous watering devices were difficult to clean."
"(Just use a 1:4 mixture of sugar to unsoftened water; which is the same thing, without the harmful dye)."
"Despite the manufacturers comment that the metal pan is powder coated this is not true."
"My base the jars screws on to rusted fairly soon."
"The only downside is that after awhile, it seems like the metal plate at the bottom is slightly deformed from the weight and doesn't screw on/off quite as smoothly as it did initially. UPDATED: When I first got it, I noticed that parts of the "blue" on the glass was actually just a layer of paint and was coming off."
