This feeder is huge so I was skeptical the finchs would like it ,plus it has a spiral perch. But they love it .Construction is great and easy to clean.

Like everyone else says, this feeder is HUGE – got a big laugh about it at the office when it was delivered and I opened the box. The birds love it, it’s really cool to see, like, 16+ finches all over this thing – can hardly wait for spring when the males’ bright yellow plumage comes back. No problem with other species trying to horn-in. High quality. Only problem – I’m not sure what’s causing this, but there always forms under the feeder a HUGE pile of (presumably uneaten) thistle seed. It’s not like the feeder is leaking, but perhaps the holes are too big and extra seeds come out while the finches are feeding. Got to the point where it’s killing the grass and then getting scattered by the ground birds. Real mess. Had to put a rubbermaid container under it to catch the seed.

This is the best finch feeder I have ever had. I like how easy it is to fill and the birds love it.

I get 7-9 goldfinch on this feeder at different times through out the day!

It is easy to fill and hang!!

I have had this bird feeder for about a year now and we really like it except that it is a bigger seed waster than our other nijer seed finch feeders. You definately need the Bird Quest large size seed tray to catch all the seed that falls through the holes. The holes on this feeder are round, not oblong like on most finch feeders. It is fun to watch the birds flock to this feeder. They do come to this feeder first, before our other feeders. I wonder if it is because the seed comes out of this one easier.
