We purchased this bird feeder for my father-in-law for Christmas and it is absolutely beautiful. Note that in the image, it appears to have a leaf pattern at the top left corner. We wondered if that might be shadowing in the picture only and that was the case… the top is solid in color, which was nice because we weren’t sure dad would like a leaf design. Several people commented that it was one of the prettiest bird feeders they had ever seen. It’s a really good size with sturdy perches for the birds and a great flow system inside for how it drops the seeds within reach of the birds. Easy to fill and holds a large amount of seeds. The top of the feeder is beautiful, much darker than pictured here with a gorgeous copper colored latch and copper colored handle at top to match the perches. The wood is more rich and natural looking in person than pictured here as well. I thought the picture made it look like the wood might be a bit orange but it’s not at all. Basically, if you think this bird feeder looks good in the picture, just wait until you see it in person – it is even prettier! I think every aspect of it was better looking in person and we were surprised by how well constructed it was and beautiful, especially given the very reasonable price. You would have thought we’d paid far more for it. We were incredibly pleased with the purchase and dad loved it. Customer service was exceptionally prompt and friendly. Highly recommend this feeder.

I was so excited when this bird feeder arrived. It really adds elegance to my backyard. It’s the prettiest feeder I’ve ever seen and it’s quality made at such a reasonable price. My big issue with it is that it’s not squirrel proof. I didn’t expect the squirrels around my area to be so greedy. They’ve been able to shimmy up the hanging pole, cling onto the sides of the feeder by wrapping their body around it, and steal all the seeds from the birds. I’m not sure what to do? I wish the design had been squirrel proof. The squirrels have even bit through some of the wood to get at the food. I’m disappointed for now
and just took it down this morning until I have a better plan. I guess I have to buy an extra component to deter the squirrels. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise.

This feeder is well constructed, has a great design, looks great and holds plenty of bird seed. The perches are larger than I expected. We enjoy watching the birds and the birds love it!

I bought this for my father for Father’s Day. My father thought it was so well made and attractive that he didn’t want to use it outside, but as a decorative piece in his home. He decided to buy a new shepard’s hook worthy of hanging the feeder. It has become a real piece of “art” in his backyard. My dad rarely makes his feelings known, but he repeated over and over to me, “how beautiful and well made” this feeder is. This rated right up there with his new John Deere riding lawn mower…. You can’t go wrong with this as a gift or for your own home.
