We have a Droll Yankees feeder similar to this one and it's over 20 years old. Looks like the new ones are made even better. Definitely worth the money.

We've owned this feeder for 8 years. It hangs from a pole off our deck where we can see if from our kitchen table. The kids love watching the cardinals, robins, tit mouse, chickadees, and the occasional woodpecker that come in to feed. I am impressed at how long the feeder has held up without any damage beyond expected wear and weathering. It even fell from a height of 10 feet to the dirt ground when a pesky squirrel dislodged the squirrel cage one day. The feeder still works. We refill it about every other week to keep the songbirds fed. It's relatively easy to fill but we bought a large, plastic funnel to make it easier to pour bird feed into it. I would buy another if this one ever breaks.

We added a squirrel cage that encloses the feeder because we lost about 3-4 feeders of food due to squirrels getting into it while it hung off our deck. The squirrel cage fit perfectly and is made of metal wire -- very durable. I do not recall where we got the cage but I think it was a from a big box hardware store.

A good, sturdy feeder with easy access for the birds. It's also very easy to fill and clean.

I recently purchased two additional bird feeders, one to add to my yard and another for a friend. This is a well-built and designed feeder. The top easily comes up and out of the way so that you can add feed without difficulty. We have had one for years and years, and it is still in great condition. I also purchased the tray that attaches to the bottom, and many birds find this a good landing spot or in fact a preferred place to eat from.

Great product. The birds love it and can not leave it alone. Very Strudy, and well built will last a long time.
