“Difficult to fill, difficult to hang and difficult to clean. The bigger birds can eat from it because the cage is too narrow and they can reach the seed. I am not even using it because it is not fit for purpose.”
“It is always a pleasure to deal with or buy from Vine House Farm. The Nuttery Caged Bird Seed Feeder is well made and very easy to use. It's a pleasure to see small birds flying in, eating and then flying out at great speed. The only problems are that the cage is wide enough to allow Parakeets to spend a lot of time eating from our Feeder, and having used wires to prevent Squirrels from opening the cap on top, we now see Squirrels upside-down on the outside of the cage, eating Bird Seed which has spilled out onto the bottom tray. The result is that it seems that small birds are sometimes delayed in getting access to the Bird Seed.”
“Arrived very quickly; 2 faults with it. Firstly with wood pigeons standing on it the cover at the top broke so i have had to fix it myself.Secondly, we have had really heavy rain at times for 24 +.The main shute with the feed gets feed gets stuck and does not flow as it should.”
Hello
Thank you for your feedback.
As this feeder is a squirrel proof seed feeder, the seed tube does need to be made thicker, is it made with a thinner more durable plastic.
The small chain attached to the lid, is to stop the lid form being lost.
The two main thick wire loops that are on two sides of the feeder will pull together at the top to enable you to fix to a suitable hanger.
Kindest Regards
Vine House Farm
“Very sturdy feeder and the small birds love it but unfortunately, the Magpies can still get their heads through it and reach one of the food stations”
“Well made and attractive but smaller than its predecessor--Ok for smaller birds but finches find it a bit challenging to fit between the outer cage and the food.”
“Been looking for a replacement for a much loved by the birds feeder, when I spotted this - the exact same feeder! Well made, the replaced feeder has lasted years but is gradually rusting away.
Some people have commented on the fiddly handles, I have used a carabiner (find them in walking shops) and it makes hanging a doddle and opening to fill very easy. Very pleased with purchase.”
“I have or have had many Nuttery feeders. This one is hopeless as it is a) very THIN and b) sunflower hearts stick to side and c) birds empty it in under a day and d) the holder at top is two wires which are very fiddly to hang so all in all pretty useless! Sorry”
