I bought this feeder about 5 or 6 years ago. Amazon's price is about half what I paid! This is an excellent, tough, well made feeder. Our feeder gets constant use, even by woodpeckers, and has held up very well. The dark green color has faded some, and the center part of the copper roof has blackened some. But other than that, it's in great shape. This feeder is metal with real copper roof and is quite heavy when full. It holds a ton of seed, so you don't have to fill as often.
The squirrels have not been able to feed from this -- it really has kept them out. Really large birds also seem discouraged. My only problem is raccoons, but even they had a hard time with this feeder! I have it hanging from a hook on my deck outside a window. Because of the raccoons, I've started taking the feeder down at night -- but sometimes I forget. When I did forget and leave it out, the raccoons tried to open the top. When they weren't able to, they knocked it to the ground -- a 20 foot fall! Believe it or not, this feeder was knocked down several times and all that happened was one corner bent just slightly!! Amazing!! This is one tough feeder!
If you want a feeder that will really hold up, this is it. It's the most durable feeder I've ever owned, and it's also quite attractive. I do have to admit that I prefer the tube-type feeders because there are often so many birds on them at one time. Birds seem to feed just one at a time on this one. That's my only complaint about it. If you have critters problems, I highly recommend this feeder. And Amazon definitely has the best price.
This is the most squirrel-proof feeder I've seen -- and I've owned many, many feeders in my life. However, that said, the best way to keep raccoons and squirrels out of your feeders is to hang them on a really well made, tall pole with a raccoon/squirrel baffle at the bottom. If you have raccoons, get a baffle specifically called a racoon baffle. These also keep the squirrels off too. Liberty Products makes excellent poles and Amazon sells them for the best price. Good luck!
