Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this platform feeder early last year, 2009, after reading that some birds will come to a platform more readily than just a regular house type seed feeder. I researched platforms thru Google, etc., and I liked the features of this one, and the price. It is plastic with a mesh seed support, which makes it long lasting and easy to clean.
I started putting sunflower seed on it, and within a couple of days, we had Goldfinches in their winter attire on it, probably twenty, plus. We had them again this year, but they have just left for Yankee land I guess. But we did see, this past week, last of March, a couple of what I believe to be House Finches. Beautiful birds, very similar to Purple Finches. The Birds of GA book by Stan Tekiela has good photos of both, and he says the House Finch is a GA year round resident. In any event, we are now getting a greater variety of birds, including male and female Red Bellied Woodpeckers.
But I digress, we are seeing many more birds since I installed the platform, and they are easier to identify due to the open nature of a platform. I enjoy photographing them with a Canon 7D with Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. We use Nikon 7238 8X40 binocular, which I got from Amazon 3 weeks ago. See my review, excellent product.
If you don't have a platform feeder, and you enjoy home bird watching, you owe it to yourself to get one of these. Highly recommended.
