Duncraft 188G Metal Selective Feeder with Metal Seed Tray Review

Duncraft 188G Metal Selective Feeder with Metal Seed Tray

This morning I saw a red-tailed hawk swoop up and grab one of the little pine siskins in this cage feeder, right through the bars. I had thought the birds were safe in this feeder, but it turned out to be not quite true. The hawk had trouble pulling his foot back out of the cage with the pine siskin trapped in his claws, but he finally managed it.
Even though Duncraft makes some great bird feeders, there are three reasons why I would not buy this model again:
--red squirrels can squeeze through the bars and get at the seed
--the cage bottom is very difficult to clean. The discarded husks, seeds, and bird droppings create a formidable cement, even after just one day (as I said, the small birds really like this feeder)
--hawks can reach through the bars and extract the smaller birds

Arundale 150 Mandarin Wild Bird Feeder Review

The "dramatic" dome does not keep out rain. There's a hole for the chain at the top! Rain invariably seeps in, so that the seed at the bottom, where the birds feed, rots. Even though this feeder holds so much, I sometimes have to take it down before it's empty to clean it. Admitedly, I live in Georgia, and we get torrential downpours. If you get only light showers, or live in a dry region, this may be the feeder for you.
However, the perches on the feeder are plastic, and are once again worn or broken. No one seems to want to stock them, so I'm on the internet looking for some. Amazon does not have them either. I'll continue my search. At some point, I'll continue my pathetic search for the perfect feeder.

Duncraft 171 Squirrel Proof Selective Feeder Review

This type of feeder is a death trap to small birds!
We put a similar feeder [with squirrel-proof caging] up in our yard, hoping to deter the squirrels, and it did.
Sadly, we lost 3 sparrows in the process. So many little birds clammered into the feeder, that when something spooked them, and they all tried to get out at once, 3 of them broke there necks in the mad rush. That is NOT acceptable!
We immediately took it down and trashed it.
I'd rather put up with the squirrels than lose even ONE bird!
This type of feeder should be OUTLAWED!

This Duncraft Squirrel Proof Selective wild bird feeder holds about 1-1/2 lbs of mixed seed. 10" diameter wire fenced area keeps out larger birds and squirrels. 15-1/2" tallwith 6 feeding stations. The wire base on this feeder allows discarded seed to fall to the ground, keeping squirrels off the feeder, and attracting more ground-feeding birds.
