This birdhouse has screws everywhere, thick Cedar wood, and should last for years. It has great construction and the bluebirds are already checking it out. They've nested happily in other models of this bird house. I love that it has everything they need to keep them safe!
We originally bought 2 of these feeders at a local backyard bird shop, with the guidance of the store help. It's the right size for the amount of nectar our birds drink between cleaning (dishwasher top rack) and refilling. The broader edge gives the hummingbirds a place to rest.
We’ve tried everything to keep squirrels from eating from the bird feeders and spilling seed. So far, they’ve gotten on top of this feeder and when they press the bar, it closes. So it works as promised. I’ll be watching to see if the squirrels figure out another way. They’re welcome to eat what the birds spill but I want them off the feeder!
