Since we have rats who just happen to love JCS’s No Mess Seed Cylinder, I am forced to remove mine every evening. The JCS Wildlife Bird Seed Cylinder Feeder has made this an easy chore. Returning the feeder to our waiting customers each morning is, also, a much easier chore. I like the presentation of the seed cylinder on this handsome feeder. It is designed to have your cylinder sit 1.5” above a solid surface which then allows me to tuck a suet cake under the bottom of the feeder where it stays in place. No more fishing it out of the pond. I do believe this feeder is going to last a lifetime…it is so well built.
