Hyde Bird Feeders

I have purchased this feeder for myself three times. I find it a good design; it functions well, it's attractive, it's easy to use. I hang it under a pecan tree in central Texas. It serves cardinals, small jays and smaller birds. Larger birds - eg., large jays and doves - cannot use it. One lasts about ten years, after which the plastic becomes brittle from UV radiation and it falls apart. The first had a thicket rigid plastic roof-cap that lasted a long time. The more recent versions have a cheap soft plastic roof-cap that disintegrates after about a year, after which I make another roof-cap. Out of the box, before using, I disassemble and reassemble with glue the two halves of the feeder; the glue-up extends its useful life. My only complaint is about the quality of the roof-cap.

We've used a squirrel's dilemma feeder for nearly 20 years! With a little mending, they have even survived bears. We are on #3 now! Love them!

A good feeder. Only 2 criticisms: The top does not fit smoothly and the dividers make it a bit hard to fill.

This is the only type people should use as as it feeds more birds at one time. Its also runs out at the same time. A value worth the money.

This is the second pair of these feeders that we have ordered from you. The fact that the three levels of of seed stay reasonably even is important to us because we count birds for the Cornell Project Feeder Watch Citizen Science Project.
