Bird Feeder Satellite (65001)

 (6 customer reviews)

This modern saturn-look small feeder is the cutest feeder that you can find here in the US. But you have to know its limitation or should I say, its targeted birds. Only small song birds can eat from it. It takes only black sunflower seeds although I use a premium blend and the birds just love it. It allows only ONE bird at a time to feed from it. And because of this, don't expect a lot of bird traffic. But it's very well made, its plastic is very hard/strong/thick. Much more sturdy than Duncraft's Cling-a-Wing globe feeder. I need to limit bird traffic & seed dropping as chipmunks (and soon squirrels) are attracted big time so this low-traffic small feeder suits my specific application well, but if you desire something else, this feeder may disappoint you.

I bought this feeder thinking it would deter the house sparrow and house finches. While it does keep house sparrows away, the house finches still manage to feed from it. Worse of all, some of them stick the upper part of their body into the opening and just perch there while they go through the seeds, leaving shells behind in the feeder! I have yet to see the smaller birds feed from it.

The traffic at my main feeders can get very heavy at times. I bought this small feeder for use in an inner courtyard. Has worked out just great. The smaller birds are now out of the rush hour traffic.
