Although this feeder appears very sturdy it leaves much to be desired. The center wire that runs through the center of the feeding bin allows for the feeder to spin wildly in the wind. I had to drill a hole on each side of the roof and attach a 'Y' shaped wire that eliminates that spin. Further, the feeding tray where the birds eat the seed has no drainage holes and fills with water. Again, I had to drill four small drain holes to correct that problem. All in all, the feeder is not worth the money unless they correct these flaws. Other than that, it's perfect.

I picked this up at a local place because it was cheaper, but this is truly a squirrel proof feeder.
Squirrels slide on the roof, and if the weight bar is set low enough it closes when they start to sit on it and fall to the ground. No, they don't get hurt, and they have figured out that if they climb on it, seeds do fall to the ground. However, they don't empty it in one setting like with most feeders.
The birds of course love it! Cardinals, Blue jays, Juncos, Finches, and an occasional Ruby Breasted Grosbeak. Using a sunflower, safflower seed mix

Perhaps the squirrels in Maryland are more creative and determined, but ever since we hung the feeder last week, we've been inundated with squirrels in our backyard. So far, we've seen one bird using the feeder. The squirrels are able to balance themselves on the bar without it dropping them in order to get to the seed. Twice they have knocked the feeder onto the ground, spilling the contents everywhere. A relative of ours who also has this feeder reports the same problem. The feeder is more secure now and they can't knock it off, but they are still able to readily get to the seed.
We've admitted defeat to the squirrels, but at least our cats have a blast chasing them out of the yard!
