Cedar, all screwed construction, plated deck screws, fully routed edges, removable seed tray makes this feeder easy to clean and provides drainage to keep seed dry.
This review is from: Cedar 17"x14" Open Platform Feeder
I use this feeder for bird photography: I fill the tray with bird food, place a photogenic branch above the feeder, and then photograph the birds when they land on the branch, for a natural-looking image with no feeder visible in frame. Platform feeders work great for this, because the birds tend to approach from above, and they like to perch on a branch before hopping down onto the feeder. I've placed suet, safflower, and millet seed in this feeder with no problems. The mesh allows water to drain through, though seed (particular safflower) still gets soggy on rainy days. After using this feeder for almost a year, it's still in great condition.
