Duncraft 19624 Masterpiece Royal Cage Feeder

very sturdy bird feeder but squirrels have figured out how to lift the cover and feed from the top. So while this is a beautiful feeder, the squirrels get more of the bird seed than the wild birds.

This expensive Cage feeder, was advertised on Amazon as "squrrel proof"-it is not!! Duncraft said that they had had many complaints about the design of this feeder and had redesigned the lid, which a squrrel can pry open. Duncraft stated that Amazon.com was selling an old model of the feeder that used the defective design. So who is at fault: Duncraft or Amazon?? Duncraft should never sell a feeder that has known defects and Amazon should never offer merchandise with false claims. Althouth that may not have their intent-I am left with a defective product. I had to tie a piece of wire over the lid to keep the squrrels from opening the feeder, but then I was visited by a pair of Raccoons-the battle goes on! Amazon did offer to refund my money, but I had thrown away the box, and am disabled which makes it very difficult for me to get to a post office. I just took the loss!! Very disatisfied with this product!!!!!

It is a beautiful feeder and very sturdy. I love it.
