Awesome, sturdy birdfeeder. Holds 12 lbs. of seeds so you don't have to refill as often. Got it within a week after ordered.

I have used this feeder for several years. It holds about 10 pounds of seeds, is easy to fill and protected from the elements by the cover, which also protects the feeding birds. Do not take it apart as it is not easy to reassemble. Can be cleaned with hose from the filler holes.
The problem is that to prevent the squirells from getting at it, it must be mounted on a pole with a baffle. This makes it rather difficult to refill because lifting the feeder with over 10 pounds of feed and securing it high up is not easy.

Great Bird Feeder - Easy to Fill,

I've been using this bird feeder for 4 years now and have not had any of the problems that M. Stewart mentions. You do not remove the top assembly (which supports the tubes) in order to fill the tubes. Read the instructions!! You only remove the top squirrel baffle (NOT the top of the tube support) to expose the rotating funnel. The funnel revolves and aligns over each tube allowing you to easily fill the tubes with bird seed. Very easy. My bird feeder has scores of birds coming to it regularly. I would rate this a 4 1/2 star.
