Nyjer Mesh Tube Bird Feeder, Medium

 (9 customer reviews)

This is an excellent feeder and will attract clinging birds like goldfinches, pine siskins and finches. It allows for lots of feeding because there are no perches and finches love to cling. It has added advantage of discouraging larger birds because they have no place to perch. Easy to fill. Well made and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Use with nyjer or thistle seed.

Back to the Aspects feeder: Some seeds will come through the mesh while you fill it, so do fill it outside or over a bowl. Trust me, you do not want a feeder that is too fine and doesn't let any seed spill out when filling, the birds will prefer other feeders. Use some warm...Read more
