As others have written, I found this feeder to be very well made, and it definitely keeps the food dry. I thought it a bit expensive, but now that I have it, I realize it is a good value. No more wet food, and wastage is minimal as the seed mostly falls to the lower tray. I initially had a bit of trouble visualizing how this feeder worked, so I have posted a photo of a Goldfinch hanging on the upper food compartment. I appreciate RetAF's comment about putting some food on the lower tray. Actually I shook the feeder gently and some food fell from the container to the lower tray. It was not long until the birds began to feed, and then very quickly learn to get to the upper container. We have an Indigo Bunting that uses it from time to time and he is a sight to behold.

I had a problem with big birds--mostly starlings and grackles--that don't play well with smaller birds like the morning doves. Terrorized the small ones and then ate everything. Got this one with the special cage accessory and bye-bye bad guys! Took awhile to train the small ones--tossing extra seed into the tray till they figured out how to peck out the seed. Now they love it. I love watching them. And I love the large tube so I don't have to constantly refill to keep them sated and it comes totally apart to clean.

This is really the best bird feeder I have ever seen! The seed stays perfectly dry! No mold! No waste! Wonderful! Extremely sturdy!
Caveat: The birds have to learn how to use it. It took a couple of months for my birds to smarten up. What helped (I think): I filled a conventional tray-style feeder and hung it near the All Weather. When the seed in the tray feeder was gone, I left it hanging empty. The birds were conditioned to find seed in the area. They could see the seed in the All Weather and kept after it until, viola, success.
I like this feeder so well that I'm going to buy a second, AND it's made in the USA!
