Woodstream/victor 310 1-1/2-Pound Carriage Bird Feeder

 (1 customer review)

There isn't a lot of difference between this feeder and most that have a similar design. I'd give one star to the lot of them. Reason? At least two thirds of the see goes on the ground. Once you see this type of feeder in action, it isn't hard to see why. The bird arrives, lands on one of the perches next to each hopper opening, and goes at the seeds. But there's nothing stopping the seeds that the bird didn't get hold of from falling through the gap between perch and opening. I set a tray on the ground to catch most of the seed, then wondered why I bothered to make up for a stupid design.

There's a reason why the old, home-made wooden bird feeders were platforms with roofs. The bird food stayed in the feeder.
