Gardman A01234 Flip Top Bird Seed Feeder, Green, 5 x 13 x 14 cm

A really sturdy bird feeder. Is already feeding the birds and keeping the squirrels out. Delivered on time and at a very good price. A pleasure to do business with a seller that does everything they promised.

I needed to get a feeder which the Starlings wouldn't rinse and this works really well. Younger starlings have a go and can just about reach the fat balls, but they can't really tuck in. The adults try all the angles, but fail.After a couple of days, smaller birds grew in confidence and started feeding normally, which is great.People have mentioned in the reviews for this product that Starlings are in decline, so I've continued to put fat balls in my existing feeder, which I've positioned away from this new feeder. It means they don't bully the smaller birds.One slight negative - the lid is a bit fiddly. It's a very simple design, but not brilliantly made. It's still a great product however and well worth the 30 quid.

Good quality and good for the feathered customers, squirrels not at all happy about it..... which was the plan.

Easy to open and fill. Good quality metal too and bottom and strong Perspex tube.

Well made. Good value.

This comes fully assembled and is sturdy.The good stuff.This is really solid and certainly squirrel proof. I had 4 of the little darlings in the garden one day and decided enough was enough and bought this.This may seem a tad cruel, but it was to my sense of humour fun, watching my furry friends trying to get into the new feeder. Squirrels get grumpy, very quickly it would appear. Then they start falling out with one another and chasing their chums up and done the feeder post ( I have a 8 foot high 4 inch by 4 inch post with hanging basket brackets attached on the edge of the patio for bird feeding, we are a tad excessive!) then a few laps of the patio before running off to continue the debate (fight) in the oak tree at the bottom of the garden. Pay back!!The not brilliant bit.The feeder comes with a lid that opens easily to allow feeding. However the whole of the top does come off also to allow for cleaning I assume. But if you get the right conditions and an over energetic squirrel it can cause the top and the cage to come undone. Resulting in the whole thing falling apart and depositing the contents on the floor. Only happened the once I really checked the mechanism each time I filled up. But be careful.The really horrible bit.If you are of a nervous disposition stop reading this review.The following is not the fault of the feeder or the maker but you need to bear it in mind.The feeder is great at keeping squirrels out. But it is a cage and can act as a trap. We unfortunately have a sparrowhawk that visits. It has always been infrequent. However one turning up the other day there was a great tit on the feeder and it lost a vital second clearing the bars of the feeder and that was it caught.Since then the sparrowhawk is noticeably more regular in its visits and has caught a second great tit. Blue tits seem to escape the feeder with little problem but the great tits being that little larger have troubles.So with regret I am going back to the old feeder. This is not the fault of this item which does what it claims.

These are easy to fill and birds love hanging on them. Even the squirrels have a nibble. Great to watch them enjoying the fat balls.

The media could not be loaded. I had high hopes as it seemed to deter the squirrels initially, but now they’ve figured it out!
