Know before you buy
The feeder features a specialized cage design that creates a physical barrier. This allows smaller songbirds like bluebirds and chickadees to pass through to the seed while preventing larger birds and squirrels from accessing the cylinder.
Yes, the feeder is designed for use with standard seed cylinders. You simply open the feeder, slide the new cylinder onto the central support, and secure it, making the process quick and mess-free.
This model is specifically engineered as a cylinder feeder. While it is optimized for the included gourmet seed cylinders, using loose seed is not recommended as it will not stay contained within the barrier structure.
The copper finish is applied over durable metal construction. It provides a classic look while offering the weather resistance needed to withstand outdoor elements throughout the seasons.
While designed with bluebirds in mind, the variety of gourmet cylinders—including the Woodpecker Favorite and fruit-based blends—will also attract chickadees, nuthatches, and various woodpecker species to your yard.
The included bundle contains four different seed cylinders with a combined weight of approximately 7.25 pounds, providing a long-lasting supply of varied food sources for your local birds.
