![]() ![]() Yes, as I've mixed dried meal worms with the seed, a pair of mated Bluebirds visits regularly. Within one week birds visiting this feeder include: House Finches, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Gold Finches, Juncos, Cardinals, Downy WPs and BLUEBIRDS! Blue Jays and Mourning Doves are feeding below from spilled seed left on the ground. Anchoring system, foot poles and seed weight have held this feeder in place through 20-25 mph winds. We will see if the squirrel decides to jump off the roof of the house to get to the feeder.Įxcellent quality and sturdiness from top to bottom. I have moved the bird feeder to a spot that is tree free and eight feet from any structure. It took a week for the squirrel to figure out it could jump that far and land on top and then shimmy over the edge. I placed the bird feeder 8 feet from the nearest tree. Am I missing a part that should close the top? Because there is no drainage at the bottom of the pole I am concerned that over time it will be damaged from accumulation of ice, snow and rain. Buy some ink or a new printer please.Īs to the item itself, once together it looked nice, but my concern is that the pole is open at the top and will allow rain and snow to get inside the pole. Also checked Google and :YouTube for instructions, but found none. I had to figure out how to assemble pretty much by guess and by gosh. The print on my instructions was faint to missing entirely. Those are the pleased comments.įor the price of the item I think that you could afford to send a better printed copy of assembly instructions. I am hoping to get a nice population of birds this winter. It is attractive and holds a lot of seeds. I was excited to receive my Jagunda bird feeder. Or, plug it with a bit of clay, maybe even a gob of packed plumber's putty. Just slip this in and I think it solves the problem. I believe there is a 4 inch or so plastic extension (threaded on top) which fits into the top of the pole for adding a tube feeder or something. Water will go down the tube, collect at the bottom and lead to corrosion. PS: yes, the opening of the pole on top is an issue. I have one jacunda and bought one as a gift for my bird watcher significant other. They are beautiful, but I leave them to their own devices. I typically stop feeding when the troops of grackles appear in spring. The ground position of course taken up by dark eyed juncos. Carolina wrens are coming as well, also getting to the separate suet feeder (protected by a cone shaped dome, also maybe a Droll Yankee product). My frequent/daily visitors lately have been house finches, cardinals, blue jays, black capped chickadees, house sparrows. ![]() The birds seem to figure it out pretty quickly. In response to comments on the slipperiness of the platform, I've noticed this as well, but my observation has been that the difficulty is only temporary. I do not have the feeder charged with seed in warm weather (I'm in the Northeast), so when the ground softens up it doesn't matter to me. I've overcome this with some rocks and wood wedges pounded in alongside the pole. When it's really cold out I open this up a bit to lessen the energy expenditure of the birds in their food quest.Īnother negative is that on my first unit, one of the legs (of the three) of the base tripod broke at the weld, rendering the stance a tad unstable. I try to overcome this to some extent by making the seed opening on the cylinder as small as possible. I mean, how could it, really? Unless the wet stuff is falling straight down, the seed in the feeding area will get wet. It does not, however, provide much protection from the elements (rain, snow) for the seed collecting in the feeding tray part. The lid covering the see does protect the seed quite well from the elements. The features list you put up is a bit misleading as to one aspect. I'll start review with brief negatives though overall quite positive for me. ![]()
