Product description
This set includes two tube-style bird feeders made for nyjer/thistle seeds, millet and other small seed mixes. Each unit is built from all-metal components intended for outdoor use and regular handling.
The feeders feature a wire cage surrounding the seed ports to make access difficult for larger pests; this cage-style defense reduces squirrel theft and directs feed toward smaller songbirds. A sturdy metal roof and base protect the seed and provide a mounting point for a heavy-duty hanging ring.
Filling and upkeep are simple: the top and bottom disassemble for refills and cleaning. Fastening hardware is secure—screw-on caps and internal nuts allow the feeder to be taken apart when needed. Fold-down metal perches give birds stable landing spots while keeping the overall profile compact.
Hang the feeders outdoors where seed-eating songbirds are active. Their capacity is generous enough to cut down on how often you top them up in busy yards, and the design helps draw goldfinches, chickadees, cardinals and other small wild birds to your yard.
Pros
- Sturdy all-metal construction
- Cage-style design limits squirrel access
- Top and bottom remove for easy filling and cleaning
Cons
- Top can be stiff to remove on some units
- Popular feeders may require frequent refills
- Some species may ignore nyjer until accustomed
VerdictA durable, easy-care pair of tube feeders that draw small seed-eating birds and frustrate most squirrels. The metal build and removable components simplify maintenance, and multiple perches let several birds feed at once. Expect steady use from finches and similar species and frequent refills if your yard is popular.

Compact, Well-Made Thistle Feeder
Attracts finches and is nicely finished. The simple construction is the right scale for our yard and squirrels haven't gotten into the seed. Assembly and refilling are quick. As an avid watcher, I appreciate how well it performs even with the usual yard wildlife.

Hoping for Yellow Finches
Bought to lure yellow finches. House finches are around but haven't used this feeder much yet. Unsure whether it’s the seed or the placement; giving it more time.

Birds Flock to Them
Attractive design and the birds use them constantly. The removable top and bottom should make cleaning easier, though I had some trouble lifting the larger top when refilling.

Perfect for Goldfinch Viewing

Two Feeders Let More Birds Feed Together
Our yard filled with goldfinches once these went up. One feeder held a surprising number of birds at once—both feeders are now in heavy rotation. We rotated perches and added ground protein for other wildlife; the garden is a real bird hub.

Roomy, House-Like Feeder
Holds a lot of seed and the openings handle different sizes of feed. Birds seem to favor it, so I end up refilling more often. Four flip-up perches (one per side) provide good access for multiple birds.

Solid, Weatherproof Design
Exactly what I needed for a small footprint on a post. Heavy-gauge metal, secure screw-off roof and an internal wing nut let you take it apart for cleaning. Thick hanging ring feels reliable. Four fold-down perches and large capacity mean fewer refills and good winter durability.
