Why it may suit you
- Shelled peanuts or sunflower for clinging birds, in a feeder whose top slides up the cable to fill and clean.
Know before you buy
- It has no perches: birds cling to the mesh, which suits chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers better than cardinals.
- It holds about 1 lb, and Birds Choice makes no squirrel claim for it.

Before it goes outside
Check the exact mount and any required adapters, the loaded weight, and whether you can safely reach the feeder for cleaning. Keep included parts visible on your shopping list so you do not buy them twice.
Keep the food dry, remove spoiled seed and debris, and choose a compartment you can clean thoroughly.
