5Important Seed Recommendation-FinchesDec 11, 2010
By L. Craig
I noticed the comment on the squirrels eating through the feed tube and wanted to offer my experience. I have found two types of "finch" seed, one that is 100% thistle and another that is a mix with another tiny tan seed. I started with the 100% thistle and didn't have any issues with squirrels until i used the other mix--then the squirrels ate through the feeder in a day. the brand feeder i had had a replacement policy and i replaced the tube but didn't think about the seed, so the squirrels ate through it again. I repaired and switched back to the 100% thistle, and for a year now, I have not had any issues with squirrels. Squirrels will get into almost any feeder but luckily they don't like thistle, so stick with the 100% thistle seed in finch feeders and you should be able to keep it in great shape for years.

5Want to see nice bright yellow birds, and no sparrows?Sep 15, 2008
By Clay H. Pinkerton
This product is the ONLY thing to use for thistle seeds. You will get some bright yellow goldfinches, who are the "only" bird that can hang upside down to eat the seeds. Any other feeder will attract sparrows. Sparrows land on the posts on this one and try really hard to reach under, but always fall off the perch. The gold finches just spin around upside down and go to town eating. It does make a bit of a mess under it, with thistle seed tailings, so be careful on placement (i.e. in a garden not on your patio, or have some kind of tray underneath).

5Most importantly, this feeder works.Jul 13, 2009
By David R. Kliman "technology enthusiast"
Only the goldfinches actually have no problem eating the thistle they love, while hanging upside down.

Usually, sparrows or house finches will bully out the goldfinches, eventually scaring them away, but this unique feeder takes advantage of the fact that those larger, less graceful birds just can't hang upside down, so if you just want pure goldfinch at a feeder, this is the way to guarantee that.

Here is a slow motion video I recorded of a couple goldfinches enjoying the feeder.
[..]

Goldfinches are great to have around... for one thing, they eat dandelion seeds, right off your lawn... for another, they sing their hearts out a lot of the year, like a bunch of cute little canaries. their acrobatic hijinks alone are a good reason to have lots of good windows on your house, just so you can see them looping and bouncing through the air as if there were no such thing as gravity.

I suggest that you plant birch trees, sun flowers, silphium, and get more than one thistle feeder. If you run out of spots at your house, give some to neighbors, and you'll build up a critical mass of goldfinches in your neighborhood that will be an amazing thing to witness.

There is nothing quite like hundreds of beautiful yellow goldfinches singing all morning in a large tree, then coming to your window feeder squabbling and arguing about who gets the best spot.

5Perky Pet Upside-Down Bird FeederFeb 18, 2009
By Harold E. Schott
These feeders work exactly as advertised. They attract more finches than another feeder I have with a metal top. Somehow, the finches seem to be more attracted to the yellow tops.

I also want to compliment the vendor for excellant service. It was fast, with no hassel at all.

4Good Feeder, Goldfinches Love ItNov 01, 2009
By Mad4Movies
I have had this Goldfinch Feeder for a few months now and really like it. The Goldfinches really seem to love it and I like watching them feed upsidedown. A few other smaller birds, namely Chickadees have found out how to use it but mainly only Goldfinches use it.

It is very easy to clean by taking it all apart, which is very easy, and then running water through it and then pushing a towel through the whole thing to dry it out. The bottom piece which is shaped like a V is sometimes a bit hard to put back in but I usually never have a problem with it.

I wish it had a better top to it so it would shield the rain water from running down the sides because when you get rain it seems to seep into the holes and gets the seed wet. The V shape piece in the bottom also seems to leak seed quite easy when moved or tapped but that doesn't detour me from using the feeder. This is the main reasons I gave this feeder a four star rating.

I'm overall happy with this feeder and the price is nice. I will see how it holds up through the winter months?
