The parts are excellent quality, built for a lifetime. Unlike copper tops, the stainless steel top works smoothly and the feeder is easy to fill.
For the price, I'd expect some missing features.
- A tray or dish on the bottom of the feeder. Goldfinches feeding on thistle seed invariably cause uneaten seeds to fall, either to the ground, or to a little bottom dish that I added. There are always one or two finches grubbing around the dish for morsels, essentially adding two feeding stations!
- A longer grain tube. There is only about 4" between the top of the grain tube and the first two feeding holes. Often the finches eat that much food before noon, so there is no more food available in the top holes. Four more inches would be so much more convenient, i.e. a 20# tube for the same number of holes and perches.
- It would be nice to have three or four feeding stations on each level. Goldfinches are small and social. I'm sure they wouldn't mind the company. As it is, most members of even a small flock spend too much time waiting for a feeding spot.
So, I'd recommend this feeder, but Droll Yankees should get the details right to justify the high price.
"Best design on the market for a thistle feeder" 2007-09-26
By Darla (Kentucky)
Droll Yankees has my undying loyalty. I recieved as a gift, one of these thistle feeders many years ago. After years of use the tube did become brittle and cracked. I took them up on their lifetime warranty offer and mailed the broken one back to them. In a short time I had a clean,refurbished, good as new feeder.
But, I have a confession. Before I sent my feeder for repair my head was turned by a glitzy (and expensive) copper feeder made by another company.
I soon found out it was poorly designed and allowed moisture to get into the thistle seeds and create a moldy,clumped mess. While trying to use this other feeder I probably wasted enough seed to pay for it all over again.
You can't go wrong with the Droll Yankees feeder. The design is right. Seed stays dry and the feeder is easy to fill.
