Sparrows are about the only birds around here that can feed from this bird feeder. I also have robins and doves that nest near here but they can't seem to stand on the feeder and feed. It is easy to load but the local sparrows can eat a full load of bird seed in a couple of hours.

Reviewer: Melodymom
This is an easy to fill, attractive bird feeder. It is not of high quality materials - the plastic of the body of the bird feeder is only slight better quality than a two-liter soda bottle. But for the price, I think it is fine. The lid screws on tightly and has a good seal. At first I was a bit disappointed that it just has a small eyehole for hanging it - I pondered over what to use to hang it. But then I unscrewed the lid and discovered there is a small S hook taped inside the lid. It will be very adequate for hanging on a (slender) shepherd's hook or small branch.
I rate it five stars based on what you get for the price. If it cost $20, I would NOT have rated it 5 stars. There are certainly better quality bird feeders out there if you are willing to spend more money. But if your price point is around $6, then this is a 5 star product in that price range.
