I Love Robins Feeder

The feeder has been in place for a week, but I'm still waiting to see any birds on it.

lovely item good quality and stops the big birds getting to the food. Nice company and quick delivery

Very pleased with the feeder, it certainly keeps the seed dry, but even with the dome very low some starlings can get in to hoover up the fat pellets!

The small birds love this feeder and it is perfect for keeping the bigger ones at bay, like the pigeons .

I love this feeder! The design not only ‘does what it says on the tin' but is very pleasing to the human observer. The basic idea is that it allows small birds to get to the food while excluding some of the larger ones which tend to hog the feeders or bully other birds. The great thing is that it is adjustable. When I first hung it out in the open it was quickly discovered by blue tits who ate their fill inside the feeder just as some birds will hop onto a tray or bird table. Great tits also turned up and fed from the rim. It occurred to me then that I needed to make the opening a little wider as it was a squeeze for the larger tits. Having done so we also moved the feeder to a bush which cannot be reached by the neighbourhood cats or our occasional sparrowhawk. An hour later and it had become a dunnock sanctuary. Our couple of pairs of dunnocks are adept at managing the traditional hanging feeders and trays but remain shy and are the most easily dislodged by starlings etc. Day two and both blue and great tits were back and this time confident enough to feed inside the feeder. Within a week our goldfinches were using it as a fully stocked waiting room when their fellows had packed out the sunflower-heart feeders. A few days later out house sparrow flock had found they could use it too. The great thing is that it is second choice to the larger sparrows and greenfinches and a back-up for the goldfinches, but its first choice now for shy dunnocks and a safe haven for tits. Nearly a month in and we've not yet seen a robin inside despite the meal worms, but the incoming robins are only just checking the garden out and our summer pair are long gone.I'm very positive about this new addition to our feeding station, thanks Peckamix!
