Schrodt Designs TH-16HW Heron Willows Teahouse Birdfeeder

I bought this bird feeder and had to throw it away within a month! The birds in my area liked the holes on the bottom the best and pecked the holes even bigger. Within a month, all the bird feed would just pour out those larger bottom holes and the feeder could hold no feed at all. The wood was beautiful, but too soft to be practical.

This is really a beautiful feeder that our backyard birds seemed to really enjoy. However, one day a squirrel make minced meat out of it. Chewing a large hole in the wood and draining out all of the seed. Don't hang it without a squirrel guard. I was lucky because a handy friend was able to repair the feeder and it again is in use with a squirrel guard.

After filling our beautiful Heron Willows Teahouse birdfeeder with black thistle seed, the etched herons stood out dramatically. We set it on a hook outside our dining room window and waited for the show to begin.In less than a week, we had six or more pairs of beautiful goldfinches vying for their turn at the feeder. They are competitive little critters, especially the bright yellow males. So in addition to watching them eat, we are constantly entertained with their efforts to unseat their rivals and gain access to the food.When the goldfinches take a break, we simply enjoy the elegant design. This is one feeder that feeds the soul as well as the body. We heartily recommend it!
