The Oriolefest Oriole Bird Feeder has been a treat for beautiful birds since I have added sliced oranges, jellies for the top & nectar to the bottom reservoir to their diet.  It is compact but is large and bright enough to attract birds that I don't normally see. The top and the base that holds the nectar has been washed in the dishwasher on the top rack and was just fine.  Squirrels have tried to get into the food but after spraying with vegetable oil on the hanger. that seemed to deter them!  I really like this feeder.
