I love that this bird feeder provides several options for feeding. Assembly was quick and easy. Mix up the nectar and pour it in. There is an ant moat, just fill it with water. Pop the included bee guards on the under side and put the top piece on. Punch the brass rod through an orange half and screw it on. Add some grape jelly into the depressions and hang it up! It's been un-seasonally cold here, so I haven't seen many birds yet, but any day they should be swarming around!
