We've been looking at bird feeders for a while and we are so happy with this feeder! We went out and bought bird feed right away and put it up in our front yard. We were disappointed at first because we didn't see any birds for about three days but over the weekend so many birds were visiting our little feeder. Guess they just had to find it. This is so easy to use and set up, just make sure you buy the blocked type of feed and not loose seed because the holes are large and will spill the majority of the seed immediately.
