This bird feeder is great. Accommodates both small and large birds. Holds a lot of seed. It's solid metal, and that brings up the only con-- it's fairly heavy, so make sure whatever you're hanging it from can support the weight. The squirrels love it too so if you don't want them gorging on your bird seed, you'll need to figure something out! I don't find the grid particularly effective from keeping birds from flinging seed to the ground, but the ground-feeding birds like it that way, and that works for me!
