I’ve been wanting a flythrough feeder to supplement my other perching feeders. This one attracts birds that don’t come to my tube feeders much—Cardinals, Catbirds, Titmice, Mourning Doves, Chipping Sparrows and Blue Jays love it. The roof not only keeps the food dry, bit provides some protection from the Cooper’s Hawk who frequents my yard. I did have to add a baffle to the pole to keep the squirrels out.i lkke the fact that the screen pops out easily for cleaning.
