I received this this past weekend and immediately went to get some bird seed to put in it. Got home and put it together, which was very easy, and it came with very good instructions. Put it outside and filled it up. The next day we had at least ten sparrows flying around it as well as a couple of cardinals. The construction of this bird feeder is very well done and it is pleasing to the eye. I will have to get more bird seed because it's almost empty. And the squirrels can't get to the seed because of the baffle. Nice job.
