Bird Choice Feeder & Songbird Essentials Seed Hoop

Northern Califonia


Birds Choice SN11NYJER Magnet Mesh Recycled Nyjer Feeder

The bright yellow feeder frame is made from 5/8" recycled poly-lumber (recycled milk jugs), with polyester-powder coated black mesh, & plastic coated hanging cable. Lifetime warranty. Capacity: 1-1/4 Quart. 1.5 qt capacity.

Review: The mesh's holes are quite large so lots of nyjer seed & other small seed fall out. Mesh screens are stiff & slide out for easy cleaning.
Easy to fill, attractive. Other than seed slipping easy through the holes, great feeder. Birds love it-yellow seems to attract goldfinches faster & because of the mesh more birds can feed together.


------------------Songbird Essentials Seed Hoop------------
Seed Hoop 16 in SeedHoop

Product Model: SEIA30034

Saves money by catching up to 90% of spilled seed eliminating seed mess & a food source for rodents. Is durable, lightweight & easy to attach. Adapts to virtually all bird feeders. Attaches via 4 adjustable nylon cords each 36" long with corrosion resistant hooks. Has a wind guard which saves even more seed. Made of light weight exterior grade vinyl coated fiberglass mesh. The frame is of lightweight flexible tempered steel wire that can be twist folded & collapsed to 1/3 its expanded size for easy storage. The sleeve is made of exterior grade polyester. Makes it possible for those in an apartment to still feed the birds. Provides another feeding level for birds like Cardinals and Juncos, so seed not going to waste/

Review: Does work but strong winds can blow it so seed spill out. Heavy FISHING SINKERS attached to the hooks can prevent that as well as just a heavy object on the mesh. Comes with a storage sleeve. My condo neighbor below complained she was not getting as many birds since I put it in use! So even the SMALLEST one does keep well over the 90% of the seeds off the ground. I would suspect the larger ones would keep close to 100% of the seeds from falling to the ground.

Would recommend both the feeder & seed hoop. Never seen any rodents since it was place in use! Shown is the SMALL 16" hoop, also comes in 24" & 30" that have 6 cords to hang it.
