These look great and the birds love it. I have watched many birds pecking at the peanuts we put in them: Downy Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Hairy Woodpeckers, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Rose Breasted Grosbeak.

Stem is poorly designed. Weak connection between top half and bottom half. I use duct tape to attach top half (bird feeder) to tall garden stake. Fill bird feeder with black sunflower seeds. Birds love it.

Awesome accent to your garden and fun to watch the songbirds feed from the cattail feeder. However, they are difficult to fill because the bar inside that holds the lid in place limits the pouring space. I had to invent an attachment for filling the feeder, but using a TP roll and cutting two grooves that match the middle bar. This creates a cylinder pours spaces so the seeds do not fall or jam from hitting the center bar. Seeds do still fall out from the wires as you fill them, there is no way to prevent that fact. Squirrels also can reach up easily to eat from them. They will chew the lower wires and create a larger opening, therefore I have had to patch them a few times. Over all they look great and the birds do love them as do the squirrels!

Like the look of these around my pond, but had to remake them to be able to use thistle seed in to attact the yellow finch. I put a cloth mesh bag insided each cattail so I could use my smaller seeds.

Birds love it, especially goldfinches and cardinals. Best if feeder is tilted slightly, rather than straight up.

Black oil sunflower seeds work best. I cup my hand around opening and pour seeds into feeder from plastic cup. OK if a few seeds fall to ground.

Screw-in base is weak and poorly designed. Thus, I don't use it. Instead, I use duct tape to attach the feeder section to 6-ft green garden stake. Birds prefer taller feeder, and it discourages most squirrels and chipmunks. However, occasional raccoon will bend pole over.

These feeders are really cute, and the birds love them, especially the goldfinches.Unfortunately, they are the right height for raccoons, which bend these feeders over with their weight. Squirrels love these feeders, also.

This is our second set of feeders. I love the way they look, but unfortunately they are not squirrel-proof or javelina-proof. Our first set had leaves broken off and eventually the top/feeder. Possibly could have sautered but like them so much I merely bought another set.

The three cattails look great under out mulched pine trees and are very attractive both in looks and for the birds

They look nice, but they are very hard to fill with bird seed. I had them up for about 24 hrs before the squirrels knocked them over and ate all the bird seed. I don't think you can stop this from happening??? They were also somewhat flimsy near the joint where they had to be screwed together. [*]
