Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This feeder is very attractive and looks good in a garden area. Birds are attracted to it and can easily feed off the seeds. It is very difficult to fill- top of cattail has a metal piece across the top and seeds spill to the ground no matter how careful you try to be.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
THIS IS A GOOD FEEDER TO LOOK AT OUTSIDE FROM A LOW WINDOW .
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I have purchased for myself, received as a gift and given as a gift. It is a great gift for that hard to shop for person or any garden or bird lover. I love to have 3 at a time because they add a nice touch to my yard even when there is no seed in them. However when they are full the variety of birds attracted is wonderful.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT AGAIN , HOWEVER , IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AVAILABLE ANY LONGER ?
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I add red or yellow plastic gems to mine rather than bird seed. Use it as attractive deocr to my garden area year round. The red helps to attract hummingbirds; makes garden area pretty even with snow on the ground.

Comments about Cattail Feeder:
We have given this feeder every chance in our climate (mid-Michigan). We've gone through 4 of them now and they all did the same thing. The lower cup is brazed or welded to the "stem" of the cattail. There is no way for moisture to escape and therefore the seeds in the lower cup become soggy and retain moisture, which is held against the weld at the bottom of the cup. The cup and the weld rust out and the cattail head falls off. VERY POOR DESIGN IN MY MIND. I could never recommend this feeder unless you like to replace them frequently.

Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Absolutely adorable addition to my garden, and the chickadees flock to it. For those who complain that birdseed spills out of the wire mesh: read the label! It says SUNFLOWER SEED. For those who think birds can't figure out how to use it because there's no perch: it's made for clinging birds! Pros: cute as can be, great garden ornament, clinging type sunflower seed eaters love it. Cons: needs to be driven into soft soil, seed capacity is only a cup or two, not super easy to fill (although I use a cut off milk jug for a funnel and that helps.) The only real drawback is that it is so short that the birds become targets for cats. This is a great gift idea and I intend to purchase several for Christmas presents this year.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
It looks so cute in the garden. It adds the right whimsical touch. The birds love it & empty it way too often!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Love it...I get many complements!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This bird feeder is very cute. I put it in my flower bed as a decoration and it is very attractive there. I had to fill it with sunflower seeds because the other seed types were too small for the holes. Unfortunately, I can't get any birds to eat out of it. They don't seem to understand how to get the food out, possibly because there is no perch for them to rest on. I think the idea must be for them to perch themselves on the wire mesh holes, but they don't seem to be able to figure that out.
As a decorative item, I think the birdfeeder is a great product. As a birdfeeder, I don't think I will get much use out of it.
I also agree with the earlier comments that the feeder is very hard to fill with seed. I spilled more on the ground that I actually got inside the feeder.

Gave as a gift, to a finicky yard ornament person. He liked it!

Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Although I bought more of these, they are not the best quality and not easy to fill with bird seed. The top unscrews, but there is a bar that obstructs seeds from being filled easily. I would buy this again because they are an attractive addition to my "yard art" and bird feeders.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I love the way they attract the birds, but wish they were taller.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Fits into the landscape with out being obtrusive
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I gave this product to a friend for her birthday. She had never seen one like it and liked it very much. It can go in the ground or in a pot on her deck.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
It looks great and the birds like it, but I wish it were made in the USA. I wish there was more decor made from recycled goods.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
When I pushed it into the flower bed, the top buckled and bent. It won't take much more pressure and the top will break right off. Disappointing as it's as cute as can be.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This product is made to use with sunflower seeds, but many of the seeds fall right through the mesh.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
They are very pretty but not practical.
The leaves are flimsy and bend very easy and are very sharp. Hard to fill and the oil sunflower seeds fall out with the slightest touch.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Bought this item as a Father's Day present and Dad loves it! Easy to put together and is especially beautiful positioned by their water feature. The birds flock to it! Just lovely . . .
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
It was a gift to my adult daughter and her friends want one too.
She likes it because it is unique and very well made.

Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Very nice to look at as a garden decoration. A little annoying to place seed into it. It is a perfect squirrel feeder. they are able to latch onto the grid with all their feet and have a feast. Birds can not get near them. If you like them as a decoration, go for it. If you want to feed the birds, steer clear.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
It took the birds a while to get used to the new object, but they love it now and it is the first feeder that they eat from. Attractive, nice addition to the edge of the garden.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This is only good for large-size seed. Anything small, like thistle, will spill out.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This feeder looks great in the bird sanctuary.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Okay, I'm disappointed in this. The squirrels had a "hay day" with this! They stood on the "leaf stalks" and bent them. They ate all the seed in less than 2 hours.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I have not actually used this yet, since I am waiting for spring. However, when I opened the box I was very impressed by how well-made it is. It is very sturdy, not at all flimsy or light-weight. One or more would make a lovely gift.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Made a wonderful gift for my grandmother who is a bird lover and a gardener!!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This is a very attractive product and is drawing in several types of birds that had not come to our garden before.
Wish I had gotten several!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
beautiful gift
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Product description says to put thistle seed in; do you know how tiny thistle seed is: it ALL dropped on the ground. So much for functional. Looks nice in garden though. I was going to buy 3, am sure glad I only got 1 instead.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
The divider across the top that you screw the top on makes it hard to add bird seed.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Looks nice paired w/cattail solar lights. Seed falls out too fast.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Have been pleasantly surprised how such a simple inexpensive product has held up and has been resistant to squirrels. Looks good in natural garden setting.

Natural look to attract birds to the garden

Love it, love it, love it....
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Our birds love this feeder. We got one for a gift several years ago and when we could no longer use it, we had to buy another one. I wish I had bought the 3 pack.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
The cattail feeders are a great addition to our koi pond. They look great and the red-winged blackbirds love them! Only problem: we'll probably have a bumper crop of sunflowers growing next to the pond. Oh well- we love sunflowers!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Holds a lot of seed. Great presence in the yard. Very attractive. The birds love it!

i really like the look of this feeder and the goldfinches went to it right away. however, it is hard to fill with black oil sunflower seed and the thistle falls right out.

Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Great for feeding birds if you can keep the squirrels away. I use it for feeding birds and for outside decoration.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
This was an unusual gift to give and was well-received! The birds like them and they look beautiful in the yard among tall grasses. They could use a forked stake for better stability. The seed makes them a bit top-heavy! But they sway nicely in a breeze.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I bought this for a gift for my mother. She wanted unusual pond decor and squirrel proof feeders. This fit the bill for both. And she loved it! There is nothing like finding the perfect Christmas gift.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Perfect ! I Love it as much as the birds do ! So stylish and practical too ! I wish I had bought three instead of one ! Bought it for a gift and kept it for myself!
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
It works okay but you spill alot of seed when you try to fill it up. The opening is small and divided.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
easy to set up blends in the yard. No drawbacks
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
I really like the idea of product but within a week the paint is chipping off. We live in Colorado so it wasn't because we were having a lot of rain.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Use it around our yard pond and fits in very nicely.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Our daughter just moved into a new house, and it had a small pond, the cattail feeder worked with the pond, but instead of seeds, she put the colored flower arranging rocks in it, so she has blue, green, yellow, and brown colors when the sun hits it.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
Love to watch the little creatures around the feeders. They put on quite a show.
Comments about Cattail Feeder:
VERY NICE LOOKING. NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE USED WHERE SQUIRRELS AND CHIPMUNKS ARE IN ABUNDANCE.
A NICE TOUCH IN ANY GARDEN SETTING.
