The design is ingenious but also one I've known about for decades, ever since my parents bought one of the first Hilarious feeders. The perch is spring-loaded, and when the weight exceeds the limit for it, the perch lowers and closes off access to the seeds with a metal piece. This newer version of the one it replaces has the weight limit notches facing the inner part of the feeder so that intelligent squirrels cannot pull it out of the slot -- I think that's why my last one failed. It also has a better tilt on the inside for force seeds into the hopper ports.
The roof opens by turning the cardinal on top a quarter turn and then by lifting off the entire roof. Because of the wide open top, it's extremely easy to fill. Getting the cardinal/interior latch in place can sometimes be a little tricky, but mostly works easily, as long as I don't move the cardinal's position after I lift off the galvanized roof.
Every part of this feeder is metal, which means that squirrels can't chew through it. It also keeps raccoons from getting the seed, although I have more of a issue with deer since I have mine hanging instead of pole mounted. The deer simply push it up with their heads to dump out the seed. When it comes to bears and super-light chipmunks, all bets are off.
The feeder comes with mounting hardware for poles. I hang mine from a hook screwed into a tree because my soil is too rocky to be able to easily sink a pole deep enough.
This feeder attracts a wide variety of songbirds. Since some, like cardinals, prefer hopper/tray style feeding rather than short-perch tubes, it allows them to feed while still discouraging squirrels. Other birds such as nuthatches and woodpeckers have a harder time. I keep a variety of feeders in my yard, and this one nicely supplements the others.
-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
All sorts of birds have found it and I have refilled it twice now.
I got it with the hope it would bring Cardinals to our yard but so far it has not.
It is squirrel proof as well as deer proof. I haven't seen either of those animals trying to get after it.
Overall it is a really nice feeder. It is very sturdy and a little heavy. So be sure you are using a heavy-duty shepherds hook or a hook that is firmly attached.
One tip: do not over-fill. It is large capacity and the food will remain in there for a very long time if it is completely filled to the top. Plus it'll just add to the weight.
I do recommend and hope Cardinals will eventually find it!
One issue… animals were able to disengage lever that closes access to the seeds when a certain weight is on the landing bar. The lever is adjustable… I try to keep it to lightest weight due to number of squirrels… and raccoons also— if I forget to bring feeder in early enough. That setting makes it harder for the heavier blue jays, flickers, and woodpeckers … but I offer them a suet or seed cake separately. I finally got a plastic covered wire and wrapped it around to hold lever to notch I’d chosen. This works very well to keep bigger animals from feasting on the seeds and quickly emptying the feeder! Baby squirrels still get access, larger ones find ways to hang from roof to avoid stepping on lever… but still, can’t easily get the seeds so holding the lever catch in highest notch with wire seems to eliminate enough access that the animals get discouraged, can’t empty the feeder as they did when they could disengage the lever. All in all… highly recommend this feeder! It’s a bit costlier than many, but totally worth it— esp if you have a lot of squirrels etc around…. And it’s so. Ice looking!
PS At night I store feeders in a waterproof plastic bin ( Plano brand), latches tight —raccoons can’t get lid open, but seems they’ve been trying & have now nearly chewed through heavy plastic by the latches trying to get in! Ah well! Raccoons are the biggest issue because they will scratch at the feeder, chew on the landing bar trying to get past it and scratched, chipped the paint on former model I had. Spray paint fixed that but now I just take feeders down at night. Ongoing battle. Hope you don’t have same problem… but if so, recommend taking feeder down. Big pain… but🤷🏻♀️big pleasure watching all the birds!

Das Dach hätte vorne etwas länger sein können. Die Schlitze sind ungeschützt und es empfehlt sich nicht, vor allem in der Regenzeit, das Häuschen mit geschälte Körner voll zu machen.
Ich würde es dennoch wieder kaufen. :o)
We have watched the squirrels try all sorts of ways to get the seeds - biting - swinging upside down - going different ways to no avail. They are still trying and top marks for their tenacity.
We have separated (by the use of cardboard) the inside of middle section and so have put in sunflower seeds, peanut bits and worms.
It took a couple of weeks for the birds to adjust to this new feeder. Now we see tits & robins use the feeder. Less frequently we have seen the sparrows go to the middle section for the worms but mainly they gather the seeds from the ground. Though they go to the feeders in the front garden all through the day.
Hopefully the sparrows will use this new feeder regularly.
Highly recommend this bird feeder - looks great - bought the poles - good value.
Recommend that the manufacturer divides the internal compartments into three so birds go to their preferred section.
