Most feeders decide for the birds. Six ports, six perches, and a nuthatch that wants to stand sideways while it works at a sunflower seed has to take it or leave it. This bird feeder does the opposite: it gives them a round open tray and lets them sort it out themselves.

The seed on this bird feeder sits in a clear tube under a wide bronze dome and feeds down into that tray as the birds work through it. There is no port to line up with and no perch to share, so a chickadee can land facing any direction, a junco can shuffle round the rim, and two or three small birds can eat at once without queueing on opposite sides of a cylinder. It is a livelier bird feeder to watch for exactly that reason.

An open-tray bird feeder has an honest downside and it is worth knowing before you order. Nothing about it excludes anybody: doves, grackles and jays can land on it as easily as a finch, and a squirrel that reaches it has the whole tray rather than a port. The roof and the tray are metal, which is the part that resists chewing, but this bird feeder is chew-resistant and no more than that and there is no cage and no weight mechanism on it. If you want everything in the garden fed, that openness is the appeal. If you are trying to keep the big birds off, a caged bird feeder is the better buy.

The raised lip around the tray does the quiet work. Seed that gets flicked sideways — and small birds flick a lot of it — hits the guardrail and stays where it can still be eaten, instead of ending up in the grass under the feeder. Less on the lawn, fewer refills, less of a mess to rake up in spring.

Filling it is the part you notice after a fortnight. Press the button on the roof, slide the roof up the steel cable and it locks there, holding itself open while you pour — the feeder stays hanging the whole time. That same cable has a locking catch further down, so you can set the height where you want it rather than where the branch happens to be. Taking the bird feeder apart to rinse is two steps and no tools.

The bird feeder is 7 inches tall and 6.7 inches across, so it reads as a small garden object rather than a piece of equipment. Hang the bird feeder where you can see it from a window, give the birds a few days to find it, and the tray does the rest.

METAL WHERE IT COUNTS

Metal On Top, Metal Underneath

The domed roof and the tray are metal and the seed tube is clear plastic, so the parts that take weather and teeth are the hard ones. The steel hanging cable carries a locking catch, which is what lets you set the height instead of accepting the branch's.

OPEN ALL THE WAY ROUND

An Open Tray, Not A Row Of Ports

There are no ports and no perches to line up with — birds land anywhere on the rim and face whichever way they like, so several can feed at once. The raised guardrail around the edge keeps flicked seed in the tray rather than on the lawn.

TWO STEPS, NO TOOLS

It Comes Apart To Be Cleaned

The roof lifts, the tube comes out and the tray separates, which takes about half a minute and no tools at all. An open tray collects damp seed faster than a closed tube does, so being able to rinse it properly matters more here than on most feeders.

RAIN, SUN OR SNOW

It Stays Out All Year

The dome is wider than the tray below it, so rain runs off past the seed and snow settles on the metal rather than in it. Nothing needs bringing inside when the weather turns.

Frequently asked
questions.

The questions people actually ask before buying one.

No. The roof and tray are metal, which resists chewing, but there is no cage and nothing closes under weight — a squirrel that reaches the tray can feed from it. If keeping squirrels off is the main thing you want, a caged or weight-activated feeder is the right choice instead.

An open tray suits most of the small birds that visit a garden — chickadees, juncos, house finches, goldfinches, nuthatches and cardinals all land on a flat rim happily. Bigger birds can use it too, because nothing here excludes them.

The seller does not publish a capacity, so we are not going to invent one. The clear tube is visible from every side, which in practice is the number that matters: you can see at a glance whether it needs topping up.

7 inches tall and 6.7 inches across. It is a small feeder — more of a garden ornament in scale than a hopper you fill once a month.

Press the button on the roof and slide the roof up the steel cable. It locks in the raised position and stays there while you pour, so the feeder never leaves the branch.

Yes. The steel cable has a locking mechanism, so you can shorten or lengthen it and the feeder holds at that height.

Two steps and no tools: the roof lifts off and the tube separates from the tray, so both rinse out properly. Let everything dry before refilling — an open tray holds moisture more readily than a closed tube, so this is worth doing regularly in wet weather.
