Look at a bird feeder that has been out for two winters and you can tell exactly where it failed. It is never the tube. It is the ports — the rims chewed soft and wide, or cracked off entirely, so the seed pours out of a hole nobody can feed from. This bird feeder makes all six ports metal, along with the lid and the base, and leaves plastic only where plastic is actually the better material for a bird feeder.

That plastic is the tube, and it is deliberately thick-walled. You want to see the seed, and clear metal does not exist, so the honest trade is a heavy-gauge tube between two metal ends. The base is metal with a rust-resistant finish, which is the part of the bird feeder that sits in whatever water runs down the outside all winter.

Six ports run down the tube in staggered pairs, each with its own metal perch, so several small birds can feed at once without standing over one another. At 1.4 inches the ports are small on purpose: finches, chickadees, sparrows and nuthatches get in, and the birds that clear a feeder in one visit do not. Chew-resistant is the right word for the metal, and the only word for it. There is no cage on this bird feeder and nothing closes under weight, so a squirrel can still sit on it; what the metal stops is the slow damage that ruins a bird feeder for good.

It holds 1.5 lb in a tube 13 inches tall and 2.5 inches across, about 6 inches wide at the perches. The lid opens wide so a scoop goes straight in from above with the feeder still hanging, and everything — ports, perches, lid, base — separates for washing, which is the difference between a bird feeder that gets cleaned and one that gets meant to be cleaned.

Hang it somewhere with clear air around it and a window in view. Sunflower or a mixed blend both run through the ports, and a bird feeder this size is a refill you do on your own schedule rather than every morning.

The ports fail first. So these are metal.

METAL ON ALL SIX

Metal Where The Teeth Land

The lid, the base and all six feeding ports are metal, and the ports are exactly where a chewed feeder gives out first. The base carries a rust-resistant finish; only the tube is plastic, and it is thick-walled on purpose.

FILL IT HANGING

The Lid Opens Wide

The metal lid lifts clear and stays up, so 1.5 lb of seed goes in from above without taking the feeder off its hook. Wide enough that a scoop fits rather than a funnel.

TAKES IT ALL APART

It Comes Apart To Be Washed

Ports, perches, lid and base all separate, so the tube rinses through and nothing keeps a damp layer in the bottom. Removable parts are the whole reason a feeder actually gets cleaned rather than topped up over the old seed.

SMALL BIRDS ONLY

Sized For The Small Ones

The ports are 1.4 inches, comfortable for a finch or a chickadee and awkward for anything much bigger. If larger birds have been emptying your feeder before lunch, this is what changes it.

Frequently asked
questions.

The questions people actually ask before buying one.

One. One of the manufacturer's own spec images is labelled as a twin set, but the item on sale here is a single feeder — we would rather flag that than let it surprise you.

No, and it is not sold as one. It is chew-resistant: metal lid, metal base and metal ports, which is what stops a squirrel widening a port and emptying the tube. There is no cage and nothing closes under weight. Hanging it clear of fences and branches does more than any feature on it.

1.5 lb. The tube is clear, so the level is readable from a window.

13 inches tall and about 6 inches across the perches; the tube itself is 2.5 inches in diameter.

Finches, goldfinches, chickadees, sparrows, titmice and nuthatches. The 1.4 inch ports are too small for the larger birds, which is deliberate.

Sunflower seed and mixed blends both run through the metal ports well.

The lid lifts up wide for filling with the feeder still hanging. For cleaning, the ports, perches, lid and base all come apart, so the tube rinses through properly. Let everything dry before refilling.
