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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Where The Teeth Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lid Opens Wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Comes Apart To Be Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized For The Small Ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43305218998349,"sku":"WL-BIRDMTL","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/de6f240c65c2ff7cdf1b71472754c37f.png?v=1784957051","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/bird-feeder-with-six-metal-ports-13-inch-tube-metal-lid-and-base","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
