Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

This sunflower is perfect in our yard! It is sturdy and the birds love it. It looks so pretty in the middle of my flower bed. I purchased two - one for the front yard and one for the back. I will probably store them during the winter - its pretty snowy and cold here in Utah.

I like it but birds are confused.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

I really like the look of my sunflower. It looks very cool catching the sunlight in the morning. As a feeder it may not be the best choice but I may try some different seed options.

Woodpeckers love it

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

I filled it with a large seed mix-- sunflower, peanuts, squash seeds, and corn. The corn is too big to go through the wire mesh, but is easy to dump out the back opening. Cracked corn would probably work. The woodpeckers and chickadees love it.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

At first, I placed this in a new spot in my garden, where I didn't have feeders before. After no birds came to check it out, I moved it closer to some other feeders, but it still is not attracting much attention. It's attractive enough to my eye -just not what the birds are looking for, I guess.

Very attractive and adds to the garden as a decorative piece. Glad I bought it; however, not very practical as a feeder. Rarely see it in use. I've had for a month and not yet needed to refill.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

This was a nice addition to our "bird friendly yard." The finches really like it. We used to plant giant sunflowers, this is easier. I doubt if the filler door will last another year. Even if it breaks, I'll still have a smiling sunflower to greet me every day.

This is lots of fun to watch, great buy

Nice yard accent but ......

By Hey Teach!

Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

Great yard accent which unfortunately can only contain sunflower seed attractive to squirrels and larger birds. Had to empty it of seed and anchor it to a wall in a protected corner to prevent its destruction from excessive weight on the sunflower head. Hope the winter & Colorado mountain snows are not too much for it!

Stunning to the garden!

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

This bird feeder attracts so many finches that they are sitting all over the flower, petals, leaves, etc. that it gets a little top heavy. So I just make sure it is in the ground deep enough to prevent this. The copper color looks great in any of my flower beds. The only problem I see so far is that I am going to have to buy more.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

The sunflower feeder is attractive. It doesn't get as much bird use as the cattail-shaped feeders in my yard: less room to perch and feed. The "flower head" tends to swing around in the wind, dropping seed for ground feeding birds and generating live sunflowers, multiplying the pretty additions to my garden.

I love this whimsical bird feeder!

The best thing about it is the look, copper plus a flower, love that. I use it as an extra bird feeder. I actually haven't seen any birds use it so that is a negative. I put in black sunflower seeds so it looks like the center of a sunflower.
Would definiely purchase it as a gift too.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

When I opened the box it was shipped in I was slightly let down. The item looked as if it was shipped with still wet paint. The paint was smudged and peeling off of the petals. I guess it is supposed to weather outside, but I still thought it would look sharp for some time. On a better note, the birds love it. I have to refill it several times a day.

Comments about Sunflower Feeder:

This is a great bird feeder. It took a while for the birds to find it, and I moved it around several times to find the perfect spot, but now the birds love it. The seeds do fall out and on the ground easily, so put it some place you don't mind having messy seeds around.
