I bought these for my bird watching Parents. They have them scattered around their yard. They attract tons of birds and the chipmunks like to crawl inside them when you leave the lids off.

The squirrels keep stealing the lids, so I started leaving the lids off. Now the smaller birds fly right inside and grab what they want before hopping back out and flying away. They are sturdy and have lasted outside in all kinds of weather.

Want birds?? These will bring them in.

These wern't hanging more than 20 minutes when the gold finches found them. Bought several sets to share with friends. A great inexpensive gift. Had fun watching the big redwing blackbirds swinging around getting their sunflower seeds.

Comments about Mini-Globe Feeders, Set of 3:

The birds certainly liked the feeders. It allowed them to choose the seeds they liked best out of a mix, while keeping most of the seeds they didn't like in the ball (and that changed constantly--one week we didn't like peanuts, another week we didn't like striped sunflower...)

Comments about Mini-Globe Feeders, Set of 3:

Love these little feeders! They add a cute pop of color and little birds love them. I have noticed the chickadees especially love them! However, be on notice (1) that the squirrels love them too! I swear mine have figured out how to actually open them! and (2) don't do like I did and place them in all-day-sun...they will fade. But otherwise, love them!

LOVE THESE! Great teacher gifts!!!

Comments about Mini-Globe Feeders, Set of 3:

I bought about ten sets of these last Christmas, split up the set into 3 individual gifts. I put a decorative ribbon on the top, filled them with black oil sunflower seeds, and presented them to my kids' teachers as well as my friends. Made a very cute, economical gift that was appreciated by the recipients. My neighbors always stop to ask where I got mine! I plan to purchase more of them this year.

Small birds love these feeders.

You can only use larger seeds like sunflower seeds. The birds love them. I loved all the little feeding areas in one tree. I have had as many as 4 or 5 different types of birds in one tree at a time.

The only catch I see with these is the color fading after being out in the sun for a season. But I like to leave them on the tree - almost look like Christmas decorations!
