The cobs do fall off easily, so don't buy at full price. They are very attractive on our fence. The regular food will not stay in these, but our birds like the sunflower seeds the best anyway.

Not well designed for a bird feeder. Hard to fill. I ended up putting colored marbles in it and used it as decoration instead. Would not recommend as a bird feeder, but makes great garden art as an alternative.

Nice feeder but the notches for the seed holders need to be cut different. The cobs fall off unless you cut a notch for the pins to rest in. Not hard to fix but you shouldn't have to.

Critter Theft :-)

Pros:

Easy To Set Up

Cons:

Unstable

Describe Yourself:

Budget Shopper

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I like the look and the potential. The "cobs" do not lock into the grooves which made it very easy for the squirrels to simply remove. Thankfully I was able to find all three of the empty cobs, though one was taken a good distance. With some crimping or duct tape I'll make it work :-)

Best Uses:

Fall, In The Lawn, Spring, Summer, Winter

Describe Yourself:

Budget Shopper

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I have had this feeder for about nine months; even though it is not squirrel proof and they can take it apart they can't chew it up like they have done with other "clinger" feeders I had. I put squirrel cakes or other feed in other parts of the yard and they leave the bird feeders alone for a few days. I did have to crimp the "holes" where the cobs attach to make the attachment a bit tighter - it foils the squirrels for another day or two. So far they have not run off with a cob, just leave it on the ground. I have had the best luck with black oil sunflower seed. The chickadees, titmice, and nuthatches love it when they get there first.

Probably the prettiest bird feeder I have ever seen for our type of landscaping, if only the holes were smaller, more like mesh, we could use it for smaller bird seed.

Needs a minor design change

By Loves the country

from Louisville, KY on 12/3/2008

Pros:

Attracts The Right Animals, Easy To Clean, Easy To Set Up

Cons:

Unstable

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I was thrilled when I got this and couldn't wait to hang it up on my mail box post. I really liked the looks of it. The chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and woodpeckers enjoy the seed but there is one problem - the "ears" screw on the base and they don't turn but maybe a half an inch. Consequently, they un-screw quite frequently so that I find the ears lying on the ground. Design correction would be that they turn and then lock.

Unique and natural looking but

By Radiant Red

from Cape Cod on 11/10/2008

Pros:

Attracts The Right Animals

Cons:

Unstable

Best Uses:

all seasons

Describe Yourself:

Budget Shopper

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

Unique and natural looking. The engineering is poor quality. Had to crimp the cob holders so cobs would stay in place. It took Yankee ingenuity to figure a way to fill the cobs without loss of seeds. However the looks get a 100 and practicality a 50. Without crimping the cob holders squirrels and birds would knock the cobs to the ground.

Attractive and Unique but Poorly Made

By Jeff

from Illinois on 8/18/2008

Pros:

Attracts The Right Animals

Cons:

Flimsy, Unstable

Best Uses:

Fall, In The Lawn, Winter

Describe Yourself:

High-End Shopper, Practical, Stylish

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

This is one attractive and unique birdfeeder. Unfortunately, it is not very well made and we had problems with it right out of the box. One of the mesh cobs did not fit well into the hanger portion of the feeder. So, we often had to literally force it to hold in there after filling with food. Over time, this caused the mesh section weld to break away from the ring that connects it to the hanger.One of the other mesh cobs had just the opposite problem. It fit much to loosely into the hanger. So, it would constantly just fall off on its own.[...]

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

Squirrels easily twisted the "cobs" off, scattering the seed/corn/peanuts inside. I had to drill holes through the tops of all three "cobs", put in two metal screws, to hold them on. So, every time I have to refill them, I have to use a screw gun to take them apart. This aside, they are by far very attractive feeders...the best I've seen in a while. Squirrels love them. I would recommend buying two: One for squirrels (corn, peanuts)and the other for birds (sunflower, safflower).

I have filled this feeder with dried corn and hung it on the gable peak of my potting shed - mostly for ornamentation, but it also draws that magpies away from feeders meant for smaller birds.

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I hung this against a fence - a great help in keeping it sturdy. The birds and squirrels seem to love it but the "ears" tend to fall off easily, frightening the birds and allowing the seed to fall into the flowerbed. The doves usually clean it up for me though!

A three for all

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I just love the product, but no matter where I put the item, the squirrls can take the cob containers off the base. I have had to search my yard a couple of times to locate the cob seed holders. it would be good if there was some sort of latch to secure the cob seed holder to the base unit.

Looks are great but...

Comments about Corn Cob Feeder:

I love the looks of this feeder...and so do the birds. However, the corn cobs fall off easily and I do not know if it is the weight & movement of the birds twisting them off if they just don't twist on tight enough.
