Con No protection against squirrels
There are no trap doors, hinges or anything else that protects the seeds from squirrels so the only way to protect against them is to put the feeder in a way that the squirrels can’t reach the bird feeder jumping or climbing.
Con Small capacity
The feeder can hold approximately 1.3 pounds of seeds. If you have lot of birds in your garden expect to refill the feeder almost every second day.
Con Large seeds can get stuck
Large sunflower seeds or different nuts can get stuck in the feeder so it's advised to use small seeds such s back sunflower seeds to feed the birds.
