Gardman Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Fat Snax Bird Feeder, Natural, A01822,2.8 kg

Bought one of these bird feeders near end of April 25, just right for the birds, so have bought another one.It is the most sturdy feeder that I have bought so far and it is the first one that has a very sturdy "bottom" that is very easy to remove for cleaning.Recommend this product.

I needed to get a feeder which the Starlings wouldn't rinse and this works really well. Younger starlings have a go and can just about reach the fat balls, but they can't really tuck in. The adults try all the angles, but fail.After a couple of days, smaller birds grew in confidence and started feeding normally, which is great.People have mentioned in the reviews for this product that Starlings are in decline, so I've continued to put fat balls in my existing feeder, which I've positioned away from this new feeder. It means they don't bully the smaller birds.One slight negative - the lid is a bit fiddly. It's a very simple design, but not brilliantly made. It's still a great product however and well worth the 30 quid.

Good quality and good for the feathered customers, squirrels not at all happy about it..... which was the plan.

A really sturdy bird feeder. Is already feeding the birds and keeping the squirrels out. Delivered on time and at a very good price. A pleasure to do business with a seller that does everything they promised.

I spent a long time trying to find a matching pair of fat and peanut feeders... From the descriptions provided of the 2 I settled on, they did not match and were from different Sellers and manufacturers. This one too does not weigh 2.8kg as described but is nonetheless heavy duty. Well, I am pleased to say that aside from the different tubes inside of these two, they are identical in colour, construction, effectiveness including the lid and top mechanisms which on the face of it look simple to affix but which in reality aren't that straight forward. However, once on and the feeders full, the lids remain closed and firmly in place. As with all things for outside use, they are subject to the elements but I have spent hundreds of pounds on feeders of all varieties over the years and these are the best yet. The added bonuses: 1) The little birds started taking to them within a day. 2) The squirrels, crows and magpies which used their ingenuity to sabotage all previous feeders and scare off the little birds, are no longer able to do so. I'm not cruel so fee this lot on the ground with electronic 'cat scarers' throughout the garden. 3) If you want joy, real joy added to your daily life - I would recommend these without hesitation! This is the matching peanut feeder also available from Amazon: Deluxe Heavy Duty Squirrel Proof Hanging Wild Bird Peanut Feeder (sorry, won't allow me to post the link). Enjoy!

This is a very sturdy feeder but a total waste of moneyWithin 30mins of filling it the food was gone and all over the floor.The holes are to big so food falls out and the birds throw it all on the floor

Easy to open and fill. Good quality metal too and bottom and strong Perspex tube.

I bought 4 of these Gardman Bird Feeders (various types) but all the same design in the Black Metal. I've never been so disappointed in something I paid over and above what I really needed to pay. However, I wanted them to look good and all match. They do match - THEY'RE ALL RUBBISH! THE FEEDING HOLES DON'T LINE UP WITH THE PERCHES. So what are the birds meant to do? The body of the large one is constantly falling off and spilling contents all over my lawn. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH, don't waste your money.
