Its very good quality and didn't take the birds long to find it, but doesn't keep the starlings away. Sparrows and blue tits haven't got much chance tho' unless my yorkie goes out and chases starlings away!

I have given 3 stars only because we purchased this to stop the Rooks stealing all the little birds food and as the feeder was really designed to deter squirrels we are unable to comment about this as they are not our problem. As it stands it will not deter persistent determined Rooks with their long beaks, they carried on scoffing the lot! But with another layer of 2" welded mesh added around the base it has stuffed them!!!! Seems they have now gone elsewhere hopefully for easier pickings as none seen on bird feeder over the last 2 days!!! That's not to say that the crafty big buggers are not sitting in a tree somewhere close trying to fathom out how to get around the new fortifications!!!

The cage does stop the magpies and squirrels getting to the fat balls. However the balls I use are "Peckish Extra Goodness" which are fragile and break-up and fall through the hoops on the inner cage! I needs a mesh, like for peanuts not hoops! I have had to install a mesh inside to stop this happening. The long-tailed tits are enjoying it now very much. I have also installed rain guards as well as the mesh.

We purchased this fat ball feeder as we are plagued by squirrels after the bird food. Sadly, the gap between the outer bars is too wide. Our squirrels can squeeze their heads in far enough to get at the fat balls. Not what we were expecting - disappointing!

A good looking product looking well made and the smaller birds are crowding into it. Also the squirrel is annoyed as he's having to look elsewhere.
