The Twinkle Star Wild Bird Feeder is an effective yet affordably-priced option for feeding small birds. And while the feeder itself is squirrel-proof, seeds can sometimes spill out the holes and bottom, attracting squirrels to the ground below it.įeeder Type: Tube | Material: Plastic, metal | Dimensions: 5.5 x 5.5 x 24 inches | Weight: 2.7 pounds | Capacity: 3.4 pounds | Number of Ports: 6 However, our tester reports that it brings in plenty of smaller finches and chickadee-type birds. Due to its small perches and feeding ports, it likely won’t bring in larger birds. There are a few drawbacks to this otherwise stellar performer. To top it all off, the parts are chew-proof to prevent squirrels from doing damage and forcing their way inside. However, we did experience some spillage, so make sure you do your filling somewhere you don’t mind stray seed.” All of the pieces disassemble easily for thorough cleaning and maintenance. Our tester appreciated how easy the bird feeder was to fill and noted, “The included plastic funnel made loading seed into the tube easy simply slide the funnel into the top. It can be used with a variety of mixed seeds, but the manufacturer recommends using safflower or black oil sunflower seeds to attract more birds. This bird feeder holds up to 3.4 pounds of seed and can be hung on a tree branch or stand, although hanging hardware is not included. As our tester noted, "The very active, early spring squirrels were sometimes able to climb out onto the feeder but, as designed, their body weight pulled the metal frame down, blocking the holes and preventing feeding." However, this bird feeder is not just for show! When a squirrel climbs onto it, the weight activated-shroud blocks access to the feeding ports. It’s encased in a green metal cage that features decorative leaves on all sides. The tube-style feeder is rectangular in shape and made of UV-resistant plastic for optimal durability.
In addition to being squirrel-proof, the Brome Wild Bird Feeder makes an attractive addition to any backyard, earning our top spot on this list. The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
