Review: Nice birdfeeder, indeed. . .but not so much for larger perching birds - I live in a cooler climate (evergreen forest with brutally cold winters), and, for me, wire mesh feeders are my preferred choice for late Fall and Winter feeding, which is when I mostly feed our local feathered community. The birds that mainly occupy my area in winter are nuthatches and woodpeckers (tree clinging birds) along with an abundance of gray and blue jays and chickadees (perching birds). Nuthatches love feeders such as this and will flock to them, much more so than other types. The woodpeckers in my area, though, aren't all that thrilled about eating sunflower seeds--prefer suet--but will occasionally visit this feeder. As for most perching birds in our area, they do NOT favor wire mesh feeders such as this, where there are no good perching stations. The only exception would be the little chickadee. Even though chickadees are classified as perching birds, they can still cling easily enough to the sides, and don't seem to mind doing so. This feeder does have a "perching tray," but since it is so small, only juts out a little ways from the base, it merely functions as a seed catcher. Only smaller birds are able to make use of it. For me, though, that is not a negative issue, but actually is a good thing. . . What I really like about this feeder is that it is not blue jay friendly. Of all the birds that inhabit my yard, this is one species I am not all that thrilled with. They may be considered smart, which most birds in the corvid family are, and some people welcome their vibrant bluish color, but, to me, they are more often than not a gang of lazy, obnoxious, hoarding and bullying birds which will sometimes kills smaller birds if within reach. With a typical wooden feeder where a bird can perch easily, the blue jays in my area (up to a dozen or more) would empty such a feeder in a matter of hours. . .and during that time, the other birds would get very little seed--if any; and if they tried, the blue jays often would attack them. With this feeder, though, the blue jays cannot easily stuff their faces and thus maraud and horde the seed. Getting seed out of this feeder takes a bit more work than what they seem to care for, and so will often go elsewhere to find easier pickings. They will occasionally stop by and grab some seed. . .but nowhere as much compared to a feeder which allows a bird of this size to perch easily. As for the feeder itself: it seems well constructed, and it holds a lot of seed. I have a couple other feeders of similar design, but none of them are as big as this. For a longest time, I wanted a larger capacity wire mesh feeder, and now I have one. Some have mentioned in their reviews that they had trouble opening and filling this feeder and that the top screw will probably strip in a short time. I have never had trouble opening mine. With mine, it takes only about 10 seconds to unscrew the top and was never difficult, not even from the get-go. With those who had trouble, I guess it is possible some received a defective one or one that had been overly tightened at the factory and/or the top screw became fused to the lid because of an over zealous paint job. And as for the screw on top stripping like some expressed concern about. . .I've had other feeders with a similar design, and I've filled them hundreds of times with no such issues. . .so that should not be a concern with this feeder either. Neither have I ever had an issue with the feeder unscrewing while hanging. After looking more closely at my feeder and what other reviewers mentioned about their feeder becoming unscrewed--usually by a squirrel--I think the manufacturer made some slight changes to this feeder so it does not unscrew as easily. I guess I might have just been lucky, too :) Another issue some people complained about was that the birds couldn't remove the seed from this feeder. I only use black oil sunflower seeds, and the birds never had trouble removing them. I've even tested the feeder myself, and the seeds easily fit through the wire mesh. With those who stated that seed would not fit through the wire mesh. . .maybe that was because the larger, stripped sunflower seeds were being used. . .or that these people had some over-sized, mutant black oil sunflower seed. Your typical black oil sunflower seed SHOULD work well with this feeder, but if it doesn't, I would suggest trying a different brand of seed. And finally for those reviewers who said no birds would come to their feeders, maybe it was due to the fact these people have mostly larger perching birds in their area, or. . .perhaps, have seeds that have gone bad. Sunflower seeds can go bad quickly if stored in a damp environment that doesn't get any air circulation, and when they go bad. . .birds will not touch them. One more thing I should add. . .if you are wondering if this is squirrel-proof, no, it is not. The multitude of red squirrels we have frequent this feeder and often; but given the size of the feeder, even with one of those noisy, funny fur balls on it (usually hanging upside down), there is still plenty of room for the birds to get at the seed. I do really do like this feeder: it's size, function, construction and appearance. If you have tree clinging birds, this feeder should be a welcome addition to your feeding arsenal; but if you are looking for a feeder that will make your larger perching birds happy, it might be wise to look elsewhere. For me. . . this a five star product.
Review: EXCELLENT FEEDER; ATTRACTS NUMEROUS BIRDS ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY - I have had numerous feeders over the years. This The Stokes Select Bird Feeder (38170) looks very nice, is extremely well built, and is very durable. Despite what some of the reviews have said, I have found it easy to fill and hang. It has never "come apart" or fallen off the hanger during the most fiercest of storms. I have six various types of feeders in my backyard, and this feeder keeps the seed drier than any of the other feeders. It always has numerous gold finches, house finches, cardinals, and titmice on it with occasional mourning doves and woodpeckers. Despite numerous birds being on it throughout the majority of the day, I do not have to fill it for at least 5 days. I am considering replacing one of my feeders with a The Stokes Select Bird Feeder (38170) as this company makes quality products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best bird feeder ever
*by L***J on March 5, 2011*

The Stokes Select Bird Feeder (38170) is the best bird feeder we have ever had. We went through countless feeders, and finally found the right one. If hung away from trees and hung by wire, it is virtually squirrel proof. It holds a lot of seed, and is very easy to fill. Best of all, cardinals (which seem to be the hardest to feed) love it. Many feeders' logos say they are for cardinals as well, but we have never found one till now. We have had as many as 36 male cardinals in our surrounding trees at one time waiting to feed. It is very well built.
