Perky-Pet 399 Patented Upside Down Thistle Feeder
I noticed the comment on the squirrels eating through the feed tube and wanted to offer my experience. I have found two types of "finch" seed, one that is 100% thistle and another that is a mix with another tiny tan seed. I started with the 100% thistle and didn't have any issues with squirrels until i used the other mix--then the squirrels ate through the feeder in a day. the brand feeder i had had a replacement policy and i replaced the tube but didn't think about the seed, so the squirrels ate through it again. I repaired and switched back to the 100% thistle, and for a year now, I have not had any issues with squirrels. Squirrels will get into almost any feeder but luckily they don't like thistle, so stick with the 100% thistle seed in finch feeders and you should be able to keep it in great shape for years.
