Feeder test: Lucky Pop

This feeder has been sent to me recently too. It is by the company Lucky Pop (which is how you can find it on Amazon). I wasn’t really sure where to place it at first but I found the perfect spot today on my main feeder pole. It has several good features. Apart from being sturdy and looking clean and green, it can potentially hold a huge amount of seed. You can vary the size because it has a retractable shrout that gets fixed into place with a needle (you can see it in the first two photos). The perches can be pulled out but I feel like they will not stay in place, so if I wanted to use them, I would probably tape them in a fixed position from underneath. The little “trough” without the perches is perfect for smaller birds though, and that is exactly why I am using it right now. It fills from the top, and the lid gets fixed by a screw. They market it as squirrel-proof but I am not sure I see how that works so I would not recommend to hang it anywhere where they can access if you don’t want that. Another plus is the relatively low price.
