Best of the Best for Goldfinch Feeding
By Rachel on Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2016
To think of all the money I have spent over the years on other Goldfinch feeders and seed, that was all wasted. I practically gave up on this type of seed feeder because they never last. Until now! This is the best Goldfinch feeder ever! It is thinner than I imagined, which is good because larger ones seem to allow the seed to rot if it gets wet or stays there too long. This thin, tall, sturdy mesh feeder keeps the perfect amount of seed. I don't feel that I need to fill it too often, yet there is no sign of the seed getting wet or sitting too long.I have the feeder near my kitchen window. There used to be a sunflower seed feeder in this spot, which was frequently visited by squirrels (and birds). This new feeder is not attracting squirrels. Perhaps they don't bother with the finch seed because there are other feeders in the garden with sunflower seeds.I am entertained daily by the beautiful Goldfinches. The feeder is attractive and allows the birds to hold on easily and eat. I would recommend this feeder as one of my best ever, including the expensive ones. This is about as good as I can imagine a feeder can be.

Not Well Made
By dougsdeck on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019
I use this thistle seed dispenser almost daily to feed the wild goldfinches in my front yard sycamore tree -- the birds love that food. This feeder, however, is not that well made: even the thistle seeds get hung up in its odd design and the top lid neither fits well nor is easy to slip off (Initially, I had to add Liquid Wrench just to release it and bend each slide open more to allow the lid to turn) -- it also seems designed wrong because you have to twist it clockwise to unlock it, which is bassackwards from the way in which you would usually unscrew things. I do like, however, that it does have a lid and lower perch platform, but I'd never buy another one of this design.
