Esschert Design Acorn Bird Feeder

The set is versatile. The mesh feeder is designed for larger seeds like peanuts and sunflower seeds, while the silo feeder works well with mixed seeds, sunflower kernels, and cracked corn.

The silo feeder features a metal cage surrounding the tube, which is designed to deter squirrels and larger birds from accessing the seed. While it effectively blocks squirrels, it may not be 100% impenetrable against highly determined pests.

Both feeders feature removable caps at the top, allowing for easy access to the interior for refilling. The simple design also makes it straightforward to empty and rinse them out when it's time for a cleaning.

While they are crafted from durable metal and plastic, they are not specifically rated as weather-resistant. It is recommended to place them in a somewhat sheltered area to prolong their lifespan and keep the seed dry.

This set is great for attracting a variety of common backyard visitors, including finches, cardinals, and chickadees, thanks to the different feeding styles offered by the mesh and silo designs.
