Droll Yankees Dipper 21in Bird Feeder

I had heard/read so many wonderful accolades for Droll Yankee Bird Feeders, I was excited to get this product. I have been through many bird feeders and paraphernalia that I thought I could pick a winner. NOT THE CASE. The holes on this birdfeeder are way too big. You won't have to worry about the squirrels climbing up to get seed, because all the seed is on the ground. As I watched birds eat from this, I could see lots of bird seed falling out at the same time. I filled it up in the morning, and by mid-afternoon it was almost empty! And there had been no squirrels on the contraption. Also the doves figured out how to hang on to get to the seed. As one other reviewer wrote, hanging it up presents it's own set of problems, as you have to raise it almost parallel to the ground. So you have a pile of birdseed on the ground long before you even get started! It seems very durable, but I bought a bird feeder to save the birdseed for the birds, and this has wasted more than all the squirrels put together!
