Best Finch Feeder Ever! No doves!
By VacMaster1991 on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2023
Want to feed finches but not doves and pigeons?Then the Droll Yankees Onyx Finch Magnet is the feeder for you! The lack of perches means large hog birds can't eat from this feeder, leaving the finches to eat in peace. I have seen 11 birds at once on my 18 inch model. I have tried 3 different mixes in it. Regular nyjer, wild delight special finch and kaytee ultra finch. All work great. The build quality is excellent, no flex in the rock solid metal tube. My favorite feature though is the ease of cleaning. I usually clean the feeder every time it's empty. Or once every 5 days to a week. I am able to clean and dry the feeder in less than 10 minutes because it's mesh. I use disinfectant and a soft wool car rim brush to remove loose seed and droppings from the feeder. Then dry it with a leaf blower and microfiber cloth. It's very reasonably priced for the quality, made in USA too! I have two of them now because I liked the first one so much. Overall best Finch Feeder available.

Birds Do Not Eat From This!
By Kelly Kovacs on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2023
Loved the look and the promise of ease. Trusted the Wirecutter review in NYT. Don't. We put this feeder up when we got it in late April. Filled it with nyjer seed. Waited... No birds. The seed has merely settled down about a third of the way. No seeds on the ground underneath it. Thought it was the lack of birds from the early spring season at first. Then we thought that maybe there was a protective plastic tube from the mailing on the inside. Nope. Occasionally we will see a finch sit on the mesh and then get very confused--because they cannot get to the seed. The holes seemed too small, but we were trying to be patient. Now our window to return this useless piece has closed. So disappointed. On the other hand, a MUCH less expensive finch feeder is doing a very brisk business in our garden, so the nyjer seed is getting used up.
