My second one - a good thing!
This is my second whipper feeder. I have had my first one for over a year and it has lasted through a Minnesota winter and humid summer. It has survived raccoons, squirrels, and wild turkeys. The turkey and raccoon problems occurred because I had it too close to my deck rail and I didn't have a raccoon baffle on the pole. I have since built my own simple steel pole setup using some angle iron, 1 1/4 & 1 inch steel pipe, and two Droll Yankees curved hooks.
I have not had one red or gray squirrel break into the feeder or figure out a way to hang on to the feed holes as some reviewers have stated. I have approximately 20 squirrels hanging around my yard. This feeder is extremely durable, user friendly, and has solved my squirrel problems. That is why I ordered a second one to replace another tube feeder.
I highly recommend having a raccoon baffle especially if they are a problem in your area. Cardinals, Grosbeaks, and Finches use the feeder without a problem.
