Plus the squirrels have learned to pull them out and let the seed fall to the ground. I don't recommend buying this if there is even a slight chance a squirrel can get to it. The ports are plastic and I think they like the taste of them. I have had to replace the ports, through the maker, 3 times now. If the maker could desing the ports out of metal, this would be a great feeder.
I recently purchased two of these feeders to replace two others that were destroyed by a black bear. Similiar feeders are twice the price. This feeder is well made and a really good buy. I highly recommend it.
If squirrels hadn't completely chewed up this feeder, I'd return it and demand my money back. The only thing that could make this feeder squirrel proof is if someone sat underneath it with a pellet gun.
I intended to hang the the feeder, so the loss of the pole was inconsequental for me. Bird feeder was delivered as advertised. Bird feeder was itself was not damaged, but there was a hole in the bottom of shipping carton. The the mounting pole was not in the box; it was probably lost through the hole. I am pleased with the purchase.
Not squirel proof. I expected this feeder to be made of heavy copper. Instead it is made of plastic that is copper colored. It is flimsy and the squirels broke the bottom off of it right away. I have put the bottom back on and I am still using it until it totally falls apart.
