The feeding ring for fat balls is ideal when a lot of birds can to eat for a place. With us in the garden, too, is brisk air traffic, but the dumplings are too much, if you completely filled the ring. Are too many dumplings in the ring and it's raining or snowing again, the dumplings mold logically the dumplings can fix, or they are black-red-greasy and eat the birds, not more. Now we have hung the ring on a covered space and filled with millet. I can only say ... "because it goes from now as in Schmidt's cat". They eat like crazy and somehow much better as before, where the fat balls were inside. The ring can be hang well and easily filled. Laying down the sink for cleaning and clean with normal washing-up liquid and allow to dry thoroughly. Subsequently, the ring can be refilled again. For dumplings we would prefer the smaller ring in the large variant we are very pleased with the foxtail millet filling.
