This feeder has now been 4 weeks in use. I have it plugged into a broom handle, the previously hammered approximately 30 cm into the ground. As already testified other Rezenden, the birdhouse is rarely served by the birds even in our garden. For comparison, now I have right next to the bird feeder made of wood, about 10cm edge length and 40cm superscript with 5 feed troughs that are picked every night empty. This should actually be replaced by the gardiso because at the wooden feed the poor nachrutscht. I suspect that the birds prefer to sit on small rods while eating and not as in gardiso on a plastic edge. M Going to some thin poles attach to Fly To. Addendum of 20 May 15: Unfortunately this Futerhaus is still not accepted by the birds. But both are next to each other only when the wood is really something going on.
