Actually, we had gained this birdhouse because a food storage is in the middle, so we do not have to refill every day new food. Unfortunately we had a few months notice that the impregnation of the cottage is insufficient, and the wood has drawn full of water. Therefore, the entire feed in the feed storage was wet, swollen and then blocked all food storage. So we use the memory now only when no rain is predicted. So we have the same a house can buy without a memory and then the middle part would at least not blocked by the memory. So do not buy recommendation for the house. Pity!
