I had been looking for a while after a feeding station. Most convinced me because of the rods, holes etc. not. Due to the in comparison to many other feeding stations so quite high price I had thought longer before I then but me - have decided that feeding station Big Tower of Erdtmanns to order - also based on the positive reviews. (Since I had outside of Amazon a reputable supplier with a significantly lower price is found, unfortunately this time not on Amazon.) The feeding station made directly a stable and sophisticated look at delivery. After the first filling and hanging (at a large (1,85m) Shepherd Stock hook holder, what works well), it took almost 24 hours until the first tit ran trust (beginning to not even trust the birds to the surrounding well-known food sources ! That then also given again.). Again almost 24 hours later, and the first sparrow trust to the feeding station. Meanwhile, the feeding station is in great demand. The stable seat rings with a "bisecting" pole in the middle seem to be good to sit for the birds. Frequently simultaneously sit on all the rings and birds are feed on. Sometimes it's even good if 2 simultaneously sit on a ring; mostly sells but then the other one. The reservoir is a good size, so I do not often need to refill :-) and so far the food has survived without problems even stronger rains in the station - presumably because the holes are fairly well protected. Anyway, I'm happy about rum and glad I did but then decided to use this feeding station!
