I was given a new Droll Yankees A-6RP Ring Pull Classic Feeder as a gift. Is there a seed tray made to fit this model?

Yes, I added one to mine just a couple of months ago. I works great but it does give the squirrels something to sit on and get into the feeder. I believe I purchased the Droll Yankees Omni Seed Tray, Clear.

Try the cucumber plate #18110. If this one doesn't work, it is possible to modify other seed plates to accept large, flat seeds such as pumpkin. Please see the earthway manual for directions on how to do this:http://www.earthway.com/manuals/1b3e89a7-ebd5-473d-ae01-187dda4e4911.pdf

I use a rectangular type plastic scoop that you can pick up at at bird food retailers (any including big box stores). Lift the top up of the feeder and fill the scoop and open the slide on the bottom of the scoop. You can control the seed much better that way.

Hi,I've owned two of these. They're my birds' favorite feeder. I broke the plastic insert when I dropped the feeder.Because the feeder isn't that expensive, I just purchased another one. Don't know if the plastic insert is avail separately, but I would suggest contacting the company. Here's the link to their website: http://www.homesteadbirdfeeders.com/Good luck!

The A-6RP can be attached to a pole. This is a very good feeder and Droll Yankee is an excellent Co. to do business with.

Yes. 1" dia. pole slides thru hole in the base, between the feeding tubes, to a fitted sleve under the seed filling top. Approx. 18 1/2-19" from base of feeder to where pole stops.

When I bought my feeder the Ace Hardware where I go it did not have the pole in stock. I went to the Homestead site on the internet and ordered the pole through them. My suggestion is to take the feeder and your pole to a hardware store, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. and see if they have a cap that would fit so you can mount your feeder on the pole. I don't know where you as in big city or small but a machine shop might also be able to solve your problem. I hope that this helps.

It will work if it has the threaded hole at the bottom of it,. Mine has a black plastic nut that screws into the feeder base that holds the seed catcher on it.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email.Jim

There is a place underneath in the center that fits a pole. Personally I thought that well wasn't deep enough to keep the feeder steady because of the weight of it when full of seed/nuts. It's supposed to work but I'm too cautious to try it on a pole.

I love this tray feeder and so do the the birds. I use ONLY sunflower seeds as most birds love them, even goldfinches. I live in FL.

I found a solution! After looking high and low for a replacement dish, I found that a Rubbermaid (food storage) container works nicely. It's the square size...holds 2.9 cups. You have to "pop" it in the holder, but it stays in place and won't blow away...not too deep for the birds. They love it! Hope this helps....

Sorry, but no, the feeder won't contain all of the seeds. Because the birds tend to fling the seeds and shells around, and the hulls are so light that the slightest breeze will cause them to float out of the feeder, your neighbors will still see the results of the birds using the feeder. I have yet to find a feeder that will keep all of the debris in - except for hummingbird feeders. Here's a thought; if you have a way of attaching an extension pole to the outside edge of your porch (attached to a wall or porch support) and hang your feeder from it, perhaps the distance away from your porch will also keep their porch clean(er). I just purchased the Green Esteem 60500 36" Extended Reach Wall Pole from Amazon in order the keep raccoons out of my feeders. It attaches via a wall bracket and will swing back toward you when you want to refill the feeder. It's very sturdy. Not only did it work for its intended purpose, but a side benefit has been that the deck has been much cleaner, not only of seed debris, but of bird p--p. Good luck.

Hello, the Droll Yankee Tray fits my Woodlink and Droll Yankee tube feeders. Check the bottom of your brand of tube feeder. If the feeder has a threaded insert, it is likely this tray will fit. If it isn't a perfect fit, your local hardware will be of help in matching up a new bolt.

Yes I just got an onyx thistle feeder with microban. Also has the quick release bottom for easy cleanibg. I'm a big fan of Droll Yankee and have quite a few of them.

I don't think so, but you would probably not want to use a tray on a Finch feeder even if it did attach. Finches are such picky eaters and like to perch on the small rods that I think that a tray would have them flying on to another feeder. You might want to check with Droll Yankees to be sure. Every time I have contacted them, they have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
