Could you use this as a bird feeder? Sunflower seeds?

I suppose, but I don't think that would be a good use of it. There are probably better products.

We used it to feed Sandhill cranes in the years they produce two colts (young) as normally only of survives. We used black sun flower seeds. You cannot keep the birds from using it to some degree but it is designed to keep small birds out.

It takes the birds a few days to figure out how to fly into the feeder. I put sunflower seeds and millet in mine. I also add a mix every once in a while. I get lots of birds.

We use black oil sunflower seeds and the birds love. If you want it to be squirrel proof you need to keep it out of reach. if they can grab it from a pole or tree limb, no feeder will be squirrel proof. Ours hangs on a cable about 5 feet off the ground and 8 feet from a tree limb and we have no problem with squirrels.

Possibly could be. Might be a little difficult because it has a cone shaped bottom. We have ours hung from a shepherds hook. It is a great bird feeder and is a good price.

I believe this feeder is intended for outdoor wild bird feeding. At least, that is how I use mine.

Probably. From what I remember, bird seed is roughly the same size as fertilizer. Plus, you can adjust the opening on this.

I buy several types of seeds to attract various birds. I also use one that has a mixture of seeds, nuts and dried fruit. You can use mostly any type of bird seed that the stores sell. Love these bird feeders!

I suppose you can in an indirect way. I don't think there's an attachment on the bottom to do it, but if you rig a pole so that the bird feeder would hang from it, that should work. I have a suet feeder as well that hangs from an iron pole that I got at Big Lots. That pole I think was designed to hang plants, but there's no reason you couldn't use it for this bird feeder.

Its hard to say, but you should be okay. I think it is designed as a ground feeder, and that is how we use it. It is of good quality and the birds love it.

It's not real big so it would probably be O.K. but......mine are hanging off my front porch and back porch and I have to sweep the seeds they kick out daily. Dove, pigeons, and a bunch others eat a lot off the ground.

If by "oiled sunflower seed" you mean Black Oil Sunflower seeds, yes. Should you put the seed in this feeder specifically, no. Not at all. I get into more detail in my review but the design is terrible and you're better off using a different brand.

Not sure how much weight it is able to hold , but we have two tube style bird feeders hanging on it - each about 14 inches filled with sunflower seeds with no problem. The feeders tend to rock when the wind blows, but the pole/hook stays sturdy.

Yes, black oil sunflower seeds work fine. The birds have no problem getting the seeds through the opening.

I would say yes, keeping in mind that some bird seed mixes have sun flower seeds, this could be a problem distributing the mix evenly.

Yes, I also feed many birds on the farm and have not used this for bird seed. I use this on my big deck and I have pillows, radio, mosquito repellant items etc. and none of this gets wet. I do not leave it on the deck during the winter months. I have been very happy with this box for what I use it for.

I wouldn't buy this feeder. The seed gets wet on the inside and once it heats up the seeds start to sprout. It's all glass and no way for the seeds to air out. I threw mine away a month after I got it! �

I don't know... I'm using it to hold a plant. I wouldn't recommend this for a bird feeder. It is too short for that.
