Will this feeder handle millet seed?

I've only used nijer (thistle) seeds so I cannot give you an objective answer regarding the use of other types of seeds with the feeder. The birds appear not to have any problems extracting the thistle from the slots in the tube. Sorry I could not be more helpful in answering your question with regards to other seed types.

I'm not sure, you might check around on that on Google. I got it for my feeder which fell 2 weeks ago and broke :(.

I do not know, but if you contact the manufacturer, I'm sure they could advise you.This is a wonderful feeder. I have all kinds of birds who enjoy their dining experiences on it.

Might be a stretch. This is a well built feeder but I don't know it it is heavy duty enough for parrots or other birds that tend to chew. A good size bird may also have trouble reaching the seed. They definitely wouldn't fit on the perches. This feeder is best suited to house finches and other small birds.

The mesh is designed for sunflower seed with the shell on. Smaller seed will leak out. The birds love the feeder, but our squirrels love it too. You have to place it in an area where squirrels can't access it.

You may have the the bottom disk in backwards or lost it. Millet will just run out anyways. Put in sunflower seed (depending on birds you want at feeder).

This feeder is designed to accommodate mixed seed, Nyjer®, and thistle seed.

Peanuts would be too large. Bird seed filters from the bottom of the feeder. Sunflower seed will fit through but that is as large as I would go with it.

As long as it's not a really heavy one. Something plastic. I currently have a tube feeder(for thistle or sunflower seeds) on mine. If your feeder is wood, it will be heavier & I doubt it would hold it.

Yes, and there are plenty. My issue is that it rains a whole lot here, and heavy at times, so the sides let the seed get wet. If you had it in a dry climate or under a porch roof, this would be an awesome feeder!

So far, I have not had a problem with any type of seeds. Just have to pour slowly into feeder from top. Since I used this feeder, I have several new types of birds in my yard.

No. I hung my feeder but I seem to remember it had a pole mount. I might add that the little red roof opening where you load the seeds into is very small and partially blocked inside by support structures. I had to cut out two of the four structures to allow seeds to flow in. It is a big feeder and holds a lot of feed.

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later

The opening at the bottom of the feeded is about 1/2" so I would think they would...we use a product called Clean Mix bird food which is pieces of peanuts and we don't have a problem. We have been very happy with this feeder. Hope htis helps...

Yes; the mesh is quite fine, a bit larger than window-screening. Cracked corn and even small seeds will stay in this feeder. The mesh on my feeder is strong and not flimsy at all. Lots of times six or seven little birds will be crowded into it at once! I suppose a very large bird could tip the feeder, but my mourning doves and red-winged blackbirds use it without tipping it.

I am so sorry, I misread the question. The feeder will not handle that size paper. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, definitely. As a matter of fact I worried that some of the smaller songirds like cardinals and bluebirds would be too large to access the food; smaller birds do best in it. Really a good feeder though.
