Have the perches been lengthened so that Cardinals will feed at this feeder?

Cardinals are the #2 customers after the goldfinch and House finch. Some days a dozen or more wait in a nearby tree and seem pretty polite about sharing perches. The titmice and nuthatches and chickadees, seem to prefer the no perch feeders.

I have the 8 station feeder and I have cardinals feeding all the time. We have a couple that seem to love to hang out on the station and watch the yard and eat all the time!

Yes, there's a mix of long and short perches. I have cardinals at my feeders nearly every day.

This feeder is really meant to be hung from a hook or sheperd's pole. The hole's are not large but they are big enough for small birds to eat from. Hope this helps you.

Yes!! I have bought two of these feeders and love them. I'll buy a third one in the fall.

I wondered the same about larger birds being attracted to the feeder. It is always covered with smaller birds, (finches, nuthatches, titmouse) but now the cardinals have joined in and feed from it daily along with various smaller types of woodpeckers.

I does have very small openings for small birds and should keep the big birds out. I actually had to cut a few bigger hole, so that the cardinals could get in to eat.

It seems to. The finches take a bit of time to start using the feeder because of the 'cage'. I would buy another.

No, Starlings have been present at this feeder. It does seem a little more difficult for them to feed from it. I think they still prefer to be fed on the ground.

Yes... and each side is adjustable to set the wgt for closing the feeder openings for the size of birds you want to feed. I set one side for light wgt and the other for heavier birds.

Yes, both sides on mine had an adjustable perch. It was durable and lasted over a year for me!! the squirrel buster has been a better bird feeder though!!

There are four perches on the feeder. If the birds are particularly small or friendly with each other, they might fit two on each perch.

I have seen many cardinals on my feeder normally sitting at the bottom of it. I have other feeders out but some always manage to get onto this!!feeder.

We have not had a problem with this. We have several bird feeders in our yard, and this is a favorite. The cardinals love this feeder!

Cardinals feed at mine all the time. Even a red bellied woodpecker manages to feed on it. I've had mine for years & years and it really works to keep the squirrels from the bird food. Funny to watch them try though!

With all the suet feeders I put out I have never seen a cardinal on any of them. Although the bottom plate is removable to allow bigger birds such as woodpeckers to eat from underneath so a cardinal should be able to do the same

That's a question you should ask the folks at Perky Pet. They were able to send me replacement perches for my feeder.

Yes. The top has a hole where the rope hangs from - but the rope is fat and it is a snug fit. Our birds love it! But since we got so much attention from it - neighborhood cats have been hanging around the feeder! :-/

Hi Michael, We have two of these feeders. We love them so much. The squirrels cannot eat from them. The first year we had the feeders, the cardinals and blue jays disappeared. We thought it was because of the wildlife that was in our year constantly. However, they did return with more cardinals than ever. It took them a while to adjust to the new feeders. They would hover and then fly to a near by tree. Now they are very comfortable and have adjusted fine. Don't give up.
