Is this bird feeder plastic, or metal?

The pole is metal. Other parts are made from strong plastic- pretty durable.

The pole is metal but the rest of the feeder is plastic. It's a great feeder...the birds love it, the squirrels can't get up it & I love watching all the action.

It is both..... a metal pole and catch, a hard composite top and bottom of some plastic or composite material . Mine is several years old and came through Superstore Sandy just fine.

It is both but is the best bird feeder I have owned But you must remember they don't make it any more and you can't buy parts as far as I know. I hope they come out with another model as I would sure buy it Rich Hunt

The poles are metal. Every other part is good quality plastic. The base is plastic and hollow to put sand or rock in. I used rocks I found in the yard. P. S. It is a wonderful feeder!

the pole and baffle are made of metal, the part where the bird seed goes is made a very hard plastic, we have had ours for approximately 3 years, and have had no problems with it. a great item, especially to deter squirrels.

It seems to be very hard plastic. We still haven't needed to clean the windows. Our oldest feeder is at least 5 or 6 years old (maybe older) and it has held up beautifully. We tried some other brands a few years ago, and the Absolute II is the best. Neither squirrels nor doves have mastered it. We highly recommend it.

It's plastic. We have been very happy with it. We have had it a few months, and before that had a conair for about 9 years. Good product for the price point.

It is plastic and metal. I live in Phoenix and use it outside, but when I am not using it I bring it in. There is nothing plastic that survives in the Phoenix sun. Hope this helps.

Metal and plastic. I took mine down after a couple of weeks......food everywhere! Whenever a bird flies from it, it swings and all the food goes on the ground. I would not recommend this feeder unless you pole mount it.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

I have no idea what kind of plastic. I can say the item looks great the price is right and both the birds and i love it.

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but the whole thing is light metal and the pole sticks in the ground. It is a bit wobbly. I removed the water pan, and squirrel baffle bought separately to help keep them out. The three main feeders work OK. Overall, it is adequate, but not going to be my permanent bird feeder over the long run. I think of it as a test run.

All the pieces are plastic, and I have a couple of these feeders that have lasted several years.

I've had my feeder for a long time. Got it from a local shop...Mine is all metal and glass. Here is one that is similar but not the one I have.When I purchased it I paid a hefty price for it but it has stood the test of time. Perky-Pet 363 Birds and Berries Lantern Feeder

It's plastic, but it has the wood grain look. Hard to tell unless you get right up to it.

Plastic. - I don't think it would be very easy to make one from glass. I don't really know. But, I do want only glass if possible - because glass harbors less bacteria. However, this is thick plastic with a special coating (microban - I think). My favorite part of this feeder is that the ports are very small. The goldfinch really have to work to get the seed. There is less waste. Sometimes I let the feeder stay low for a week. The goldfinch have "voracious" appetites for Nyjer and like to travel in large groups. By cutting them off - (keeping a low stock in the feeder for a week) - teach them to survive - make them smarter. A few will still come around. And at this time of year, many will disappear altogether while they go somewhere else to breed. Most of this I have read elsewhere online. ... Remember, if you use the "upright" feeder and want to use up your Nyjer before it goes bad, you will definitely need to wash the feeder ports (Eastern US) to prevent blinding the House Finch. They stick their beak in all the way up to their eyes. I had unknowingly participated in spreading this "Eye disease" and although not fully debilitated, the House Finch could only see a few feet in front of them. --Here is where a glass feeder would clean easily and help the House Finch. I recommend to feed House Finch if desired (occasionally IMO) because there has been a correlation between rising House Finch population and declining House Sparrow population (and vice versa). Goldfinch are my favorite bird to feed. They are absolutely delightful. I would definitely invest in a glass feeder if it was affordable.

Steel/aluminum? It is a strong and durable metal. Birds love it and it holds up strong- the squirrels don't like it!

Pretty sure it's metal. But this thing didn't work at all. The squirrels just figured out how to shake the seeds out. So the plastic is the least of your worries.

Got mine today---the perches/feed hole pieces are definitely metal. The description states they are metal, too. Very smooth, nicely made, very well finished. But yes, metal.

Pretty sure it's plastic. Hard for me to tell, but it looks decent either way.
