How big are the openings in the mesh? Would it work to hold suet for birds?

I think it would, I do not think anything would go through. This bag is not expensive and it would be worth the try.

Sorry, we don't have any Magpies in our area. Some starlings can cling to the sides and put their heads in, enough to reach the outer part of suet blocks. I'm not sure how large a head or long a bill the Magpies have. Also, red bellied woodpeckers and some mockingbirds & catbirds will cling to the outside to reach in (but that's OK with me). Hope that helps a little in your decision.

I don't know the exact size of the openings, as I lent this to a friend. But it would definitely accommodate bean bags.

I use mine with a very full bird feeder. I estimate it will hold up to 10 pounds.

I use this stand to hold a stainless steel 12" gazing ball... and another holds a 10" glass gazing ball. Anything smaller would not work. The 12" sits up high while the 10" sits a little lower in the stand. It is very close to the ground... I never thought of using it as a birdbath by adding a bowl... I have 7 various standard, but each different, birdbaths... and a small kiddie pool for the birds. I put a board in the kiddie wading pool because toads would get in and not be able to get back out, plus the birds actually walk down the board and drink from the pool water. Pool was originally for my couple dogs that love water; but got them a different, larger pool and put it elsewhere in the yard. I hope this helps. If your bowl has a lip on it, it would work, as I said a round gazing ball, both 12 and 10 inch fit.

Unscrew the hanger loop, there is a threaded insert under the roof that attaches the lid and the cage together. Several turns will release the roof to insert the suet into the cages. To avoid small birds getting trapped in the inner cages (which happened to us), cover the top of the inner cages with a mesh structure (such as gutter guard or metal window screen), if it is the same width as the outer cage it won't be able to shift around.

Unfortunately starlings were still able to stick their heads in just far enough to reach the suet in mine. It really needs to be an inch or two larger in diameter. However, to fix it I put the suet a little higher in the cage (put a small piece of wood under it to raise it an inch or less) and then put only one suet cake in it. On the side which had the suet cake I put a piece of wire across each cage square. You could also use small zip ties too. Kind of a pain but it worked very well. My Carolina Wrens zip right through the cage openings on the other side of the feeder and hop over to the suet.

the diameter of the perch is about 1"...but it looks like you can easily replace it with a bigger one. My macaw was not comfortable on the skinny one.

maybe 1/2 inch or less..perfect for small birds..finches,parakeets,cockatiels and would even be good for a larger reptile

probably not. I have bought several of them andcthey vary by size, a big one was able to hold our two love birds, but I can't see our conure fitting in

The mesh size is from 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Its a bait net, so should hold those little crawdads.

I believe the bar spacing is 3/4" or 1". I have a Parrolet in it and it is wonderful!! I had originally ordered a bigger cage with 1 1/2" and he got out. This cage will hold a parakeet or larger. I wouldn't put anything larger than a Conure or Pionus in though. I think anything larger would need more room.

Yes, I think it would. My Parakeets have plenty of room and love it a lot. They use it all the time.

The feeder will hold either size but small bag is really too small. We found the large bag not very big and usable from the start.

Blackbirds are too big to get through the squares, so I don't think they could get through the outside squares to the suet holder inside.

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.

Not sure of the exact diameter but if you live in a windy area I would not recommend. It is not that sturdy when full size bird feeders are attached. The bird feeders that come with it are very small.
