How many small birds may feed at one time?

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.

How small? If as large as cardinals, probably no more than two. I have nothing smaller but it might accommodate three or possibly four chickadee-sized birds.

The birds take turns on my feeders. I have my feeders near a lilac bush and sometimes they wait, sometimes the all flock to it at once. I have seen as many as 6 birds trying to feed at the same time. And I might add, the squirrels are going elsewhere!!! Hooray.

While there are 4 perches, I have noticed that how many will perch at once depends on the species. For instance, the chickadees really prefer to take turns, one at a time. They sort of line up on a nearby tree, and tag team it. The juncos will come in groups of two sometimes, and they are dominant over the chickadees. The chickadees will not feed while the juncos are there, but everyone gets their turn. It's fun to observe the behavioral differences of each species.

That's a small load. I have mine on the Eheim auto-feeder and feed a decent load two double feeds per day. For your load, I would say one time per day would be fine on the smallest setting (about a small pinch of food).

Only one. But chickens get crazy. Sometimes two will squeeze into the same box at the same time. They seem to want a particular box and if somebody else is in it, move over. Hope this answers your question. But only one is what the box is made for.

Feeder isn't small. The way they're built, you'll still have a mess. Feeders are built with the birds in mind not for tidiness.

I have used these for quite some time now and would buy again. Not for any bird bigger than a cockatiel or love birds etc. I have canaries and finches. Two canaries can eat at the same time and four finches. Just not tall enough for very big birds.

Depending on the size, larger wings about 5 on each side for them to get nice and crispy, if you add to many they don't cook well.Smaller wings 8-10 each side

My observation is yes. That was also a problem we had. They would clean out everything in minutes with our older feeders. The downside to this feeder is that if several smaller birds try to feed at once, the spring mechanism allows the assembly to migrate downwards and even they can't feed until one or more give up and then the assembly moves back up. The blackbirds and starlings are very persistent and try and try to get at the seed and may get a morsel now and then, but they certainly don't deplete this feeder like tradional ones.

This bird feeder holds between 5-6 cups of a thistle blend seed. This is the 2nd one I have owned. It's very easy to fill and the smaller birds love it!

Smaller birds can reach the food. Ie grackles and starlings. Blue birds and full grown cardinals had no luck getting into mine. Sqirrels did shake it a wee bit. Better than any feeders except the No-nos.

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

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.

3 is the max I just do 2 and the smallest amount. My fish were small after a year they are larger. Feeder is working well.

Four or five at a time, once or twice a day. Feed one pellet at a time. Mine loses excitement around the 5th one.

Depends on their size. I have a Sun Conure in mine. Would be too small for two of them.
