Is the bottom of the feeder metal.

No, the top portion where the flowers attach is metal but the base which screws into the glass bottle is plastic. For what its worth, it seems to be a sturdy variety of plastic.

There is a metal cover. So far the squirrels have not been able to penetrate this feeder. I recommend it.

The feeder is plastic and easy to clean. I have had this feeder for about 6 months and haven't needed to replace the food holder at all.

Yes, the one I received was put together with staples and was coming apart at the bottom of feeder.I bought some wood screws at Lowe's and hired a neighbor man to reinforce it with nine screws and a drill.

Yes. The bottom is flat. A wildlife museum outside Tucson with a walk-though hummer exhibit does just that with one or two similar saucer-style feeders, IIRC.

No, but there is a inside soft felt pad for the bottom so items dont touch metal.

I just received mine today and it has two "buttons" that you push to disconnect the polycarbonate cylinder from the bottom of the feeder. To fully dismantle the bottom, however, you need to unscrew the bottom metal plate. It is held on by two small Phillips-head screws. There are small drain holes in the bottom, too---I am guessing that they will let any water that gets in there to pass through. Nicely made feeder!

The grid is hinged at the bottom with a bent piece of metal that swings out to open the feeder. This feeder works really well! I had trouble with starlings and this feeder did not allow them to feed. Only wanted birds are the ones to feed.

It looks like both. The sides and top are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

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

The bottom (heating element) is steel, the inside is same as outside - plastic.

They are metal. Already dealth with the plastic ones. After extensive tries by the squirrels to steal the food they now just look at it.

They are metal, as are the end caps. The metal perches are no problem in the Michigan winter. This is the best upside down finch feeder out there.

It is plastic. It is a thistle feeder and our squirrels don't bother it. Plus we have it situated so the few squirrels we do have don't bother struggling with it. The birds leave them plenty of sunflower seeds on the ground from the other feeder!

Thank you for the inquiry. The bottom is plastic. If it s a sturdy piece. You just have to be careful about keeping the weight that is on top evenly distributed. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and have a great day.Sincerley,Melissa Ward
