Pretty much the whole thing is plastic....with the exception of the seed ports, bird perching posts and the hanger.

I think everything is probably plastic except maybe the ports where the birds feed. Although it is plastic, this is an amazing bird feeder. I have searched everywhere, and unless you are going to manufacture your own, this is the best one I have been able to find. We love it because it holds so much birdseed. And is lasts for MANY years before you have to replace it. Read my original review.

Everything is plastic, but holds up really well. This is the best feeder I've ever used. Fits well on a traditional pole from Wild Birds Unlimited. This is a replacement for an identical green one but I like the color so much better with this model. Looks like copper. Hope that helps!

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

It's been several years since I had this feeder -- so I don't recall what plastic cap there was. The squirrels did so much damage, I junked it. Sorry I can't help.

Not a very sturdy plastic, I can tell you that. The feeder arrived broken and was never used. I really don't think it was the type of plastic at fault but whoever packaged it. The box was too small so the feeder was crammed in it. When another package was thrown on top of it, the feeder broke.

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.

Metal .... I've had one of these feeders for three years and it frustrates the squirrels ...... excellent product.

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

I use duct tape. Attach the bowl to the feeder, than using the duct tape go around the outside of the bowl and feeder a couple of times.

It's part plastic part metal. The brown design and lid were metal. However, rain got in somehow and all my bird food got moldy. It was extremely hard to clean so I just threw it out.

Except for the screw on hook, the feeder is plastic. It was a gift so I do not have any experience with it but I liked it because the clear bottom portion come off so it can be cleaned thoroughly.

The only replacement parts for this feeder I have seen are the bee guards. You probably need to buy a whole new feeder, but save the bottle in case you need it in the future.

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 is made out of a very sturdy metal, not sure what kind. The first two we had for 10-12 years. They work very well for keeping the squirrels out. We just bought the new ones because we wanted a fresher look.

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, the ORIGINAL "Skinny Squirrel" feeder is made from beautiful, durable, & long-lasting stainless steel. It will look great in your yard, and your birds will love it too.. Hope this helps. If I can be of any additional help, just let me know.. Have a blessed day, Mark

It's plastic where the seeds go. It seems to be metal on the top and bottom. It's also very easy to fill & the birds use it.

The one I use can be found on Amazon It is called "Backyard Boys Woodworking BBW32 Deluxe Oriole Feeder" Click on this link and it will take you there Backyard Boys Woodworking BBW32 Deluxe Oriole FeederI have several varieties of feeders hanging next to each other from a metal tree. The birds just choose what they want. As I also said, I have just an open bowl sitting out on a bench for the ground feeders. Any open shallow container will do.
