Can cardiinals use this feeder?

Yes, cardinals seem to love the Solutions Feeder. I fill my feeder with black sunflower seeds, and birds just flock to it, especially the cardinals.

I have the squirrel solution feeder for over a year, all birds use them, but the cardinals are dominant and use it more than any other birds.

I have a host of cardinals that spend time beneath it, waiting for seeds to fall, but have yet to see one on the unit. Strange.

I agree with the first comment. Cardinals can use the feeder, but seem to prefer a platform style feeder. I have seen them sitting on the ground under the Squirrel Solutions Feeder waiting for another bird to spill seed onto the ground!

Yes, I have cardinals that eat from my feeder. Although, I think they prefer flat feeders (trays), this has worked very well for me.

Although Cardinals prefer to feed from a shelf/trough type setting, I HAVE seen cardinals on our Squirrel Solutions feeder, but they don't stay as long as other types of birds.

Yes. The only birds that cannot so far are doves and crows. A single bulebird can also feed but there cannot be more than one on a perch. It really is squirrel proof.

I use an enclosed feeder with plastic sides that have two holes on each side and there is one hole on each end. Small birds can get in and larger brids cannot. Although this year the Starlings have figured out that they can stick their head and to retrive food.

Yes. I plan on having 3 feeders out at a time and will rotate them with freshly cleaned and refilled ones. In the hot temps. they need refilled almost daily.

Yes. I have this feeder filled with sunflower seeds and another filled with regular bird seed and they definitely prefer this one. I see a lot of cardinals and wood p_eckers too.

There may be enough room but I wouldn't. You are going to want good circulation in the feeder to ensure you don't get any mold. Zero issues with squirrels or other nuisance birds. Highly recommend. Food went from lasting one to three days to almost a month.

Thanks for your question. In response, yes, we absolutely do. If you do a search on amazon for the product id B00MEVCD6W (we can't add direct url links in our responses) you'll see our feeder that is specifically built to address larger birds like grackles, etc. It's also made from durable stainless steel, and has all the same great features / good looks as the ORIGINAL "Skinny Squirrel" feeder, but will be a better fit for your needs..Hope this helps. If I can be of any additional help, just let me know..Have a blessed day,Mark

I don't use nectar; I just make plain sugar water. However, its made for both nectar and sugar water. There must be some issue with the feeder itself if the birds are not able to extract the sugar water from the holes. I have six of these exact feeders and there isn't a problem. I fill them up on day one and orioles and hummingbirds go at it. Other birds do try to feed but their beaks are too short. I would contact the seller.

We use the No/No Bronze Hourglass Bird Feeder and feed primarily black sunflowers, occasionally we feed millet and other seeds. We live on a farm and have witnessed raccoon, squirrel and chipmunks try to get into the feeders without success. We have all size birds year round feed. This will be our second or third season for this type of bird feeder and love it.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

Yes, ants could get into it. It is quite basic/flimsy . I bought this for the same reason you did. I feed a few stray cats outside. If I purchase another feeder, it would not be this one. Good Luck.

Yes you can. It comes with an S hook that fits into the center post when the top is all the way on. We hang it from a hook but you could easily put a chain between the S hook of the feeder and a hook somewhere else.

Hi Christine, Thanks for your question. In response, yes absolutely, this bird feeder works great for Cardinals & Red Bellied Woodpeckers. Basically, we typically see our customers use black oil sunflower seeds and fill the center portion (called the seed tank). When filled, some seeds stick out, and due to the double cage design, it allows birds to be able to stick their head/beak in between the outer cage holes and get to the seeds without problem. However, Squirrels cannot fit their heads or mouths through the outer holes as its too small and uncomfortable. Hope this helps! Mark ======= Skinny Squirrel Cages

I would say yes, but I believe there are other, perhaps more suitable no mess feeders available.

no.. I did not like this feeder.. my birds never used it and neither did the squirrels.... they never even tried it one time.... so I put it away and am back to using my original feeders....

Well idk. I don't see why not tho. I like the way it's made. It is my favorite feeder and I have tried 3 other styles. The metal uprights keep my chickens from wasting feed on the ground. The only thing I did to optimize its construction was to fasten it to a piece of a 2x6 the same length to give it move weight so they wouldn't turn it over. Some had suggested wire tie to fence but I like to be able to move it around and pick it up to clean it. So I found adding the platform base made more sense for me. Best of luck with your flock!
