do the birds poop right under this thing?

Hi Felix, if they are, we've never even noticed. They visit for a short time while grabbing a seed. If they stay for lots of seeds, we've had no problems. Good product. The cardinal pictured on the website is smaller than ours.

no generally they don't poop when they're eating... I've had a couple other window mounted bird feeders in the past and this one is by far the best one I have had

Felix, you may find an occasional dropping in the area, but when feeding birds in your yard you have to expect that there will be bird droppings around. I can only tell you that the rewards of seeing the birds up so close out ways the occasional dropping. If you do not want any bird droppings I suggest you not feed the birds. Tee in RI

Yes, it does. they are slots and don't let the birds waste as much food as if it was a flat surface. It is amazing.

No they do not. Took little while for small birds to use feeder but use it all the time now.

It easily hangs from a pole using the included bracket. The only bad part is that the birds like to sit on the bracket and defecate on the lovely blue top of the feeder necessitating cleaning the top of the feeder.

No, not at all. It will look a little spooky to them at first, but after a couple of days they will go in and out as usual.Look for the one inch mesh, it will not just prevent birds, it will also prevent possum and raccoon as well.

Birds don't poop in their nest- or where their food is either, so that shouldn't be a concern. The food in all three of my feeders is always clean.

Its like the Energizer Bunny...it keeps on tryin' It sputters and and makes a kinda strange sound..ours has been waterless for a few hours at a time without any harm to it..It is hard to centralize, but otherwise, we think its a funny little addition to our yard..and the birds seem to like it..

No. I placed it under a tree in my garden and the birds still nest in the tree. The cats are gone.

It doesn't. It's free standing inside the cage. Make sure you have a cage big enough for it and one where the door is big enough to get it in and out to keep it clean. My finch cage is good size, and the vision "baths" are the first thing I really found to keep the mess down. I use one for food and one for water. They take up a good bit of floor space footprint on the cage bottom, but they are worth it for cleanliness. And the birds love being able to splash around at will.

the squirrels in my yard are very agile,they jump from the ground up to the feeder by passed the torpedo.I bought a squirrel proof feeder,works very well and no bird poop on torpedo.

It doesn't really matter, because it doesn't work to keep birds away anyway. When I first put it out I had everything from cardinals to hawks land right next to it. Didn't bother them in the slightest. It is pretty though.

No, but there is a loop that you attach to either a piece of thin rope, or some kind of hanger. If you read my review of this product, I did not like it. Well, not me, the birds didn't like it. The bottle is small, and the perch is way too small for even little birds to sit on. None of my birds went near it. I was disappointed because finding a water source can be difficult in the summer for them. So now I leave it on the landscape bricks for the chipmunk to drink from.

yes, it does. It still gets crusty on the tray when it rains. We put fruit and nut in it and guess the chaff and coatings tend to clog the water flow. We got this one as we had the smaller version which the birds fought over. This gives plenty of surface area to allow many birds access to food at one time.

We have mostly sparrows that get in to the feeder at the moment, but not having had it that long, I'm not sure. We will get Cardinals later on, so will have to see if they can get in through the holes. The feeder is wonderful, and may have to get another one, as we have a smaller one, but the birds ignore it. It might be worth trying it, as other small birds would love it anyway.

It's open in front and back so you can see right into it. It stays in place well. The birds took a while to figure it out sometimes trying to get in through the side or top.

It helps keep the chickens from standing it the feeder while they eat, once in a while I still see one, usually a young one, standing in it. The chickens will poop in their food, this helps keep it out.

It is a bit heavy, I hung it on a strong pole. However I have to say, my birds didn't go near it. Also Not so crazy about the pooping in the little bowls potential. Must note that in Winter my birds didn't seem to give a dang about water sources. However now that things have warmed up they are visiting my two Birdbaths.
