Description
The WoodLink 11″ Diameter Cage Mixed Seed Feeder is a tough and weather resistant bird feeder that was designed to attract small songbirds and retain squirrels and big birds. It features a large metal mesh cage with clear plastic sides to hold mixed seed. Easy to fill and clean, the feeder is designed to blend with the garden and backyard.
Feeding Features
Around the clear plastic tube are six feeding ports. Each of its ports is lined with a metal perch for finches, chickadees, sparrows and other small birds to sit and rest. The flow‑through metal base at the bottom of the tube drains water to keep the seed dry and fresh after it rains. And since the cage is too small for the bigger birds and they can't fit through the cage bars, the little guys can enjoy feeding in peace.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
The feeder features a hinged metal roof with a lock clip that prevents squirrels from raising the lid. To refill, the user lifts one side of the roof and pours seed directly into the tube. The tube and base are quickly removed for easy cleaning using warm, soapy water. Drying is quick, and its parts snap together without tools.
Installation and Stability
The lid also has a solid steel hanging hanger, so it’s simple to hang on a shepherd’s hook, ceiling hook, or anything sturdy. The feeder does not sway in light to moderate winds and weighs about five pounds when the tray is full. A balanced design keeps the feeder steady and the seed in place, while the rounded lip ensures waste lands on the ground and not in the feeder.
Benefits to Birds and Gardeners
By offering seed inside a protected cage, the feeder helps promote natural foraging behavior. Smaller birds can stick their heads and beaks through the holes as if searching a crevice in tree bark. The clear tube allows bird‑watchers to see feeding activity unobstructed. Because spilled seed is minimized, fewer weeds grow under the feeder and fewer unwanted pests visit the area.
Durability and Longevity
The powder‑coated finish is rust-resistant, so hot summer and cold winter days are no match for the feeder. Holes in the base help prevent water from collecting and causing mold. The cage and tube may also be used repeatedly without losing shape and function. The lockable roof, durable hanger and ledge combine to free the feeder from rain and snow so it remains in the backyard for years of entertaining.
Final Thoughts
The WoodLink 11″ Diameter Cage Mixed Seed Feeder features a large seed capacity thanks to its wire cage design as well as a chew and rust-resistant construction. Its low-profile, unobtrusive cage is effective at keeping out larger birds while being small enough that they can’t fit through the bars; meanwhile, the clear tube and metal perches create a comfortable, secure feeding station.
For those in need of a durable feeder that adds beauty to the backyard bird environment, this WoodLink model should be at the top of the list.
