What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing calls the feeder blue, while its feature text describes an orange body with a dark blue roof. It also gives both a 15-inch hanging rope and a hanging wire in the contents details, and describes spring settings from 200g to 350g without clarifying how those settings relate to the four positions. Confirm the selected item's color and included hanger before buying. The seller also advises hanging it in an open area without nearby squirrel perches, including a shepherd's hook pole, and says the weight mechanism may not deter lighter squirrels or large birds in some cases.
