Super long! |
Lots of birds can feed at once. But the feeder attracts so many goldfinches that there are always some waiting (not so patiently) for their turn. |

| Spiral perch |
|
The spiral perch is an innovation that lets birds feed in a way we've never seen before. This feeder is really fun to watch.
The goldfinches flock to it and sidle up and down the spiral. Their interactions are lively.
You really get to see each bird's personality. |

Mellow yellow |
|
The bright yellow color of the feeder picks up the color of the goldfinches, especially in their breeding plumage. Very pretty combination. |

The Spiral Finch Feeder 36"
Michael and Diane Porter took this little movie through their living room window, in April, 2007.
Note how the American goldfinches are in mid moult, showing a mixture bright gold feathers and some olive green ones left from winter.

| Easy
to clean |
| Comes
apart easily. The yellow metal cap click-locks into place. No screws to drop in the grass, and no tools needed. |
|
| Never stale! |
|
This clever feeder opens exactly the same from the top or the bottom.
Fill it from the top one time and from the bottom the next, so all the seed stays fresh. |

This feeder is designed for nyger, the tiny black seeds that finches love. It's easy to find in supermarkets, feed stores, or wild bird centers.
