## Questions people ask

**Why is the best-rated feeder not first?**

Because 216 ratings at 4.6 stars is less evidence than 1,689 at 4.5, and it ranks 99th in the category against 2nd.

**How does the squirrel proof work?**

A twist-and-lift locking lid that stops the top being opened. That is a mechanism rather than the vague claims other listings make.

**How big is it?**

40cm tall and 26cm across, so it takes a decent amount of seed.

**Where can I hang it?**

From a branch or a bracket; a hanging mount is not included with a station.

**Which birds does it suit?**

Small birds: buyers report that starlings and larger birds are kept out.

**How many ratings does it have?**

216 at the time of collection, averaging 4.6 stars, with 77 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
