We have 2 of these placed amongst the borders and shrubs offering the birds feed and shelter swiftly if needed. Both are adequate, the metal isn't overly robust and both have had to be roped to the fence posts to stop lists and leans.
The pigeons then sit on the ropes, allowing them to nibble through the squirrel proof feeders 😤. I'm happy to feed them in the ground, our DIL reckons they are the size of chickens 😱🤣. This is annoying but causes more of a list/lean!
My question is does anyone have a good feeding pole? Cost within reason not too much of an issue - Christmas is coming 😉.
I've been looking and can see bits that can be purchased as extras, 4 spikes or a 2 prong, similar to a small h. Has anyone had experience of these?
I'm on my 2nd lot of poles, they rust and rot through, and currently one has a cane inserted to try to hold it together. I don't want to buy 'cheap' again to get the same problem down the line!
Might it be worth chatting to a blacksmith?
Can anyone recommend a make of quality?
