Woodlink Going Green Platform Bird Feeder Model GGPLAT

Love it! The floor is grated, allowing rain to drain away from the seeds. The hanging wire and hook and very sturdy. The colors is beautiful and my birds love it. It is very well designed and built!!Update: I have now had this feeder for 5 years (2019 to 2025) , and it is still going strong. The color hasn't faded. The hanging wire is still sturdy. It remains easy to clean. Morning doves, blue jays, mocking birds, and other birds that don't like or fit on my perch feeders love it.

Having great success with hummingbirds this summer, my wife and I were looking to start our "standard" bird adventure once they migrated away in early fall. We began with a hopper style feeder but were slightly disappointed, attracting predominantly white breasted nuthatches and tufted titmice.We decided to add a different style feeder that could accommodate not only a greater variety of birds but more birds at once, and to allow for some seed experimentation. Reading the other reviews on Amazon this feeder seemed like a great option and, even if unsuccessful, it is cheap enough to write it off. Well, thankfully it has been a resounding success thus far!So far visitors to the platform feeder have included... downy woodpeckers, red bellied woodpeckers, kinglets, purple finches, cardinals, blue jays, song sparrows, and of course the same nuthatches and titmice mentioned before. We are confident new ones will show up too, as we are only in week 2 of this hobby! The platform has held as many as 9 purple finches at once and seems quite stable and balanced. The drainage on the mesh is quite good and it is very easy to clean. You can put a ton of food in, or add little by little. I also used a small diagonal divider to test two separate types of seed to see who liked what best.In the spring we will be adding another pole with places for additional feeder styles, however I think we will find a place for a second one of these!Extremely pleased with the purchase.

6 Years Update! We're going in to our 7th year with this feeder and it is STILL in excellent condition with very little color fade. Still the favorite of all our birds!!!Original review below:We have 6 different feeders and this is by far the most popular. Not that this should be your only feeder. It's all about presentation. The pros on this feeder are that it gives Cardinals the room they like to land. Construction is 1st class and these materials should last many seasons. It is also very easy to clean. I feed a variety mix of black sunflower, safflower, shelled sunflower, dried fruit and peanuts (dry-roast unsalted). I set a little jar lid of thistle in the middle and the gold finches come in and just sit and eat. Titmice will eat nothing but peanuts until they are all gone. Cardinals like the safflower more than any of the others. Even the perchers, nuthatch and woodpeckers, will land here for a bite and then fly off to their tree to eat. Woodpeckers like dried cherries and dried cranberries and will be the 1st to grab those. About presentation, buy several different styles. Finches love the tube with thistle. I have 2 wire mesh cylindrical feeders with multiple perches. Titmice, nuthatch, chickadee and the woodpeckers love those because they can either perch or cling. The nuthatch will always cling to the mesh and eat upside down. Don't forget a suet cage. The Downey woodpecker spends more time there than anywhere. I will also heartily recommend the Audubon Signature Harvest Cherry mix. It generally runs about $2 a pound at the box stores. I mix with additional black sunflower and add dry roasted unsalted peanuts. Be sure to provide a source of water.If there is any con that I can relate it is that this feeder provides adequate space for Blue Jays. They can be pigs at the feeder and the other birds tend to scatter when the Jays land. Oh well. They are pretty, just voracious eaters.

The media could not be loaded. It’s a large tray style birdfeeder that can hold up to 15 birds at a time. the base of it is a screen so that if it rains, the water just goes right through but the seeds stay in the tray. The birds absolutely love it! The construction is so well-made it is not wood. It is a composite material that does not rot and it’s not stapled. It’s screwed together. This is The third one of these trays that I purchased. The first one I purchased is still hanging and it’s about eight years old!I highly recommend this birdfeeder!And so do the birds!
