Droll Yankees 16-inch Finch Bird Feeder, Ring Pull Advantage

The Classic !-6RP Ring Pull feeder is an ingenious delivery system to feed your birds and prevent squirrels from eating the seeds. This model is an updated version of the first tubular bird feeder that was invented in 1969. When my Droll Yankees Feeder arrived, I read the literature and began by cleaning the feeder. I just pulled the ring pull and the pieces of the feeder fell away into my bucket for cleaning. I soaked everything in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. I have a feeder cleaning brush but as this was new I did not need to use it this time. I made sure all the pieces were dried and then I began to reassemble the feeder. It was just as described; very easy! I began by inserting the ring pull rod through the top two ports and followed the process for each of the other male and female ports. This process was amazing and allows for the cleaning of every piece of the feeding port which ensures that your birds are not bringing diseases back to their nest. Once I filled the feeder, I then placed it on my feeding pole allowing the birds to find their new delivery system that protects them from disease and the intrusion of squirrels. The birds love this feeder and I now have three to six birds feeding at the same time. I know the birds are very happy because the number of birds feeding increases every day. I highly recommend this great inventive product!
