Gardman Large Black Metal Steel Seed Wild Bird Hanging Garden Feeder A01513

it was necessary to file the fixing of a support (birds) which prevented to position the support horizontally. Nothing serious but report to the manufacturer. This could possibly avoid returns

I ordered the large (27cm) Gardman Black Metal feeder to replace an old one. The feeder is particularly useful for delivering seed to Collared Doves, which are intelligent enough to learn to perch on the wide steel perches the feeder provides. (Feral pigeons and larger birds can't balance for long and in our case have given up trying to feed .) We have encouraged the doves, and (depending on the season) receive daily visits of between 5 and 17 doves. They feed in pecking order, quite boisterously. The delivery from ManoMano was faultess, and arrived earlier than the date proposed. Clearly a reliable and trustworthy supplier. One point to note about the feeder: the lid is fitted on using metal lugs on the top of the polycarbonate tube, to provide easy loading and cleaning. The lugs slip into grooves cut in the lid, which can open up over time and become too loose. So to ensure a tight fit, these grooves need to be tapped down with a hammer periodically, until they are narrow enough to provide a tight fit.
