Thanks for your question. In response, yes, we absolutely do. If you do a search on amazon for the product id B00MEVCD6W (we can't add direct url links in our responses) you'll see our feeder that is specifically built to address larger birds like grackles, etc. It's also made from durable stainless steel, and has all the same great features / good looks as the ORIGINAL "Skinny Squirrel" feeder, but will be a better fit for your needs..Hope this helps. If I can be of any additional help, just let me know..Have a blessed day,Mark

We used a heavy duty shepherds hook attached to the deck. It gets very heavy when full and with wind will want something sturdy. Awesome feeder. We have 3.

I have not seen the Cardinals in this area use it. I believe the openings are too small for them to access the seeds in the tube. The Grackles do not even attempt to use it. It is designed to let small birds (Finches, Sparrows etc.) access but not larger birds. It's a good product. Easy to clean/fill and it keeps out the squirrels.

It keeps out grackles and starlings. But it also keeps out cardinals. Only small birds can get in.

Hi Jean, yes this is stainless steel. Works pretty good if the bird isn't over 15-16 lbs. The one negative is that you have to go "fishing" for the handles, as they tend to drop down in your pan. I still prefer a stainless rack with handles. Hope this helps! Cynthia

I don't have a blackbird problem. The larger cardinals, orioles, rose breasted grosbeeks, etc all feed there right along with the yellow finches and chickadees. No problems. It is so sturdy you'll not regret buying one of these feeders.

Yeah! Starlings and grackles are too big to land on this feeder. I've had mine over a couple of years and have never seen those birds on it. Haven't seen cardinals on it either. Just the smaller birds. And my area gets LOTS of starlings and grackles and crows!

I would try a wild bird store that carries these feeders, I have gotten parts in the past from my local bird store..they clean and repair these type of feeders....not sure about ordering parts

I don't think crows can cling to the feeder. I use chicken scratch to feed jays and woodpeckers. Helps keep them away from my other feeders.

I'm in Western NY and use a premium songbird blend. I stay away from anything with cracked corn to discourage grackles and blackbirds from bullying the chickadees, nuthatches and cardinals I do want to attract.

Here's some info on keeping pigeons away: http://www.backyardchirper.com/bird-info-237.htmlWe have two of the Brome feeders and some mourning doves; I've never seen a dove perch on our feeders. I think you'll be happy with the Brome. David, Great Falls, VA

I believe that it is. I usually see gold finches and house finches in mine. I have a lot of cardinals come to my other feeders, but not this one. I do keep it on a covered porch.

I love your poetry. In answer, yes the feeder mesh is stainless steel. We have had our feeder for some time with no rusting.

They are metal, as are the end caps. The metal perches are no problem in the Michigan winter. This is the best upside down finch feeder out there.

There are not currently any accessories for this feeder. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I tried a plain plastic wild birdseed feeder, but it was too light and birds spilled more than they ate. I have had great success with a shallow dish with a long hook that is attached to center of dish and threads through a dome over it that helps with weather and also acts as a squirrel baffle. It is also made of plastic, but the long combination screw/hook component adds enough weight that birds don't spill worms as they land. I bought the feeder from Lowes, but there are probably many out there. Having a dish to put worms in decreases breakage of worms too unless you rehydrate them which I never have to do as the birds empty feeder daily.

I believe this feeder is intended for outdoor wild bird feeding. At least, that is how I use mine.
