How tall is this feeder? How many pounds of bird seed does this feeder hold? Is it 10lbs? There is a typo in the description. Thanks!

I would say that it does hold approx 10 lbs of seed. The height I am not sure of but I can measure it for you tomorrow. If I was to guess...take a suet cake which is 5 inches in height add about 2 inches to the bottom and 4 inches to the top you are around11 inches high? I was very happy with how big this feeder was for the price of it.

I have this feeder mounted about 6 feet off the ground. I have never seen a bird larger than a flicker (small variety woodpecker) at it. The mesh is very closely spaced for smaller beaks, and holds nyger seed very well without spilling. I've gotten lots of finches, especially goldfinches, at mine (I live in Cincinnati, OH). Lots of house sparrows and a few wrens. You'll love this feeder! It's one of the sturdiest I have.

The feeder holds 3 quarts of food and I fill it once a week. I have set it so that large birds like starlings cannot feed from the feeder. Not sure on cost I have never calculated that but knowing it is 3 quarts to fill should help you estimate that answer.

It is an amazing feeder. I feed tons of birds.I only hang the feeder. Works great for me.Richard

My feeder is about 3 feet below an overhang on a second story window. Birds come all the time. I have to fill it about once a week. It is by far the best feeder I have used (and I have tried about four different types).

We've had no problem with hanging a 10 pound birdfeeder but also believe we put in longer screws to be sure. We installed it on the outside of our deck railing and it reaches far enough out that bird seed does not fall on the deck. Also, this product has gone through different climates and has kept its appearance.

Not sure about exact measurements, but, most small birds ( sparrows, finches) have no trouble using this feeder. I like it because the starlings and grackles do not fit through the fencing.

The tray is about a half an inch deep, and then it sits inside of the base of the feeder, so you probably get another inch on top of that for seed and for birds. The birds in my neighborhood love this feeder!

Smaller birds can reach the food. Ie grackles and starlings. Blue birds and full grown cardinals had no luck getting into mine. Sqirrels did shake it a wee bit. Better than any feeders except the No-nos.

I used wild bird seed in this feeder but you could certainly use black oil sunflower seed. It is absolutely one of the best bird feeders I have ever purchased. There is no way a squirrel can get to this feeder. It is easy to fill, easy to clean. Would definitely recommend. One bad thing would be if you purchase a larger version of this -- be aware that it will be heavy, especially when filled.

10 inches. I am no longer using my two trays as they were too inviting for doves to sit all day on them. I am back to sweeping up the shells below and wasted seed. You can have mine for cheap if you like

I haven't seen the larger birds on the perches. I think it's too hard for them to balance on them. It's a very popular feeder that works great keeping out squirrels and larger birds, such as grackles, blue jays, etc. It's a great feeder!

They sell different heights. As the one you asked about says re height: OurPets Right Height Cafe Feeder, 8-Inch. Please look at the Q&A; section. These questions have been answered.

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!

Hi, In answer to your question. I have not seen any bird droppings in the feeder, as the food gets towards the bottom, I just dump what few stray seeds are in there and fill with fresh seed. They really are still shy and do not sit inside for long, and I still enjoy this feeder and get lots of birds everyday.

I estimate the Stokes Select holds a little over a quart of seed. Unless we have an unusually large number of finches feeding, we rarely fill the feeder more than halfway full. It is working out well for us.

A couple cups. The "standard" size holds about a quart. Be aware that if you're providing black oil seeds (which our Northwest birds like best) that they may get hung up and have to be pushed down. This has not happened with the standard size. (I now use the mini for providing other kinds of seeds.)
