Capability XXL Burnt Wooden Bird Feeder Weather Resistant Hanging Bird House

My bird feeder/ house was sadly destroyed by the recent gales, not helped by the fact the crows like to sit on it and it wasn’t designed for their weight. The base of the feeder was fine so I decided to get a wooden hanging feeder and drill it on to the top of the base as a replacement. The problem I had was that the majority of wooden hanging feeders are too small or the robes are not high enough which would encourage the larger birds - magpies, crows etc to destroy it. I eventually found an XXL size feeder on Amazon from a seller based in Poland (£35.15).

The feeder took a week to arrive, was carefully boxed up and included a sample of bird feed. It looks exactly the same as the pictures on Amazon.  The house measures 35x29x30cm and seems very sturdy. The tray is great as the sides are quite high which will prevent the bird suet from being blown off or getting wet. The roof is treated and has an overhang, again this will prevent the food getting wet or snowed on in the winter months. I can’t say how easy it is to hang, it does seem quite light, as I bought it as a replacement house. You do have to screw the metal hooks in yourself, for me that was a bonus as I didn’t want the hooks to be stick ing out. 

 I really like the house. It looks easy to keep clean, is well made and is the largest I could find. It wasn’t the cheapest one available but it ticked all the boxes for my birds’ needs. 

I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog post are my own.
