BirdQuest Spiral Thistle Feeder, 17-Inch

Bring more finch activity to your backyard with the BirdQuest Spiral Thistle Feeder, 17-Inch, a specialized nyjer and thistle seed bird feeder designed for small seed-loving birds. Its distinctive spiral perch gives birds more room to move around the feeder, while nine feeding ports allow several birds to dine at the same time.

Unlike traditional tube feeders with individual perches, the patented continuous spiral design encourages birds to move along the feeder rather than immediately flying away. The copper-finish tube is designed specifically for nyjer/thistle seed, making it an excellent choice for attracting finches and other small backyard birds.

A patented twist-and-lock top helps keep unwanted pests from accessing the seed, while the removable bottom makes regular cleaning easier. The base twists off completely without screws, allowing convenient access for maintenance. The feeder can also be filled alternately from the top and bottom to help prevent older seed from remaining at the base for extended periods.

Built with aluminum and stainless steel components, this spiral thistle feeder is made for lasting backyard use and is backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
