Really need four feeders to keep the birds happy, thanks to the squirrels we're down to two and one of them is starting to show its age so ideally need three! Best one we got in Lidl, had it for years, top and bottom are ceramic, plastic tube is more substantial than most and the openings/perches are metal but its showing its age, the plastic tube is starting to get a bit brittle. Annoying thing is Lidl had them in about a month/6 weeks ago but didn't need them then . . . . do now and no idea when they'll be in again.

This is the damage the squirrel did to one of the feeders, 2nd one was just as bad



We have a dome to prevent vermin climbing the pole, I'd dropped that a couple of inches to stop the magpies standing on it to get at the feeders, the new height must have been in leaping range for the squirrel. Its back to original height again.
