This gift idea is for the person on your list who loves to watch wild birds. This bird feeder is economical and offers great features like squirrel proof mechanisms. This feeder will prevent squirrels from opening it and taking out seed and if hung from a squirrel proof wire can be completely protected from the pesky creatures. This feeder also allows you to monitor levels of seeds since it has clear plastic sides. Feeders must be washed bi-weekly with a warm soapy water solution. This feeder will hold 6lb of seed and there are six perches for birds to feed from. This is a great gift idea for anyone who enjoys watching birds in their yard and for those who want squirrels to stop eating all of the seed.
