Re: New from Cheshire

The plastic tube allows the feeding of fine seed which would otherwise pour out through the mesh!
The mesh is for nuts ,so you can attract more Types of bird to the different
foods
Re birdseed cheap is not better it usually contains lots of cheap pigeon food
wheat, maize etc.that smaller birds cannot eat so it is left, as this makes up to a half of the mix (in some cases) it is not such good value
Quite a lot of birds feel safer on the birdtable
Mesh metal or plastic? metal lasts longer, up to your pocket, both need to be kept clean
Still not sure?ask away
