does this feeder have seed flow on both sides?

Yes, it does. they are slots and don't let the birds waste as much food as if it was a flat surface. It is amazing.

Yes it does:-)The spaces are small enough to be easily accessible to the smaller birds yet not clog. Finch feed or even regular wild bird food easily fits in the feeder and flows nicely. Whole kernel corn or pellets not so good. I live in the desert and even in the severe wind, I do not lose much feed, if any, when the feeder swings. (It doesn't swing much because of it's weight and design). Also, the birds cannot easily sling seed out the tray because of the small dividers and the depth. Large birds like doves and the like cannot land on this feeder. Hope this helps:-)

Yes, the feeder is identical on both sides and the ends (suet baskets) are identical too.

Yes it does. The Red Bellied Woodpecker's bill is long enough to reach in and grab a peanut which made me very happy. I did purchase a similar bird feeder (Brown from Home Depot) that had a larger tube middle and less curvature to the cage and the Grackles could get the seed then. I was actually thinking of purchasing another one of these so that I could have more seed types out. Hope that helps. :-)

Yes it does. It has two additional feeders other than the main paper compartment.

Some seed may fall through the mesh when filling the feeder. Once filled, little or no seed falls out - even in windy conditions.

no, the openings are too big. does great with sunflower seed. allows the bird to pull one seed at a time.

My son said he had to twist it a half turn to get the top off. Look at the bottom and you'll be able to see which way the slots run. Good luck. It's a great bird feeder.

Hello Bobbie...the answer to your question is "no." These little birds are having no trouble reaching the seeds. The only trouble they will sometimes have is waiting their turn as this feeder is very popular. I recommend purchasing two of these feeders. Happy Birding.

Hi Kelle,No, this feeder only let's you have one feeding program. Good luck!Sylvia

The only seed lost is whatever the birds have left on the tray. The feeder closes when squirrel puts any weight on it. This is the second identical feeder like this we have bought and it is the best one we have had.

It doesn't. The holes don't drain the tray. I periodically scrape any wet seed out of the platform. Most of the time the seed is protected by the roof, but my sprinkling system sometimes gets the seed wet.

There is a clear plastic round seed diverter that sits inside of the bottom of the reservoir at the level of the seed ports. Is that diverter there or upside down? You can see it at the port level on the feeder photographs.

The holes allow mostly small birds, but there is enough seed that drops to the ground to feed many others. The advantage of the feeder is the seed capacity, it holds a huge amount. As far as the seed getting wet, I had this feeder out all winter and spring so far. The seed stayed bone dry!

Yes, and there are plenty. My issue is that it rains a whole lot here, and heavy at times, so the sides let the seed get wet. If you had it in a dry climate or under a porch roof, this would be an awesome feeder!

There are larger No/No feeders than this seed ball. However, they are mesh tube-style feeders, not in this ball shape.

No, it's only on one side! Great colors! Picks are long lasting, and well worth the money!

Well, the base is deep enough (actually birds can walk in there) that only a few seeds fall to the ground but the same birds eat them after that. Besides I covered half of the openings so there's a controlled seed flow. My real problem is with a pigeon that knows there are seeds on the ground at any given time, it eats the seeds and leaves me with droppings. Other than that, I like this feeder very much.

I don't really know, but for this feeder I don't believe you need a seed tray. Seeds do not come flying out of this type of feeder like they do others. We have had a few seeds sprout but it's almost nothing.
