We are in Eastern Pennsylvania. What type or blend of feed do you recommend for this tray?

I would check with the Audubon society on what seed mixture is best for your area. I know the Home Depot near me carries seed blends for the region I live in. The openings in the bottom screen of the feeder are small enough to hold most seeds while still letting rain drain through. Very sturdy feeder.

I live in Northern Louisiana and we get many types of birds that eat seeds so I use black oil sun flower seed. I usually put seed in the feeder morning and late afternoon as the birds seem to really love the sun flower seed. I have other feeders that will hold small types of seed.

I love this tray feeder and so do the the birds. I use ONLY sunflower seeds as most birds love them, even goldfinches. I live in FL.

I'm in Western NY and use a premium songbird blend. I stay away from anything with cracked corn to discourage grackles and blackbirds from bullying the chickadees, nuthatches and cardinals I do want to attract.

It can be used for any feed while most feeders fit a specific type of seed. In Wisconsin we use it for "critter feed" and place it on the ground. Can also use bread pieces, cob corn.

I am in Texas. Think you should check with local pet shop like PetSmart or Pet Co for recommendation for your area. Because of the mesh bottom, you will need larger seed so they don't just fall through to the ground. Hope this helps.

Not sure about that yet, as it's still summer. We have always used the tin/aluminum feeder sitting on heat plate, but will try heat tape on this. Depends on the temps I guess!

Use 1 pound of hamburger or venison and use the press you can fill all 4 trays. It takes 4-5 hours just check the strips and see if they are dried like leathery and it will be done. Check the directions and it explains it all pretty well.

As you can see in the graphic, the feeder is suspended under the dome. I would think a 4 sided feeder would work fine unless it is unusually large. I first purchased the small dome, but then purchased the large dome, and it is much more satisfactory for my needs. I hope this helps. Blessings. navydoc

We used a heavy duty shepherds hook attached to the deck. It gets very heavy when full and with wind will want something sturdy. Awesome feeder. We have 3.

If you have a Home Depot or Lowes store they carry a clear plastic dome for $10.00 that works perfectly with this and a Shepard's hook. You hang the dome on the Shepard's hook first and then this feeder under the dome. That's what I use. Perfect!

This works great! I like it better than the 8 oz. feeder.....less waste! I bought 2 purple feeders and gave one to my sister- we both love and enjoy it! Go for it!

Run warm water over the bottom of the tray first. Some foods pop out easier than others.

The fish feeder works excellent with small and medium pellets. I have a large acqurium and even sometimes use large pellets and I have never had a problem. I happily recommend the fish feeder.

Both ERVA(http://www.naturehouseinc.com/) and Droll Yankees make excellent shepard's hooks for hanging feeders. When full of seed, this feeder does get quite heavy. I will fill the dome about 1/2 full to keep the weight down.

feeder tubes and cover, tray is plastic- there is metal around the feeder opening.

Woodlink sells a tray accessory that is attached with small nuts, and bolts. There are two holes in the bottom bracket of the feeder that will allow for this to be done- if you look closely under the bottom feed port on the feeder you can just make out where the small bolt would attach the tray accessory item# WLTUBETRAY

You should be fine with this feeder. There is a little sliding "door" that adjusts for the size of the food and the amount you want to fall out per feeding. The big button in the back will allow you to test the food quantity that is dropped before you have to wait for any timer setting you have set. I've used this with very tiny turtle pellets and with the turtle sticks. It does well with different types of food. The only thing I didn't like it with was fish flakes.They tend to stick because of the moisture. But pellets and sticks work just fine in my experience.

From the Droll Yankees website page for the CJTHM15G feeder: "Note: Attach a Droll Yankees A-6T Seed Tray or Omni Seed Tray to the feeder base to attract an even wider variety of birds. Use a Squirrel Guard over the feeder to baffle the squirrels."

I had an mr2 and an mr1 and it fit good. It functions great too. Check to see if the mr2 and mr100 have the same feeder profile. They probably do. Another addition I'd add to the setup is a metal angled feed neck. They have them on amazon and its good upgrade.
