Is this sturdy enough to use for scooping bird seed?

Yes, it would be, and it would store nicely collapsed in the bird seed bag or container in which you store your bird seed.

It is, but keep in mind that it is collapsible. So, I think if you don't fill it to the top, it should be alright .

I'm not sure that 'sturdy' is the word I'd use, it is only held together by the two 'rack' pieces having some tension against the drip pan. One 'rack' piece has a notch so that the other fits in securely. While it isn't 'sturdy' per se, it is firm enough to be perfectly usable. I have never had issues with it collapsing when either placing a bird on or taking a bird off, nor any step in between. I would purchase it again. I hope this helps answer your question.

I wouldn't rate it at either extreme - more along the lines of in the middle gauge - it is sturdy enough to hold any bird I can think of. The only issue I have with it is the way it sits on the stand - not secure and prone to tip over

Yes it would be suitable. I have even small softbills using it. The only thing is: You got to sand down the acrylic perch inside of the feeder to make it more secure for pearching, because it is too slippery for the birds.

Yes it would, but if you filled the box with as much bird seed as it would hold I don't know if the floor would support it. Remember it needs to be on a flat hard surface.

I don't know. We have mixed bird seed in it. There is a bar that you set to a certain weight. Anything heavier than that weight will drop the bar and close the feeder.

Possibly could be. Might be a little difficult because it has a cone shaped bottom. We have ours hung from a shepherds hook. It is a great bird feeder and is a good price.

This probably would t be any sturdier. It's very pliable. We made bird nest necklaces at a functions and it worked good for that but we need pliable wire to wind. Hope this helps.

Hello, It can pick and clean bird seeds. It cannot pick up shells from a peanut. Best Regards, Royal Blue Shipping Corp

It would hold thistle seed OK but I think it is more designed for larger seed. It is what I call a well feeder. The seed falls into a well at the bottom where the birds can take what they want. It would work. It is a very well built feeder, I have had one for a while and have had no problems with it. I hope this helps

It is designed to hold plastic gourds for martin houses, not bird feeders. So the answer is no.

This Tidy Bird No-Mess Feeder is designed to hold bird seeds. If you ask: will this also hold water, the straight answer is yes, it's possible. But to be frank if you ask me personally, I myself won't just buy this item for the sole purpose of providing water for my bird(s). Here are my reasons: 1. It will hold only fairly tiny amount of water to start with, because if you put a bit too much then the water would overflow - its design is good to hold bird seeds but a bit too flat for water; 2. I guess you ask this question because you want to put it on the outside, not the inside, of the cage in order to give some extra cage space for the bird(s); if this assumption is correct, then there is a much better item to do that - it's shaped like a clear long tube with tiny opening on its bottom for the bird(s) to drink off, and clipped on plastic mountings to the cage wires. The water inside this long tube dispenses as the bird drinks, and the gravity works wonder not to cause liquid spillage. It is available online and in any local pet stores with much lower price compared to this No-Mess feeder; 3. And to continue above reason, this is my paramount objection to buy this No-Mess Feeder solely as a water holder: it is simply quite expensive for the price. Just as its own ad says, "Food stays inside the feeder. No more wasted and soiled seeds." So the obvious purpose of buying this No-Mess feeder is, besides less cleaning to the floor of course, in the long run you can potentially save some bucks because your bird seeds won't splatter out to the floor. Not so with water though, you won't save very much dough in the process. Just a food of thought, and I hope you like my opinion.

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.

I purchased one as a gift to hold up a bird feeder. It looked like it should work that way, clamping on to a flat rail around a deck. But have not seen it in action. DC

Absolutely not! I ended up making it a squirrel feeder. They actually climbed inside of it and knocked the seed. All over.

...interesting question. If you were pouring finer bird seeds, such as millet or niger, the larger funnel in this set would work... However, these funnels are relatively small and I don't believe they'd work for normal wild bird seed mixes (those with corn, sunflower seeds, etc.). In general, I'm not terribly pleased with this set of funnels... they're of poor quality. I would look elsewhere.

I use it strictly for small sunflower seeds. I do not purchase my food online...shipping costs would kill me!!! I feed 50# every three weeks. Enjoy your birds!
