How do you fill this feed? Does the top/roof lift upward? Are the containing walls - the plexiglass - removable so I can use for peanuts?

The top lifts up, idk if the birds could get peanuts out from the bottom tho, the gap at the bottom isnt to big (perfect for seed and sunflower seeds)

Yes - the roof just lifts off easily - it is just resting on top of the structure. The plexiglass is removable - it just slides into grooves on the side so it is not fastened to the main base unit in any way so you can easily pull them out.

It can fill up to the top which is at least a gallon, maybe more. The top lifts up for easy filling. We love it and the birds like it.

I have found that shake and water afterwards works best. It makes the feed trickle into the dirt :)

I just lift it off the suction cups, dump it out and refill. The suction cups stay in place on the window and the feeder just lifts off and slides back on.

The feeder is quite heavy when filled so the pole would need to be very strong and secure.

I use a rectangular type plastic scoop that you can pick up at at bird food retailers (any including big box stores). Lift the top up of the feeder and fill the scoop and open the slide on the bottom of the scoop. You can control the seed much better that way.

Not to my knowledge. It's filled from the top, so much easier for me to have it hanging from my multi- hangar feeder pole.

The height may be an issue. You can purchase plexi glass to fill the top space

You may need a little collar on the pole to keep the feeder from going more than a few inches onto the pole. Otherwise it would be hard to remove for filling.

Bottom does come off with Phillips head screws. My husband drilled out and put larger screws to make it faster. Also he drilled holes in bottom bigger so it doesn't hold water. Chipmunks will fit in and squirrels figured out how to lift top so we put a large piece of wood so they can't lift top. So far it's the best feeder we have!

Yes, the part that angles downward from the top comes off to fill it. It's like a grill/grid covering. It's very easy to fill-main reason I bought it. It works great.

Hang it with a flexible chain or cord verses a rigid one so that it hangs level. I have not had any leakage problems with it even during the Santa Ana Winds. This feeder is easy to clean and take apart...the best ever.

The only area open to the elements are the 4 feeding ports on the bottom. The upper part is metal & plastic. The area where you refill seed is closed when not being filled. I supposed if you had a lot of rain & left the seed for an extended time it would clump. But this is a tiny feeder, & mine empties nearly daily.

There is an opening on the top with hooks, You can barely see the hooks in the picture of the feeder. Unhook the plate and it swings out of the way for filling. I have seen my cardinals use this feeder.

The top is the only part that opens and then the turtle would have to get through the plastic contained filter... I don't think the it would be able to lift the top, it is pretty heavy. I hope this helps you!

You can easily fill thru the top. this is the best feeder i have had for my cats. the bottom is big enough so both cats can eat at the same time.

I think a nice little expandable awning with posts would be cute. LOL. It took 2 days for my feral to love this and we had a foot of snow this weekend and it did not go into the opening from the top. There's actually a lip when they step into the opening because it has thick insulation throughout the tube. My tube is on my porch which has a roof covering it so just the heavy sideways stuff gets on the porch. I think just change the straw cause they give you enough for like 4 changes and as long as you don't put too much in they get into the house away from the opening and stay pretty dry and warm. It's a huge hit at my house and I feel better cause she obviously had no place else to go.
