How musch seed does this feeder hold?

If the wind blows the large nut that holds the cage to the rest of the feeder may come loose. The feeder holds enough to last several days if you have active birds.

Not sure how much weight it is able to hold , but we have two tube style bird feeders hanging on it - each about 14 inches filled with sunflower seeds with no problem. The feeders tend to rock when the wind blows, but the pole/hook stays sturdy.

Not very much actually. I have to fill it daily but it is great for the nuthatches who prefer to feed upsidedown. They can easily cling to it and the squirrels never give it a moments thought. I have the larger Brome with a cardinal ring which holds lots of seed (several days worth at a time) and that is also great, but the nuthatches can't feed as easily on it. We bought the Mini for that reason.

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.

I don't know the exact weight limit, but it is very heavy duty. I have a triple layer bird feeder that holds about 6lbs of seed. With that, there has been squirrels and raccoons in the feeder and this holder has not bent. I would say it would hold 15 - 20lbs.

We hang it on a shepherd's crook with a squirrel baffle about halfway up the pole. One of the best feeders I have ever owned.

It will hold anything as the sections are open at the bottom. I love this feeder because it is so big I only have to fill it every 5 days or so.

It can hold 15lbs per side per hanger arm according to the enclosed instructions/guidelines. I have some pretty hefty recycled plastic feeders that hold 10lbs of seed and it has no problem with them at all.

As long as it's not a really heavy one. Something plastic. I currently have a tube feeder(for thistle or sunflower seeds) on mine. If your feeder is wood, it will be heavier & I doubt it would hold it.

I wouldn't buy this feeder. The seed gets wet on the inside and once it heats up the seeds start to sprout. It's all glass and no way for the seeds to air out. I threw mine away a month after I got it! �

Susan, the feeder probably weighs close to 2.5# . It is built to last. You and your birds will love it !!

I myself just use regular birdseed, it has some sunflower seeds in it. I can't keep mine full enough.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

i'd say about a liter of seed. best thing is that it is build solid, the squirrels haven't damaged it.

I use mine with a very full bird feeder. I estimate it will hold up to 10 pounds.

I have found it very sturdy. I have two long seed feeders, a suet feeder and a water tray and have had no problems. Even in high winds while the feeders sway a great deal, the pole remans strong.

The cover is about 1 in. out. It covers pretty well, seed doesn't get too soggy. I put a second tray about 1/2 in. under the feeder that is sticks out about another 1 in. or so to catch all the stuff the sparrows throw out and that one gets pretty soggy when it rains.
