I have never before had a Nyger seed feeder, because I figured the seed would fall out too easily. I was tickled to pieces to find at Tractor Supply these neat, colorful little balls that, untwisted, become feeders! The bottom half of the feeder becomes a nifty little 'catchall', with a hole in the bottom for drainage, that catches all of the seed that makes its way out, and the birds eat from that as well.
Below are two pictures of my little ball, which the goldfinches and chickadees absolutely love, next to one of my suet feeders (currently occupied by little Mr. Mockingbird,who has made himself a new member of my family). The first picture shows a female downy on the suet, with a goldfinch on the ball. On the second is one of our male downys.
(Poor picture quality - only have the camera on my phone. One day ..... )
