It's just a cheap feeder from Walmart, I think it was around $11 and it's isn't very pretty now, kind of gray. Since the bottom is perforated for drainage, it also came with a blue plastic insert so that it could be used as a hanging bird bath or to feed small seeds. It's not very big, I'm guessing maybe 12" inside diameter, it's a hexagon shape. It's probably not more than 3" deep.

I think I just had BOSS and sunflower hearts/chips in there. I had bought an expensive finch mix with thistle and some other stuff and the only thing it attracted was Cow Birds :-( I've been feeding for 3 or 4 years and this is the first time I've seen them at the feeders. Here is another feeder it ate from periodically and I know it was nothing but sunflower hearts/chips in there. It was an ugly, old feeder and the raccoons finally pulled it down enough time to break it, thank goodness ;-)
