The guard came quickly and was easy to install. Unfortunately while it does slow down the grackles hogging up the bird food they still can reach through the guard to get to some of the food. I would suggest coming up with a weight based perch that would not support large birds sitting on it.

Hi Greg, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for sharing your experience — we really appreciate it 😊 We’re glad to hear the guard was easy to install and has helped reduce the grackles from dominating the feeder, even if there’s still room for improvement. Your suggestion about a weight-based perch is very insightful, and we’ll be sure to pass this along to our product team for future consideration. If you ever need anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out through Birdfy Chat, email, or phone support (available for US customers). We’re always here to help! Happy bird watching! 🐦 Regards, Birdfy Team
