Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Backhanded compliment: It works so well that you may not see squirrel spin off it. If you want to see squirrels flung out by centripetal force you need to watch to many you tube videos. The splt second it takes to fling off the squirrel punctuates hours of bird feeeding happily. If you hoped to be entertained by the schaedenfreude of flung squirrels, you may be disappointed because it is unlikely you will see them. Perhaps they learn and don’t return or perhaps the flinging is so quick I miss it. If you turn away for a moment, suddenly all you see is a swinging feeder and a bewildered squirrel on the ground. In addition to the spinning ring, the design (large diameter and long smooth sides) deters squirrel who can dangle by hind legs and feed form lesser feeders. Finally, it seems very solidly constructed and durable. As a lapsed catholic I feel slightly guilty for being so disappointed about the lack of visible suffering by the squirrels implicitly promised (but not guaranteed) by this feeder.
