All metal, can be sterilized.
Great feeder, as it is all metal and can be sterilized between fillings. You must sterilize finch feeders to avoid the eye disease that is wiping out so many goldfinches. I also like the small size because fewer birds feed at it at a time, limiting any possible spread. I sterilize mine by pouring boiling water over it after washing thoroughly in soap and water and then let it sit in the sun to dry for the UV. Sometimes I soak it in bleach or vinegar, too. This thing is rugged and the birds love it. Such sweet little birds and delightful musical chirping -- it's heartbreaking to see them sick and dying. This feeder is the answer for me. I haven't seen any sign of conjunctivitis yet.
