2 In 1 Triple Tube Bird Feeder
Just when you think you’ve seen every possible variation of a tube feeder, another one comes out.
The 2-in-1 Triple Tube Feeder isn’t just a tube feeder. Nor is it just a triple tube feeder (which lets you have three different types of seed available at once). No, the 2-in-1 Triple Tube Feeder has an extra twist. It’s the 2-in-1 part.
What they mean is that you can switch from the tube being used for bird seed and sunflower seed to having it used to thistle and Nyjer seed, which finches love.
If you’ve ever provided thistle or Nyjer seed, you know that they are tiny, tiny seeds. If you put them into a bird feeder design for regular seed, they fall out quite easily. For this type of small seed, you ideally want a feeder that has very small feeding ports so that the finch has to pull the seeds out.
This feeder gives you the best of both worlds. And when you consider the fact that it is also a triple-tube feeder, you’ll see that it is extremely adaptable to whatever type of bird feeding environment you want to provide.
Pro The three tubes and the ability to switch between regular bird seed and thistle seed makes it extremely versatile.
It has a built-in squirrel baffle.
Con As with all tube feeders, the seeds near the feeding ports tend to get a little moist during inclement weather.
Since some of the feeding ports are located partway up the tube, it is possible that a squirrel can grip the hanging wire with his feet, hang upsidedown, and reach the seed ports.
Note: It looks like this exact model is no longer carried. The closest match I can find is made by Duncraft and is called the Triple Tube Haven.
