Originally I was going to use the full 2’ length of pipe for the body, but I didn’t know if the food would hold. The hoods are working great to keep the food from pouring out
My husband made one very similar years ago. For the perches, you can make 2 holes. The 2nd hole is ⅛" just below the top one so, BEFORE putting the top on, you put the ziptie IN the bottom hole and OUT the top hole--it's very secure then. These PVC feeders would have lasted for 100 years had it not been for SQUIRRELS chewing at the pvc =\
We've made (husband actually =]) several of these. I vote on putting in just the BOTTOM 4 feeding perches. The birdies will land on the top 4 perches and as soon as the feeder is half empty, those birdies are screwed--so to speak. Also, if you glue the bottom on, there's no way to thoroughly clean out the damp, moldy seed? Otherwise, excellent!
I’ve already seen squirrels climbing down the rope from the top. So I’ll need to add a baffle on top or switch to a steel cable that’s not so easy to climb. Thanks for watching!

That turned out really nice. I like the fact that it will probably last a long time. That thick PVC is strong.

Yes!! Great idea. Can’t outsmart the squirrels.

Great video. Thanks for sharing
Sorry, I didn't see that you're in a dry, less "moldy" part of the country! That probably makes a difference =]

What a creative idea, should make it difficult on the squirrels and raccoons, we will try it!
