Immediately struck by the quality. It looks and Feels sturdy and well constructed.It's incredibly easy to set up, just follow the instructions.It's super easy to empty, I can do it with one hand.And, it's adjustable! I can easily reposition the height if I want to.It is a bit pricey but exactly what I wanted and I'm impressed by the engineering and quality.Will purchase a second one soon

This seed tray is wonderful. The garden under my feeder is much cleaner. The birds (and squirrels) use it as a second feeding station…you get twice as many feathered friends!

Most of the seeds from our bird feeders ended up on the ground attracting squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits - not a problem, until we saw a rat. The Seed Catcher Tray is awesome. It was easy to attach to the pole. Note the Pole must be one inch in diameter. We had to get a new shepherd's hook and I had to make sure the hooks did not protrude over the tray as we wanted to have two bird feeders, so we had to do some shopping to find the right combination. When the smaller birds feed from the feeders and drop the seeds, they fall into the tray and we get larger birds including cardinals, bluejays, and doves. When it rains, the water drains out from the holes in the tray. The info on the site is accurate. Highly recommend!!!!

We have been enjoying this birdseed catcher for about a week. It was easy to assemble, sturdy, attractive, and appealing to neighborhood birds who fly in, perch, and enjoy the seed. Yesterday, it took us just seconds to take it apart and them empty the seed hulls and rinse it out. Re installation was quick and easy. Excellent addition to our feeder. Prevents seed mess. Would make a great gift for any birdwatcher.

I mounted it on a Brome pole (no arms), and positioned the pole under a feeder that hangs from one of the four arms of another Brome pole.

Pretty durable item. I've had it out for a few months and it's holding up well. Kind of wish it was a little bigger because the sparrows can fire seeds out of the feeder past the edge of the tray, but it is catching a large amount of seeds, which the ground feeding birds find in the tray. It is surprising how much bird seed it's catching that formerly fell on the ground. I found it to be a worthwhile purchase.

For reasons of sheer size I had to return this item along with that the pole it was hoped for would have had to have been dismantled to attach the product. Shrubs and trees are adjacent to the feeding pole so this just simply wouldn't have fit even if it was a half moon only, it is enormous and I feel far larger than it need be for the average garden!

I’ve had this for a couple of years. It greatly expands the feeding area for more birds. I always feed sunflower seeds and this prevents the mess of hulls on the ground that get thrown out by the birds. Although it does have holes for drainage I still clean wet seed out after a rain and at least once a week when there is no rain. It comes apart easily by removing a plastic collar that holds the two halves together on the top. Paired with a torpedo baffle and nothing to jump from, no squirrels get in it. Great addition for feeding a large variety of foods. It’s pricey but if anything happened to I’d buy another one.

This unit works well as a overflow tray to keep some seed off the ground. Keep in mind that it has holes in it to allow rain water to drain. Some small seed particles will fall through these holes and still get to the ground or deck.I also use mine as a party tray with a little extra seed, nuts, and peanuts purposely placed in it for the dove, blue jays, and other larger birds. Sometimes there will be almost a dozen birds sitting on or in it eating up the goodies.

Overall this is a good product. Reading reviews on other products, this seems to be the one to get as it is more durable than pretty much any other option. Where it could use some change is on losing seeds. First the drain holes are larger than I'd prefer. Perhaps more holes but smaller would be best. Also the two halves of the catcher don't line up very well. There is an 1/8" gap between the two halves running down the center.Perhaps if one had a lip that went over the other side, it would be an easy fix. Even better, they could design it so that the left side of each had a lip that covered the other side. That way both parts would be identical, and they'd have no extra inventory for an upper and lower half.To close the gap on mine I used two small paper clamps to hold them together. They do fine, but I wish they weren't needed. I expect they'll rust over time. Here is an example of what I used:https://www.amazon.com/Hongri-Binder-Clips-Paper-Clamps/dp/B092LV2J1M/ref=sr_1_5?crid=374NI65JLN39R&keywords=paper+clamps+small&qid=1671458255&sprefix=paper+clamps+small%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-5Also I've read in other reviews that some people were disappointed that they had problems with this because they didn't have a 1" pole. I was able to use this with a 5/8" pole I got on Amazon. If you're interested, give this a try:First you need some 3/4" pex pipe and some duct tape. I had some scrap pipe so I was lucky. You need just 5" of pipe to make this work. If you don't have any, maybe a neighbor does.1) Cut a 2" piece of pex and a 3" piece. That is all you'll need.2) Then decide where you want the bottom of the tray to be on your pipe.3) Put one "single" wrap of duct tape on the pipe. Now if you slide the 2" piece of pex onto where that tape is you'll have a nice snug fit. If you want it more snug, add just one more single wrap. I used two and its really tight. In fact I had to use pliers to get the pipe over the tape.4) Now you can attach the lower bracket/knob of the tray onto the pex pipe. Screw it down, to get it snug.5) Place the remaining 3" piece of pex onto the pipe above the piece you just put on. You don't need the tape on the upper pipe as the lower piece will hold everything. This upper piece of pex is just there as a spacer so the upper bracket/knob has something it can hold on to.6) Put the tray parts into the lower bracket. Put the upper knob/bracket on and tighten it up.7) You're done.It may be that the 1"pipe could be more sturdy, but if all you have is a 5/8 base this will work just fine. It does for me.Hope this helps.

I mounted this just below my feeders and above the squirrel/raccoon baffle. It works very well. Several birds, including mourning doves, can easily sit in/on it without concern for collapse. It is easy to remove the trays for washing, just loosen the top clamp and slide it up, and remove the trays. You will have to have a way to slide this onto your pole for initial installation, but then it is easy to manage. My only complaint is the price. Nearly $50 seems kind of steep.
