As one of the first smart bird feeders, there's no doubt this feeder has a stellar five-star rating with over 400 reviews.

"A good friend gifted this birdfeeder to me and I have received hours of enjoyment from it," commented one reviewer. "I installed it on a tree so it is very sturdy. The squirrels visit often and even a raccoon, but it has not been harmed at all. This year, the cardinals have pretty much taken over, but I don't mind a bit as they are so colorful and active."

Another bird lover added, "This feeder was a gift from my mom. I absolutely love it. Love getting to see all the different birds that come to my backyard and all their different personalities. My kids also really enjoy seeing them and have become a bit protective over it. If they spot a squirrel they want to run it off so they don't take the seed. Hope to add one of the bird houses to my yard in the future."

Currently at a special price, this smart bird feeder is a no-brainer for you or that birdwatcher in your life.
