My husband and I have two of these...Be sure to get the two-sided one, as more birds can feed from it...We use a mixture of fruit & nuts and sunflower seeds...We get a lovely variety of birds.
eta:..I meant to add that we were able to get ours from our local Agway store and they also ordered one for us...These feeders are very durable....They come with a pole or you can also hang from a shephard's hook which is what we do...There are tension adjusters on each side which are very easy to adjust and the feeders are also squirrel-proof.

I've had 2 of this feeder for years - and they are strong - and squirrel proof b/c it has a spring (you set the strength) so if "S" gets on it - the perch snaps down hiding the seeds.
However,,,,,,,,,,,not wanting to go out in the cold? Birds eat a lot in the winter & they come from near and far for food. I have to replenish mine every day - blizzard conditions - even twice. Don't start something (feeding birds) unless you plan to continue it till Spring. It's NOT fair to the birds.

@goldensrbest No matter how large the bird feeder you will have to keep going outside in the cold. I have one larger than the one pictured, and I have to fill it about every week and a half to two weeks. It isn't fair to the birds to let it get empty and not refill it.

We feed the birds year round,it's so nice to see them all. I have one feeder but the FAT squirrels are always swinging on it and bringing it down. I mostly feed the birds on the ground,I have an area off the patio under an evergreen I spread the seeds at. We also put out woodpecker blocks of suet and seed. We have a squirrel blocker dome over it otherwise they'd make off with that too.

@goldensrbest - Have you tried Yankee Droll Bird Feeders? They have one that holds 3 lbs of seed and either 6 or 8 feeding stations. Think its called Big Top Bird Feeder
