Woodlink Coppertop Thistle Mini Tube Feeder — Copper Finish, 1/2 lb Nyjer Capacity, Rust-Resistant Steel Mesh

The Woodlink Coppertop Thistle Mini Tube Feeder is a compact, copper-finished nyjer screen feeder designed for clinging finches and small birds, holding up to 1/2 pound of thistle seed.

Made from fine steel mesh with a rust-resistant copper-colored finish, this mini tube feeder blends attractive design with practical function. The fully assembled unit includes a metal hanger and a sliding roof that makes refilling and cleaning straightforward. Its closed-tube construction keeps nyjer secure while the small mesh openings let clinging birds feed comfortably without allowing seed to spill.

How does this feeder keep nyjer seed from scattering?

The feeder uses a tightly woven steel mesh tube and a closed-base design so there are no open ports for seed to spill through. Drainage holes around the bottom tray let water escape, preventing soggy seed and reducing waste. Together these features keep the seed where birds can reach it while minimizing mess below the feeder.

• Fine steel mesh prevents seed escape and supports clinging birds
• Closed-tube construction with no open ports reduces scattering
• Drainage holes in the tray allow water to exit

Is the feeder durable and weather resistant?

The feeder is finished with a rust-resistant aluminum copper coating that adds visual appeal and helps protect the metal from the elements. The robust mesh and metal roof are built to withstand regular outdoor use and visiting birds. For longevity, hang it in a sheltered spot and clean periodically to remove old seed and debris.

• Rust-resistant aluminum copper finish for outdoor durability
• Sturdy steel mesh construction supports frequent use
• Simple maintenance extends service life

How easy is it to fill, hang, and clean?

The top roof slides up along the attached hanger, creating a quick-access opening for refilling and cleaning without disassembling the feeder. It arrives fully assembled and can be suspended from any standard hook or small branch using the included metal hanger with eyelet. Periodic rinsing and a gentle brush through the mesh keep feeding holes clear and seed fresh.

• Sliding metal roof for fast refills and cleaning
• Includes metal hanging cable with eyelet—ready to mount
• Fully assembled out of the box for immediate use

What birds will use this feeder and how much seed does it hold?

Designed primarily for small clinging species such as finches and siskins, the fine mesh gives multiple birds room to perch and feed at once. The feeder accommodates about 1/2 pound of nyjer (thistle) seed — a common amount for compact backyard feeders, balancing visibility with less frequent refills. Its scale and design make it ideal for attracting smaller songbirds without drawing larger species that can dominate open ports.

• Best suited to finches, siskins, and other small clingers
• Holds approximately 1/2 lb of nyjer (thistle) seed
• Mesh spacing supports several small birds feeding simultaneously
