I love the look of this feeder. However, if there is wind, it swings badly, the lid lifts up, & the seed cylinder post is not stable. I have had to twisty tie the lid down at the entry holes for the cable. The weight of the cylinder feed is still too heavy for the little pole to keep it upright, especially if the whole feeder is swinging in the wind. I have had to take a hooked pole from another feeder, put it down thru the lid, attach the holding cup to that, & screw a heavier holder to the outside of the feeder. I think it will work. Can send a pic if wanted.
