Gbekery LY-YXSY-13IN-1 Metal Hanging Bird Feeder, 4 Ports, Green

For backyard birders looking to welcome finches, chickadees, and nuthatches while discouraging squirrels, the Gbekery LY-YXSY-13IN-1 combines four feeding ports with weight-activated closures. Its hanging design suits a yard, garden, or porch where small wild birds can visit from multiple sides.

A metal outer mesh surrounds a clear PC tube, keeping the seed visible and making the feeder easy to identify in an outdoor setup. The green finish adds a natural accent among garden plants and trees.

Key features

Four openings and matching perches give several small birds access to seed at the same time. This can help reduce crowding around a single opening, making the feeder a practical choice for spots that see regular visits from finches, chickadees, or nuthatches.

The weight-activated mechanism closes the seed ports when it detects weight over 0.7 lb, helping deter squirrels and heavier birds from reaching the seed. It is designed to discourage squirrels rather than guarantee exclusion, so placement matters: hang the feeder out of their jumping range for best results.

The outer metal mesh is designed to resist chewing, rust, rain, and sun, while the clear PC tube provides the seed container. A lift-lid top makes refilling straightforward, and the detachable base can be removed for cleaning. With a 2-pound capacity, it holds a useful supply of seed for a backyard feeding station.

Practical tips

The feeder measures 5.04 inches long by 5.04 inches wide by 12.2 inches high and weighs 1.6 pounds. Its hanging format works for a garden branch or another suitable overhead location, a hanging wire is included. Position it where small birds can reach the perches and where squirrels cannot jump onto it, as the weight-triggered ports are part of a deterrence design, not a fully squirrel-proof barrier.

Buyer feedback often appreciates the feeder’s appearance, construction, and straightforward refilling, and some report success keeping squirrels away. Experiences with squirrel resistance vary. Comments on the lid staying in place are also mixed, and some buyers feel the perching area is small. These perspectives make placement and the intended use for small garden birds important considerations when choosing a feeder.

How to use it

Lift the top to add seed, then hang the feeder in an outdoor spot with access for visiting birds. The four perches provide several feeding positions, while the clear tube makes the seed visible. For squirrel deterrence, choose a location beyond jumping reach. When the feeder needs cleaning, detach the bottom to access the base, then reassemble it for continued use. Regular refilling and cleaning help keep the feeding station ready for backyard visitors.

Compared with a simple open tray, this feeder offers enclosed seed storage, multiple ports, and weight-activated closures in one hanging format. It is suited to people who want a dedicated feeder for small wild birds and prefer a design with features intended to discourage squirrels.

Final verdict

The Gbekery feeder brings together four feeding positions, a 2-pound seed capacity, a detachable base, and weather-oriented metal construction. For a garden or porch set up to attract finches, chickadees, and nuthatches, it offers a practical hanging station with a weight-activated deterrent and convenient access for filling and cleaning.
