Rusto All-Metal Bird Feeder

Beautiful little feeder! It’s so bright and cheery! The sturdy metal construction should last a long time. It’s very easy to assemble. There is a L bracket for mounting or an adapter that is so easy to just put on top of a pole! There is an additional bracket for a camera if you decide to use one. The seed cover will help reduce waste and keep the seed in the tray. The birds seem to like it. The night light is nice.A very good quality bird feeder that has had much thought put into it to the design to make it something easy to use and long lasting. Very impressive!

The Richbird All-Metal Feeder initially presents as a premium product, but its true value becomes apparent when comparing its construction against cheaper, less durable models found at major retailers. Featuring robust, all-metal construction, this feeder is engineered to withstand seasonal weather and deter common backyard pests like squirrels, making it an excellent long-term investment.A major advantage of this design is its flexible placement. The feeder offers multiple mounting options, accommodating pole-mounting or secure attachment to a tree, fence, or wall. This allows for optimal positioning in any backyard setup. The most innovative feature, however, is the integrated camera mounting point. While the specific unit reviewed only included the mount (Richbird sells a camera-inclusive model separately), this addition adds significant appeal for birding enthusiasts who want to capture close-up wildlife footage.Assembly was refreshingly straightforward. The unit arrived securely packaged and went together quickly using simple thumb screws. The inclusion of clear assembly instructions—a detail often missing these days—was appreciated. I had the feeder assembled and filled with seed in minutes, easily setting it up on a pole in the yard.For customization, I was able to successfully adapt the universal mount by drilling two small holes, allowing me to secure an existing Blink camera. This modification provided a stable platform and a clear, adjustable view of the feeding tray.While our initial setup coincided with a quiet seasonal period, the overall construction suggests this feeder will last for years. The only minor design detail that seems functionally unnecessary is the built-in light, as most avian feeding activity occurs during daylight hours. Despite the current lack of visitors, we look forward to the fall and winter months when activity picks up, allowing us to capture some great footage for the family.Verdict: The Richbird All-Metal Feeder is a highly durable and versatile option, especially recommended for birders looking for a camera-ready, long-lasting solution.

This is a great bird feeder! It comes with all the bells and whistles! There is a spot to attach your own camera to so you can watch the birds when they come to feed. Made of metal and has a perch for the birds to stand on and a number of holes for the bird seed to be eaten from. You will need to purchase a pole to attach it to but would highly recommend for the bird enthusiast!!

This is a well designed and incredibly well built bird feeder. Nice looking too.Easy to assemble and install using the supplied wall bracket and mounting hardware. Also included is an adapter, should you prefer a pole mounting. In addition to ease of installation, the feeder is easily removed by means of a thumb knob at its base, making it convenient for cleaning and filling.The solar light built in to the roof is a clever idea, but I’m not exactly sure of the purpose it’s intended to serve since my birds typically don’t feed at night. Plus, I don’t want to make it any more obvious or attractive to the night prowling critters including the raccoons and bears that have destroyed several of my feeders. Being as well built and sturdy as it is, I think it would present a challenge to the raccoons, but the bears might be another story.The only other questionable feature is the grill type guard that covers the food tray.While it’s intended to keep the seed from being scattered, it may make it a little more difficult for the feeding birds.All in all, I think it’s a great feeder that should last for quite some time.

This is a wonderful bird feeder - by far one of the nicest feeders I have now. We always put feeders out in winter and this one is so much nicer than most of my other ones - being all metal is far more durable.I really like having the optional camera mount - though I didn't order it for that but I will be using as winter approaches. Right now it is not set up, but I am very excited to try that out.It is very easy to refill the seeds - which is one feature I always look for. And it holds quite a lot, too!This did not come with a mounting pole like it is pictured but my husband is handy and managed to find a way to pole mount it right outside our kitchen window so we can see it from our breakfast nook. This is an excellent quality product and I would order another.
