The garden dreams nut feeder barrel is a high quality unit designed to feed small birds while preventing larger birds and mammals from stealing away all of the feed. It has an outer ring of thick metal mesh before an inner ring of fine mesh. The outer layer should stop anything too large from accessing the food stored in the inner ring. It can be placed on a flat surface in the garden or hung using the attached handle. Food can be replaced easily using the top lid, chained to the unit for security.
