Larger than I expected. Also expected lots of activity but it seemed to scare the birds away. After a week birds came to feeders but stayed away from guard. As yet I’ve only seen a robin enter the guard. I hope after time it will get used.

Initially it seemed to work to keep out starlings but they persevered and found their way through the side of Guard.

Great quality. Works well. Worth the money just to watch the fat wood pigeons getting more frantic as they dash round it faster and faster! Blackbirds and everything smaller get in just fine.

Very easy to assemble. Pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it is.

Have screwed this to a fence with a Bird Buddy inside to keep away the corvids. Works brilliantly!

It does what is says I am however buying a clear perspex top to try and keep rain off food underneath to stop spoiling

It's very sturdy, which is why it isn't a cheap thing, and it doesn't really need to be pegged down as it's quite heavy. It deters pigeons, but unfortunately starlings can get in. It was intended to protect food for the robins in the garden. Usually, the starlings do leave some food for them, but it was a slight disappointment that they could get through the mesh. But it is the best thing I've tried or seen so far for deterring them, and Vine House always deliver very promptly.

Super, been meaning to get one for ages, so when the jackdaws and magpie started to be vandal's I decided it was time. Very pleased with it.

I'm very happy with this ground guard as it has dissuaded the local feral pigeons from invading my garden. It's used by blackbirds, starlings, robins and sparrows. I highly recommend it.

Once assembled it was quite sturdy. But the trap door with hinge was pretty useless to be honest. I found it very difficult to attach and then it detached easily when moved and seemed to fall off whenever I tried to open it. As I haven't got it pegged down I can just lift the whole cage to add feed. But it would be inco, and if you did have it pegged down.

This appears to be robust and despite its size is not visually intrusive given its green colour. Blackbirds can hop through easily enough, as alas are squirrels, hopefully they will get so fat on the amount of expensive feed they eat that eventually they won't be able to squeeze through. Rapid delivery as usuaul from Vine House Farm.

Well built and easy to assemble. It keeps out wood pigeons and pheasants although they reach through to get at seed near the edge of the guard. It does not deter squirrels which slip in and out without difficulty. most small birds seem to accept it without any problem, although chaffinches seem reluctant to enter.

This is great if you want to keep some food back for the smaller ground-feeding birds. It is very sturdy and quite heavy so other creatures can't knock it aside. I did find the other day that "someone" had managed to open the lid and knock it off its clips - unfortunately that was the night I didn't have the outdoor camera in the garden. I suspect it was a cat but I have now wired down the handle so it can't be opened. You can easily refill the feed tray without opening the lid by lifting the whole thing. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it.

Arrived promptly. Well-made, easy to assemble. Does the job - although a hedgehog seems to be able to get into it! PT

Keeps the pigeons away from the smaller birds’ food. Has made the smaller garden birds more visible, as previously food was scattered under the hedge, but this in turn attracted rats. Sturdy and reliable

I bought this to keep five pesky jays off the food so the little birds get some. Unfortunately, one jay seems to have been to WeightWatchers and can get in and scoff the lot. I've ordered the smaller Ground Guard so hopefully even Slimmer of the Year won't be able to get in.

very substantial & well-made, and as far as we have seen so far, very effective

Good service and it does what it says.

Sturdy little guard for a ground feeder. The birds like it! The fastenings are not very robust, but we have added a twist of rubber covered wire at each corner, which is holding the pieces together more firmly. Otherwise we are pleased with it, & it looks better than our tatty old wire guard.

Sturdy, and robust, very well made. Keeps out the pigeons and other large birds while allowing the small birds to eat. Also keeps them safe from neighbours cats.

Bought the guard with the larger openings. Works very well, blackbirds are able to get in and out comfortably and love the live mealworms we bought at the same time. The cage excludes the pesky pigeons and most of the magpies although the young magpies are able to get in. Fortunately we do not suffer from squirrels so cannot comment on how effective the cage would be against them.

Cage itself is very good and super easy to assemble. My only issue is that it does not stop magpies getting in and I did not realise this before purchasing. Description of the product clearly states is prevents pigeons (which it does) and I incorrectly assumed it would also prevent magpies.

Very happy with these. It allows the smaller birds to feed unhindered while the pigeons, jackdaws and crows are kept out. Great.
