Payback

RollerFeeder will pay for itself over and over by eliminating seed loss to squirrels and large pest birds. The seed usage is highly efficient because the feeder is designed for small birds like chickadees and nuthatches that typically fly in for a single seed at a time or for birds like house and purple finches that will perch but not hoard seed. It will not permit sparrow flocking and seed hoarding by other nuisance birds. A birdfeeder that is accessible by squirrels, house sparrows, and large pest birds can easily be pilfered of 1-2 pounds of seed every day, if not more. A very conservative estimate of just 1 pound of pilfered seed per day multiplied by 365 days multiplied by 20 cents a pound ($10/50 pound bag/black oil sunflower) equals $73 savings. In many cases, this is probably a low estimate which will pay for itself in less than a year.
