This is not to blame the manufacturer. The product description is 100% accurate. Previously purchased a set for myself, this order is for my mother because she liked mine so much.

This bracket is not only 18 inches out, but it swivels for easy refilling of the feeder. Instead of shorting you on parts, this vendor sends six wood screws and six anchors. It is easily adjustable.

The feeder is very sturdy metal and has a spring clip to keep critters from climbing inside. It looks like forged metal, which is what i wanted. Very durable and easy to adjust.

The metal has a softness to it, and has already begun to bend in the more delicate moving elements. The feed chutes are cheaply made. I am not able to arrange the birdhouse in the location i intended, because the ratchet will not settle and lock.

Very useful device to humanely scare away wood peckers from your home. Looks reasonably lifelike, although of course there's no motion.

Bought this to deter woodpeckers but packaging calls in “decor’. The birds are plastic.
