Kaytee Finch Station 2

Kaytee Finch Stations make attracting and feeding birds easier than ever! Finches don't require elaborate feeding stations. Instead, they love to cling to soft mesh sock feeders and prefer them over traditional tube feeders.

Unique designs hold extra seed so feeders need to be filled less often Sized and designed to fit more birds comfortably at the feeder Complete with 2 replaceable socks, the feeder is quick and easy to fill. Can hold more than 7 pounds of food allowing more birds to comfortably eat than ever before.

  • Dimensions 4.87" x 9.25" x 9.25"
  • Weight 0.65 pounds

Product Description

Kaytee Finch Station 2 holds more than 7 pounds of Finch food. The unique design provides more surface area allowing an abundant number of birds to comfortably eat. The refillable feeder comes with a durable cable that is looped and ready to hang. Enjoy more bird watching opportunities with fewer refills thanks to the super-sized, weather-resistant dome reservoir which holds extra seed, automatically keeping socks filled longer. Each Kaytee Finch Station 2 comes with four socks: two for use right away and two for replacement.

Important information

Directions

Fill with Nyjer or Kaytee Wild Finch Food. Unique designs hold extra seed so feeders need to be filled less often. Reseal package and store in a cool dry place, preferably in a sealed container. This will protect against insect infestation that can naturally occur with any whole grain seed product.

Customers like the quality of the wildlife feeder. They mention that it's made nicely, holds up just fine, and has a sturdy elastic band at the top. The design works well and attracts a large number of birds.

"...but it has already been through strong winds and snow, and it's held up well...." Read more

"...Each sock has a sturdy elastic band at the top which hooks securely onto the bottom of the seed storage chamber...." Read more

"I didn't realize it was just the station and 4 empty seed socks. Good quality but remember to buy the seed." Read more

"..."O-rings" that attach them to the seed reservoir are poor quality - brittle, not much elasticity. I got 4 socks so I could swap out when cleaning...." Read more

148 customers mention130 positive18 negative

Customers find the wildlife feeder easy to fill. They mention it holds several days worth of Niger seeds, and is handy to fill from the top. They also appreciate the reservoir and the two socks that fill up quickly. They say the extra thistle seed means less frequent re-filling.

"...is easily poured into the feeder once it's hung, and the two socks fill up quickly...." Read more

"...The sock fits snuggly into the yellow top which makes it easy to fill. It comes with two socks do can rotate the socks...." Read more

"...That's to be expected, though. It's incredibly easy to fill...." Read more

"...Here's why; it is easy to fill, keeps the nyger seeds dry, and I think the bright yellow attracts more finchs. I hope this is helpful." Read more

70 customers mention66 positive4 negative

Customers find the wildlife feeder easy to use. They mention that it's super easy to set up, fill, and hang. The concept is easy enough, and the socks are easy to attach to the attachments inside. Customers also say that it holds seed without spilling everywhere. They say it'll be the best and easiest to maintain wildlife feeder.

"...Assembly is easy. The item comes with 4 socks so that covers any need to replace a sock down the road...." Read more

"...The feeder is easy to set up -- all you do is turn the thing upside down, stretch the elastic tops of the two "socks" over the rings in the filling..." Read more

"...It was easy to assemble and fill but the top allows rain to penetrate the extra seed which renders that feature useless...." Read more

"...It’s easy to attach the 2 (they provide 4) socks to the attachments inside...." Read more

62 customers mention59 positive3 negative

Customers like the capacity of the wildlife feeder. They say that it holds quite a bit of seed, the top container holds extra seed that drops down as the birds feed, and the extended food space that gravity feeds the socks. The space is big enough on top to pour the feed in so it goes down each sock. They also like that the dome allows for extra seed and protects from rain.

"...socks as well as the chamber just above the socks, really holds quite a bit of seed...." Read more

"...The hopper holds quite a lot of feed, so it is definitely popular with the finches...." Read more

"...The space is big enough on top to pour the feed in so it goes down each sock with very little feed sitting at the top...." Read more

"What I like most about this feeder is its large capacity. I don't have to constantly visit the feeder to refill. The price is excellent as well." Read more

98 customers mention45 positive53 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the wildlife feeder. Some mention that it holds an enormous amount of very expensive seed, and is more cost-efficient than losing it to the wind. However, others say that it ends up with some waste of very inexpensive seed.

"...It's starting to get expensive!..." Read more

"...Overall, this isn't a bad feeder, and the price here on Amazon is very attractive (I saw the same feeder for sale at a local hardware store for $17)...." Read more

"...It ends up with some waste of very expensive seed. Little goldfinches will not eat it off the ground...." Read more

"...the recycled seed doesn’t have time to go stale, and this is more cost-efficient than losing it to the wind.Happy bird-watching!" Read more

97 customers mention48 positive49 negative

Customers are mixed about the socks. Some mention that it comes with two replacement socks and they are readily available. However, others say that the socks are too big and the seed falls on the ground.

"...and that they provide extra socks so you can switch them out...." Read more

"...mesh fabric used for the socks is a bit too open, so that thistle seed tends to fall out as the feeder is filled and as birds hop around on the socks..." Read more

"...Assembly is easy. The item comes with 4 socks so that covers any need to replace a sock down the road...." Read more

"Bags do not hold finch food - holes are to large and it falls out from the bottom" Read more

58 customers mention35 positive23 negative

Customers are mixed about the appearance of the wildlife feeder. Some mention that it's beautiful to watch, like the design, and looks nice against the green in the garden. However, others say that it looks ugly, the design is poor, and it'd be better to find a more elegant feeder.

"This is a great design. The sock fits snuggly into the yellow top which makes it easy to fill. It comes with two socks do can rotate the socks...." Read more

"...Not a shepherds hook. I feel the design is poor because of the length of the wire. This was an unfortunate return for me...." Read more

"...They also seem to like the color yellow...." Read more

"...The whole family is here all the time. The young baby birds are cute, they come too...." Read more

49 customers mention9 positive40 negative

Customers are not happy with the waste produced by the wildlife feeder. They mention that the seeds just poured out through the holes. Some say that the socks have a tendency to leak out a fair amount of seed, and that the seed ends up on the ground.

"...the mistake I made of filling it inside the house -- the seeds spill out through the mesh...." Read more

"...Nyjer seed isn't cheap, that was a bummer! Seems like quality control wouldn't let a product sell in that condition...." Read more

"...The mesh of the sock is somewhat loose, however, and it drops as much seed as the birds eat, so I have to refill it daily given the size of my flock...." Read more

"...However, there was a huge amount of thistle on the ground under the feeder. For that, it gets only 1 star...." Read more

My experience is like the picture except the hopper is yellow instead of green (which I consider a plus).
5 Stars
My experience is like the picture except the hopper is yellow instead of green (which I consider a plus).
I got this and filled it with wagner's nyjer seed. It replaced a plain single finch sock that I filled with walmart sold nyjer seed.I am very pleased with it, I was also very pleased when I saw the one I got was yellow. I had found some information that claimed you can attract more goldfinches with the color yellow.I have seen mine look like the picture except for the color yellow instead of green.I also like the fact that unlike plain sock feeders this has a hopper at the top, that way I can fill the hopper and the socks stay full as the birds eat. When I first got it I noticed some feed made its way out of the hopper and I assumed it was because of me using it wrong, but upon closer inspection I see there are 4 clips that hold the clear part of the hopper on tight, 1 of the 4 appears broken, so I will buy another one of these (I need another feeder anyway) and return the old one if I find the new one doesn't have a 4th broken clip. With the number of finches I get the hopper goes from full to about 1/5 in a single day, so I have to fill it everyday. The hopper holds quite a lot of feed, so it is definitely popular with the finches.I put a long clear finch feeder right next to this one and they only use it if there's no room for more finches on this one (or if there's an aggressive finch that thinks it needs more room). Maybe I should have just gotten a 2nd one of these, but I like to give my birds variety.Edit: It hasn't been but maybe 1 or 2 days since I wrote the review and already the birds have emptied the hopper and about 1/4 of one of the socks in a single day. I bought the 10 lb bag of nyjer feed when I bought the feeder, and I just emptied that bag. It has been about 8.5 days (.5 is because I'm typing this in the morning and I got it shipped in the afternoon) and I have already used up the entire 10 lb bag of feed. I have another type of finch feed that I haven't used the whole bag of yet. Guess I'll get to see if it is the feed or the feeder that makes the birds flock to this thing. I used the last of my old bag of feed which filled maybe 1/4-1/3 of the hopper, then filled it the rest of the way with the other type of feed, shipping on my new bag of feed is expected for 2.5 days from now, so I figure I'll get about 2 days worth of testing on the 2nd feed type. I'll probably update this review again once that test is done. It seems I get more finches than other people talk about or post pictures/videos of, maybe its because I live in a small farming town while most of the others probably live in urban environments. I'm debating getting a camera and taking pictures of the feeders in action to upload here, if I do they probably won't be super high quality pictures because I'm not rich enough to get a high end camera.Final Edit: I'm pretty sure its the feeder and not the feed that attract the birds because even with me using my 2nd type of finch feed (which isn't 100% nyjer like the first one) I still got a ton of finches. This time I actually got MORE finches, but I think that is because I just had a snowstorm pass by. After the snowstorm the finches emptied the hopper and emptied about 2/3 of each sock feeder leaving both socks at about 1/3 full lol. My 2nd less popular feeder got a lot more action today too.As far as my experience feeding finches it seems that they prefer feeders that are very close to trees. When I moved my feeder pole closer to a tree the number of finches at my feeders increased. They also like to go in big groups, so if you want finches you need a lot of places for them to perch and eat, if you only have a small finch feeder then they will pass your house up and go somewhere else. As far as feed they seem to prefer nyjer or a mix of nyjer and sunflower hearts. They also seem to like the color yellow. I'm just giving these tips for people that would like to get into finch feeding because it took me at least half a year before I started getting large numbers of finches because I did almost every one of those tips wrong :p I've also read they like coneflowers that have gone to seed. I'm debating growing some coneflowers at my house this year. Coneflowers also apparently lure hummingbirds (and pollenating bees) before they go to seed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful what you wish for...
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2022
I'd seen a couple of goldfinches in my yard and bought this hoping to attract more. Boy, did it work! About 2 weeks after I put it up, it's regularly swarmed by goldfinches. I've had up to 10 hanging on to the socks at once, with others waiting in the nearby trees. The only other finches I've seen so far are some house finches. They will eat from this feeder (though they prefer the regular feeder), but they seem to have a harder time holding on and getting the seeds than the goldfinches do. I enjoy watching the goldfinches, but they are going through about 1 pound of nyjer seed per day. It's starting to get expensive!
Overall, the feeder is quite good, though it could use a few minor tweaks. It hasn't been up long, but it has already been through strong winds and snow, and it's held up well. I like that the socks can be removed for washing (very needed, since the birds tend to, uh, befoul them), and that they provide extra socks so you can switch them out. However, on one of the socks, the rubber circle that holds it on to the plastic has come apart after hanging for just a day. The feeder can be difficult to fill. You basically need three hands: one to hold the cap/lid up, one to hold the feeder steady so it doesn't sway out of the way, which makes you spill seed all over, and one to hold the seed container as you pour it (and that's assuming it's a container you can hold and control with one hand). Just a little clip or something to hold the cap up while you fill it would be hugely helpful. The cap can also be annoying to try to line up to get back on correctly, especially if it's hanging above your eye level. Do not make the mistake I made of filling it inside the house -- the seeds spill out through the mesh. I did not have the issue with the spillage that another reviewer had -- I didn't find it excessive, as long as it happened outside and not on my floor.
