A couple of years ago I think it was, I picked up this high capacity seed feeder from Duncraft, with an eye to attracting goldfinches. I reasoned that a full feeder would pique their continued custom. And, after all, shouldn't two pounds of seed last a lonnnnnnng time? Of course, the goldfinches ignored it. The House Finches, on the other hand, did not. And they quickly demonstrated that on a cold winter day, or any day for that matter, a pound of seed can vanish between dawn and dusk. This feeder continues to be popular, but it is positioned from a a squirrel-resistant station on the north side of the house, and is reasonably possible to clean. So it has grown on me as well. Recommended? I think so. Just make sure you can fill it conveniently. And budget extra sunflower seed...
