Don't bother with the clear plastic tube feeders, all the birds do is
scatter the seed all over the ground, they grow and you have a weed
problem.

If you remember to microwave each batch of seed for about a minute before
you put it into the feeder, the seeds will be inactivated and you won't
have a weed problem.

You still have a potential problem with rodents when the seeds are spilt :-(

You have a potential problem with rodents whatever you feed birds, whenever
you feed them. Squirrels love bird food.
