Adjus-table bird table

Need a table to keep pigeons from taking all the food from other birds
The table has 3 levels. 2 are no good as the pigeons can still get onto the table. The final setting is so low to keep pigeons out but birds like blackbirds and similar sizes can’t mske it.
Good quality but not what was required..
Probably needs a fourth level.
Very disappointed.

Very disappointed. I don't consider magpie and crows as small birds. They feed even when adjusted to smallest opening.
Very difficult to clean as seed goes between plastic tray and wood.

This item was purchased for me xmas 2017. Practically from the start Jackdaws, Wood Pidgeons all delight in the seed I put out for 'the smaller birds' who don't get a look in. I am disappointed considering its name Ajus-table, keep larger birds out.

I love Starlings, and they will be very welcome to use this well made, high quality bird table. Easy to assemble, looks great.. I just hope it deters the dozen or so white doves that visit daily. Never the less , I'm really pleased with this product...

RSPB response: Thank you for your lovely review, we are pleased to hear how much you enjoy this bird table and that you are also feeding the Starlings!

My problem is jackdaws scaring the smaller birds and eating all the seed! At first this table worked a treat, but after 4 months the jackdaws and collared doves have worked out how to get seed off the table

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with this table. We are aware of a few reviews regarding larger birds figuring out how to get into the table, and are therefore researching any changes that can be made to the product to prevent this.

I have a normal bird table, this adjustable bird table plus feeders in the trees for smaller birds. This bird table certainly keeps the magpies, pigeons and Doves off which is what I wanted it for. Yes the Starlings can get on there but there are no where near as there used to be as they tend to eat off the ground before going to the table. Robins and Blue tits happily use this adjustable bird table. I am very pleased I got it and it was worth the investment.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, we are very pleased to hear that the Adjus-table has meant that you can feed the smaller birds without the larger birds taking all the food.

Starlings can still feed no matter what setting, the food is gone within minutes. Small birds don't get a chance because of the greedy starlings. The only time they give up is when the food is all gone. Don't waste your cash on this product.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, I am sorry you are unhappy the Adjus-table, however Starlings have suffered a huge decline in recent years and are a red listed species. We would always encourage people to feed starlings if they visit your garden.

Like another reviewer said this was a big investment for me as I love to feed the birds but my problems are pigeons and starlings. I was hoping that this bird table would be the answer and all the smaller birds, robins, Bluetits ,finches etc would be able to get a lookin. The pigeons don't stand a chance but the starlings were straight in no hesitation. So a lovely solid and well made table but unfortunately a bit of a waste of money for me as it didn't solve my problem.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, I am sorry that you are unhappy with this product. Starlings are a red listed species, and their numbers have dropped drastically in the past decades, which is of course a concern. We, as a conservation charity, endorse helping starlings wherever possible.

Easy to build and the whole thing is of excellent quality and easy to clean. However, this was a big investment for me as I get loads of pigeons, jackdaws and magpies that clean me out; the pigeons can't get on, but with a struggle the magpies can and the jackdaws do easily, even on the high setting. Am gutted that I spent all this money when it hasn't fixed the problem I bought it for and there was nothing wrong with my old table.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear that you are impressed with the quality of the table, we do use a UK manufacturer who offers excellent build quality. In regards to the larger birds getting to feed when it is set the highest, we have to say this is very unusual as most large birds cannot use it on the top section, giving up for an easier meal elsewhere. We are going to look into the design to see if there is any amendments we can make to disadvantage the larger birds further.

If you want a substantial, well made and easy to assemble bird table look no further. The wood is of a very good quality and well treated with preservative. The instructions are easy to follow and the result looks very smart.

Took a little while for our garden birds to get used to it and on the mid level the pigeons have not been a problem. Yet it is a bit expensive but happy to know I'm supporting such an important cause.

Have had he bird table for a few days now, on the middle setting magpies are still able to gain access, so have now put on the top setting.
The birds seem to be getting the hang of it now, although we still have starlings who are able to gain access, but at least the wood pigeons are deterred. the table is extremely well made and I also invested in the squirrel baffle and the reinforced base so everything is o.k. No problem cleaning as the roof can be just lifted off and the tray also, very easy.

The pigeons and magpies were constantly eating everything before the smaller birds got a look in......
Not anymore! This table has fixed that problem instantly (although it is funny to watch then trying to figure out how on earth they can access the food!)
Looks great, and is so easy to fill up with food and keep clean, really worth the money.

Table was put out Wednesday afternoon on the middle setting. Monday morning a crow was happily feeding. Now on top setting, hoping blackbirds can still feed.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review. During our testing Blackbirds were certainly happy feeding on the top setting. The middle setting is for people who wish to stop woodpigeons etc but allow slightly smaller birds such as jackdaws or collared doves for example.

This is a lovely looking bird table. I bought it because I wanted to prevent larger birds (wood pigeons, magpies etc) from gobbling up all the food before the smaller birds get a look in. So far so good. I've currently got it on the middle setting which provides plenty of room for small birds to feed and so far I haven't seen any large birds land on it. However, they can still feed from the bits that drop off onto the ground so nobody will go hungry.

The table was very easy to assemble using an electric screwdriver although I ended up with about 6 screws leftover so I think too many are provided in the pack. However, I decided to screw these in at various points around the table and have used them to hang feeders from the table. In order to clean the table, you lift off the roof and slide the plastic tray up and off the central pole - very simple.

The table appears sturdy and looks like it will stand up to windy conditions.

After examining, sorting parts and screws. Then a read through of the instructions it's very logical to assemble. One gotcha is the fitting of the braces. The instructions seem to imply that both braces are fitted at once with the 70mm screw, then use the 30mm screws to attach to the legs. The smaller brace needs to be attached to the legs first before the larger brace is screwed through the smaller brace to the upright. Otherwise it is impossible to screw the smaller brace to the legs.
For one person assembly I strongly recommend a power tool screwdriver. It is rather unwildly otherwise. Even for a two person assembly I would use a power tool for easiness.
Highly recommend this bird table it looks great in the garden, and is easy to adjust for the size of birds you wish to attract.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review. Use of an electric screwdriver will be helpful but bear in mind not to over tighten. Pine is a soft wood and if over tightened with a power tool it may affect the purchase for the screw. We are glad you enjoy the product and will review the instructions.
