Unfortunately Emma, they have not used it. I have placed it in various parts of the garden. At first I had it with my usual feeders and they did not want to know so I moved it to a completely different place away from the feeders and they still will not use it. The only explanation I have is that may be the seed is not fresh. These wreaths are made over in Holland, where my daughter-in-law gets most of her flowers from. Apparently they sell like hot cakes over there. It's such a shame as I had such high hopes of seeing the birds enjoying it. I suppose I will just have to dismantle it and put the seeds and nuts into my feeders and see if they are tempted. So I would think twice about spending your money if I were you. The only other thing I thought of is that part of the wreath, as you will seem has the colour red in it and I seem to remember reading somewhere that the birds do not like this colour. Anyone else heard this?

After all that anticipation I am afraid my feathered friends did not use my Christmas present  I had to take it apart and put the seeds into my feeders and what do you know, it disappeared in a few minutes  The millet sprays I gave to a friend who has two lovely lovebirds

Too bad gardengirl, but those 2 beautiful birds enjoyed the millet I'm sure.
