## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it keep the rain off well?**
A: I agree with Judith, Dee.  I hang my suet so that it's higher up under the dome so the squirrels can't get to them.  The birds still can get to them.  I have 3 of them so far.  The wind is the only issue that would affect the effectiveness of keeping everything out of the rain.

**Q: Is this a feeder with a helmet.... ? Or just the helmet ?  
thanks for all the answers. I got both. It comes with it and it doesn't. I may order another feeder first. That way if I get the helmet and it is both, I have 2. If it is the helmet only, I add it to my existing.**
A: Complete:Songbird Essentials SESQ83R Hummingbird Helper Helmet Bird by Songbird Essentials$28.49    and i think we all love it as the hummers are shielded from sleet as well as from intense heat-- all the crazy weather the high desert offers.

**Q: is this polycarbonate?**
A: Not sure if polycarbonate or just a plain plastic. Very durable.

**Q: When in the sunlight over time, does the clear plastic change color/turn foggy?**
A: Yes, it does get cloudy over time, but it doesn't magnify the sunlight on the birds and the seed like it does when it is really clear.
