Hi Everyone,
I just started looking for a Haven/Caged Nut Feeder that will prevent the Common Grackles from reaching at the nuts. It's like a tube haven feeder but has the mesh you normally see in a nut feeder.
I was wondering if anyone out there has purchased one of these and had good lucky keeping Grackles and Squirrels from eating the tube up in days. If there was any location on the feeder where a Grackle could reach the inner mesh with it's beak they would figure it out quickly so I'm looking for all around protection from that long black beak.
These type of feeders seem rare but I did find a good selection of them on this link:

I can't tell by the photos if they would deter a Grackle.
Can any recommend one or another haven nut feeder that worked for them?
Thanks!
