I've seen that type of feeder and it would be easier than mine for
woodpeckers to perch on it, yours has those perches all around each
feeding port, mine has no perches, however woodpecker's legs are such
that they can grab on to most anything as they march up and down tree
trunks. Hummingbirds don't need to perch to feed, in fact I've never
seen them perch when feeding, not even from flowers... occasionally
they'll perch on my wire fence.

You've already sent me photos of things around your house so I know
you feed birds. Some people need to make snide/negative comments but
never prove their claims.
