I thought that most everyone knew what it was, so I didn't elaborate. It's basically a wire hoop with wires hanging down..HOSP don't like to eat under wires apparently, so they stay away. Here is website that shows one and where to buy, but I just used two metal coat hangers and some picture frame wire and lead weights from my fishing gear. : http://www.sialis.org/halo.htm I have noticed that where I didn't put a wire, the HOSP will land and eat there, but where I didn't they stay away like the plague. I am not usually around much of the day to monitor, but the feeder hasn't needed filled in 24 hours now...nice! :-D Have a great day! Steve J.
