Get it if
Tube feeders in a wet climate: it is a bird-safe moisture trap added to the seed, and the listing's case is that it stops caking and sprouting between cleans.
Skip it if
Skip if your feeders are under cover or you empty them weekly anyway — this solves a damp-seed problem, not a dirty-feeder one.
