Initially, I used a "chicken" feeder with Jack (feral/homer) and seed went everywhere. It also was a great poop catcher when he roosted above the feeder.
For the loft, I switched to the flat top, economy wood feeders. They worked well, but the fantails used the tops for display areas and, even in the 20 minute feeding session, caused a lot of poop.
The third feeder worked like a charm. It's the all metal grill feeder from JEDDS. The price threw me off a bit. Turns out, you really do get what you pay for. I did have to do a little sanding around some rough edges, but the feeder works great and the birds seemd to love it. Plus, because of the shape, it's impossible for any of the birds to sit on top. No poop accidents, and easy to clean.
