Jan 11, 2024
Loved this feeder when I first got it because it held a variety, and lots of seed. The perches started falling off after the first season, and after 2-3 years, over half of the ports are missing (stupid squirrels) and the warranty is only one year. I am replacing with a few less expensive squirrel proof feeders.

Love the feeder because it holds a lot of food so i don't have to fill it often.

Love the feeder because it carries a lot of food; frustrated with the feeder because the hook on top has pulled out due to heavier birds such as pigeons and doves. Perky Pet was great about replacing the feeder when this happened. Solution - I only fill it 3/4 full now. We'll see how that works. i also hot glued the hook to the plastic top. Company was very responsive to my complaint and sent me a new feeder. Good customer service!
My original had two problems that were solved.

My original had two problems. A couple of the perches kept falling off. I lost about half of the flip ports, most probably due to squirrels. I called Perky-Pet and they sent me a new feeder. My simple solutions: (1) Put some super glue on the perch ends and put them in that way. They do not fall off. (2) I bought the Perky Pet 16" plastic baffle for my pole mounted feeder. No squirrel has been able to get at the feeder. (3) I only use sunflower seed. I glued the flip ports as they came and all have been intact for over a month. I can only say that I am 100% impressed with Perky Pet customer service. After I called about my original feeder they sent me a new one for free. Amazing. The design of the feeder is great. However, you should be able to screw in the perches so that they don't fall off.
Nice feeder with some embellishments

I have had one for about five years with no real problems.
I installed mine on a 4x4 wood post and drilled a hole in the top and inserted about six inches of pole into it.
I also added four hooks to the side of the wood post to hang suet feeders, or additional feeders to it (not hummer feeders)
I put a 6" round furnace duct over the post so squirrels can't climb it. I just purchased a new one to replace it because the sun has done it's thing to the old one.
The only thing I wish you would improve is to make the perches "T" shaped so the birds aren't standing sideways to the ports.
It is a good size, so several birds may use it at one time.

Happy to see others had the same problem with squirrels and the seed ports. Even with a metal cone baffle under the feeder, the squirrels have managed to chew through the plastic and empty the feeders. I was getting ready to order a new one( this was our second) but will look for a different design. I did love the amount of seed that the feeder held.

We are sorry to hear this Kathleen! To help prevent squirrel damage, we recommend to try and hang your feeder at least twelve feet from any tree trunk or limb and at least four feet up from the ground. This will prevent squirrels from either jumping from the tree or up from the ground onto the feeder.

Great feeder with the exception of the flip ports. They easily break and all the seed runs out. Drops it from a 5-star to a 2-star.

We love this bird feeder and Perky Pets, we lost one of the ports when cleaning the feeder. Called customer service and they do not sell replacement ports so they offered to send us a new feeder for no charge! Awesome customer service!! Unheard of today!
