Perky-Pet® Deluxe Chalet Cedar Feeder

I bought one of these bird feeders from Chewy. The roof was coming apart out of the box. It seems to be held together with staples and pin nails with no glue. I went back to the Chewy website site and many of the reviews stated the same problems. Stop selling crap. I am trying to put exterior glue at all the seams to hopefully hold it together before I would attempt to fill it with bird food and hang it outside. A strong breeze and the thing would blow apart without the glue.

This is a well constructed cedar feeder. It looks attractive too. I just put it out two days ago and the birds are starting to notice it!

I have owned a few of these feeders. I make three modifications when I get them. 1) I cut and staple ( and silicon) pieces of wood to enclose the ends where the suet holders are. Otherwise, the seed falls out. 2) I replace the rope with steel cable with cable ties and make a loop with cable tie to ensure it doesn't slip out of the feeder. The rope makes me nervous about coming undone or rotting. 3) I attach branches to the underside to stick out and let the birds of all sizes land on them. I drill holes in the branches and put the screws inside the hopper area from underneath. The birds love this and many more can land and get "in line" for the seeds and suet. Having a suet holder on each end keeps it level. I really like these feeders.

The first one of these feeders I purchased fell off the hook and the plexiglass panels both cracked. Company replaced it / no hassle about it. The feeder itself loses a lot of seed from the 2 troughs and when it rains/snows the seed in the trays gets wet and clogs. Grrrr. Also neither one hangs right. Always a bit crooked no matter how or where it is hung up. I much prefer the large mesh/cling feeders but unfortunately, not all birds can use them. I do like the dual holders on the sides as I put homemade suet blocks in one and the other, I put whole in shell peanuts. This is why I rate a 3 star. Next time I will go for one that is better designed.

This is a great feeder and I highly recommend it to anyone. It holds plenty of seeds and is easily filled with the roof lifting off. The side suet feeders are a favorite of my visiting birds and the over hanging roof protects it from the elements. It is easy to clean and maintain. I have another one on the way to double my bird feeding/watching pleasure.

I think it looks better in person, than in the picture. Very sturdy and the cedar is a nice thickness. Not cheaply made by any means. Should last a long time. The sides to hold the suet are not flimsy, but solid. It's not small, so I think it will hold up nicely in the winter. Great quality and worth it for the price.

This is the best feeder that I've found. I can see if it needs filled from my kitchen window, 50 feet away. It is easy to fill, holds a lot of seed and birds can eat from all sides at once.

Bought this for my grandson,he collects them in his backyard,its a great gift for kids . He is 4 and its fun for him to use and easy to fill.
