Perky-Pet® Finch Feeder With Flexports®

Attracting goldfinches, purple finches, redpolls, and siskins to your yard with the Perky-Pet® Finch Feeder. This feeder includes our patented Flexports®, which offer benefits for birds and you. The flexible rubber port cover is uniquely designed to prevent seed clogging and is the perfect size for small finch seed. The design also allows birds to feed in a more natural position. With 1.5 lb of Nyjer® on offer, your backyard birds will be in good supply. Plus, the bright yellow accents on this tube feeder are sure to catch the eye of thistle-eating birds as they pass by.

Double Feeding Positions

Acrobatic goldfinches have no problem feeding while perched upside-down. This feeder caters to that unique ability by offer dual feeding positions. They can feed both right-side-up and upside-down from the comfortable T-shaped perches. And with six feeding stations, this feeder is easily able to accommodate multiple birds simultaneously.

More Comfortable For Birds

Standard finch ports are incredibly small and can be difficult for birds to grab seed from. This feeder’s unique Flexports® offer more feeding angles than standard finch ports because they’re flexible. The design allows birds to feed at an optimal position outside of the port, creating a more natural feeding position and offering better visibility so they feel safer and stick around longer. Birds won’t be able to resist visiting over and over!

No Seed Clogging

Each of the six feeding stations is equipped with our new Perky-Pet® Flexports®. The gaps in the flexible cover are the perfect size for small finch feed. Not only does this design make it easier for birds to grab seed, but it also prevents clogging, which is a common problem with standard finch ports.

Weather-Resistant Ports

Rain, snow, and other adverse weather conditions are the primary ways that bird seed falls prey to mold and mildew. That’s why we’ve designed the Perky-Pet® Finch Feeder with it’s unique Flexports®. The flexible rubber port cover offers better protection from weather, so your seed stays fresh and dry longer.

You get what you pay for with this feeder. Food molds in the bottom and has to be dug out. You can’t remove the base so cleaning isn’t easy. Don’t buy!

The seed clumps and gets moldy in the bottom. I don't see a way to get the bottom off for a thorough cleaning. Not easy trying to pry the cement like moldy seed with a bbq skewer. It should be easy to clean so the birds don't eat the bad seed and get sick.

Turn daily to keep seeds from clumping

Jul 2, 2023
Finches hang out on these perches for a long time. I have it hung where squirrels can’t readily have access, so flexports haven’t been damaged, and birds seem to like them. I had a problem at first with seeds at the bottom getting wet and moldy; if they are between lower seed ports, they have nowhere to go and won’t ever be consumed. So I give the feeder a couple turns most days to circulate the seeds and keep them from forming clumps. Seems to work so far.

Bought this feeder on Monday, on Tuesday had at least 6 male and 3 female Goldfinches feeding from it. The only 2 things that I don’t like about this feeder, are the plastic perches, which will probably break off in the near future and the plastic hanger loop, which will also probably break in the near future. I solved the hanger loop issue, simply by replacing it with a metal hanger loop from the bird feeder that this feeder replaced. The plastic rod fits through the existing holes and the stainless steel hanger loop, fits through the hole on either end of the plastic rod. This is working better than the plastic hanger so far. Wish I could replace the plastic perches with metal perches, but for now, they’re working. Flex ports are a good idea and if they hold up, I’ll be happy.

This is a great feeder.

This is a great feeder. The birds love it. BUT: the plastic Flexports are too weak. I think the birds tear them up, not the squirrels. There should be a replacement source. The yellow plastic hanger broke early also & I replaced it with a wire one. As I said, It's would be a great feeder if it was beefed up some.

Disappointed in the Flexports
2
Sep 11, 2022
I love Perky Pet products and service, but I'm very disappointed in this feeder. I thought this feeder would be good on my deck and not leave a mess of seed hulls but the nyjer comes too freely out the Flexports, covering the deck and the ground below. The rain soaked the seed and black mold or algae quickly filled spaces on the Flexports and around the bottom of the feeder. I had to dump the seed and wash it but even then I couldn't get the black stuff out of the crevices. It wasted a lot of expensive seed, and was inconvenient to use.

Terrible design. The flex port is a bad idea, the squirrels just poke there noses right in and feast away. Really really bad. I want the original one way better and squirrel proof.

I bought this feeder at a local store but returned it immediately. Maybe it's me, but I had to put the perches in, and they don't lock in place. They fall right out, and I'm not going to deal with that. It should be possible to lock the perches in place.

I am sorry to hear that! The perches do not lock in place and will move a little bit but should not be falling out.
