Very hard to clean due to the shape. Mine leaks. The orioles do like it, which is why I give it a 3.

I've purchased this feeder twice now and both times they leaked. The first time I thought it might be a flawed feeder, but the second one leaked exactly the same way. I do not recommend this product.
Really disappointed in this product.

Really disappointed in this product. Ordered from Amazon to replace an older oriole feeder. Thought it was going to be fine BUT, I can’t get it open to thoroughly clean it ( really have to work with smaller brush) and noticed this morning…it leaks like a sieve. Particularly between the bottom and the perch’s. Poor oriole was trying to drink the drips.
Looks nice but it just doesn’t work. Going to see about another style.
It works!!!

Ok, I've read all of the bad reviews, but....for me this oriole feeder is the one that works. Yes, it's a royal pain to clean, I have to use a long, small brush to clean the inside out and you have to be careful not to over tighten it because it's plastic. I've tried the flat pancake feeder, several times, for some reason in southern Arizona, the beautiful hooded orioles don't like it, at all! I've tried a couple of other models as well, and for whatever reason, my hooded orioles like this model the very best. This summer there's been so many, I have to fill it back up every other day. Yes, bees seasonally, early summer can be a pain, and ants are attracted to the sugary water falling on my pavers and climb up into it quite often, but for all it's issues, it works. I'm now on my 3rd one and am just hoping Perky Pet doesn't give up on this one.

Honeybee KILLER - do not purchase. Any of the feeders with the same holes WILL KILL HONEYBEES! Terrible design. The last thing our earth needs is more dead honeybees. Shame on you Perky stinkin pet!

bee guards don't work, the bees are piled onto each opening from morning to evening. the orioles don't like feeding when they are on it so we are mostly feeding the bees and not getting much opportunity to see the orioles feed.
Unfortunately, this feeder leaks.

I purchased the adjustable Oriole feeder yesterday. Filled it with water this morning to test for leakage and it leaked, not much from the feeding ports but the crack between the bottom and the the top portion where the feeder ports are. We live in the country 25 miles from the feed store where we purchased it so it is not very realisticeith the price of gas to drive back to return it.

I'm giving this feeder 3 stars because about 25% of my picky orioles will attempt to use it. The perch is more stable and sturdy than most of the other oriole feeders on here. The orioles that refuse to use it don't seem to understand how to push in the button to get to the food, but they will land on it and wait their turn for our super old feeder they all love. Another issue with this feeder is it will eventually start leaking during extremely hot weather.
Oriole bliss.

Great feeder for my migrating Hooded Orioles. Bees have always been a nuisance on other feeders I have tried, but it’s not so bad with this feeder. I have purchased many of this particular feeder over the years, and will continue to do so in the future.
