Can the weight tension be adjusted on the Model SBG101 to accommodate heavier birds? If it can be adjusted, how is that done?

Question by: Barbara on Nov 13, 2024, 10:14 AM

This feeder is not adjustable.

Answer by: Kristen on Nov 22, 2024, 2:47 PM

Unfortunately, the sensitivity is not adjustable on Model SBG101. It is preset to work with common squirrel sizes of 3/4 lb and up. Thank you for your question.

I recently purchased one of your bird feeders for my elderly aunt. As I was filling the feeder I noticed one of the rubber ports was missing. The bird seed spills out so i can't fill it completely. Can I purchase the rubber ports to replace the missing one?
Thank you

Will this feeder attach to a free-standing feeder pole using the hardware underneath the feeder?

Question by: Rita Kargol on Dec 26, 2024, 2:25 PM

We haven't tested this feeder on a feeding pole; we've only tested it hanging on the wire hook

How do I clean the feeder? Birdseed has gotten stuck in the bottom between the tube and the base.

Question by: Cathy Thomas on Feb 2, 2025, 2:27 PM

To clean the Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Max Pinecone Bird Feeder, especially with birdseed stuck between the tube and the base, Disassemble the Feeder, fill a bucket or sink with warm water and add a mild dish soap. Soak both the tube and base in the soapy water for about 15-20 minutes to loosen up any stuck seed or debris. Let the parts air dry completely before reassembling. This will help prevent mold and bacteria from growing inside the feeder. Once everything is dry, carefully reassemble the parts and refill with fresh birdseed.

I need to replace the rubber “flex ports” on my feeder. Please offer replacement ports. This is the best tubular feeder I have ever purchased but it is only a year old and I need to replace the ports. I have taped over the broken port but I have lost one at a lower level so the unit is now ineffective

Question by: Philip Davis on Mar 4, 2025, 8:53 AM

Hi, thank you so much for your question. At the moment, we do not offer replacement feeding ports, and all of our feeders come with a one-year warranty.
