Perky-Pet® Squirrel-Be-Gone® Wild Bird Feeder

I received 2 of these. They are horrible. The springs come undone so the wire cage falls down and does not go back up, closing off the food. Part of the decorative leaves is directly over the holes so the birds have trouble reaching in for food. I bent them back and they were able to access. I taped it wo the wire could not fly down over the holes and the worked for a while, though not squirrel proof. Now both of them are broken.

Looks pretty but unfortunately the design allows the seed to get wet and not flow to the openings. Do not waste your money.

This feeder worked great for about a year, until the squirrels got tough. They gnawed and broke every metal weld and pried the leaves and grid system out of their way.

Apparently the squirrels in nw Florida are smarter than the bird feeder manufacturers. The "squirrel proof" openings have been destroyed leaving a smorgasbord of birdfood all over the lawn. Unfortunately I bought 2 of these squirrel feeders.

Very disappointed in this feeder. The squirrels chewed most of the ports so that the food pours out on the ground. Has only been used a few months. I had another one this winter that got wet and the food stuck in the feeder and caused molding. Can not get it clean. This one wa supposed to be squirrel proof but it was not. Chewed ports on this one too. Cannot afford to keep buying new feeders every few weeks.

This birdfeeder is not squirrel proof and overall not well made nor worth the money!!! I bought my first one 45 days ago. I had it one month and two of the feeder ports were lost when it was knocked over in my yard I contacted Perky Pet about new/replacement covers that I could purchase. I was told that they didn’t sell replacement parts and I needed to buy a new feeder. Well I bought another one two weeks ago. The squirrels have eaten 5 of the 6 port covers! A total waste of money

I love my Squirrel-be-gone feeder. I have had no trouble with squirrels, especially because I use ONLY safflower seed. The birds love it and my feeder is always covered in birds. Especially the House Wrens. Through no fault of the birdfeeder, I lost one of the springs. It shot out of my yard like a rocket after I dropped the feeder and tried to put it back together again. Is there any way I could order two new springs? Please email me one way or the other, and let me know. Thank you in advance.

I bought this to keep away squirrels and it does but it also keeps away the birds. I have no idea why birds don’t use it. It is very disheartening.

I am so disappointed in this new version of this bird feeder. I have used the old version for years and the squirrels would attempt to get to the bird seed but could not. I purchased two feeders in January. The pictures on the Home Depot site were of the original design. After placing the feeder in the yard, the squirrels went right to it. I looked it over and it looked like the outer part was not dropping down far enough to cover the openings for the bird seed. I contacted the company and they replaced the item. I placed the new feeder out and the squirrels were at it again. They finish the bird seed in a day. I still have one of the original design feeders out and the squirrels cannot get to the bird seed. You ruined a good functioning squirrel resistant bird feeder. Your website is still showing the original design. I only wish I had read the reviews before purchasing.

This product is NOT Squirrel proof. The squirrels easily remove the flexports. once they do so, all the seed ends up ion the ground, waste of money. I am returning 3 of these poorly designed so called squirrel proof feeders to the retailer where I purchased them from. There should be a way to lighten the weight for the weight of the squirrel. my feeders are 3ft from the ground. it does not close off the ports when they jump on it.
