Review Rate good feederTakes several days for birds to use this feeder, I think it because they see themselves in the plastic -
Review Rate anything I can do.The feeder looks and works good but when I put small bird food in, it pours out of the bottom. Its OK with sunflower seeds because they are larger . Anything I can do?
Response From Perky-Pet®Jules : Consumer Relations Representative -
Review Rate The slammer stopped slammingAfter about a year of use, the ports would no longer slam shut when a squirrel jumped on it. So the squirrels were able to chow down at will. I will assert that no information has been found at this website about how to fix this problem. Also, even when the feeder was working well, a lot of seeds slide out of the feeding slots when the birds were feeding, and end up on the ground.

Review Rate Redesign?I have to give it a 4 star because the weather cap above the feeder holes is too small. When it rains or snow is blowing the feed gets wet and in winter like now the seeds freeze. Also there must be a better way of clean the feeder. How about making a wider cap to prevent the elements in coming in

Review Rate Squirrel tube feeds birds great.Squirrels open and get into the tube when low and then can not get out. Be prepared to start a squirrel rescue procedure at your home. Birds don’t mind if there’s a squirrel in the tube or not! I have photos.

Review Rate Blue JaysSo far so good! Squirrels aren't my problem as I have a baffle on the pole. It's Stellar Jays, worse than squirrels! I have spent a fortune on feeders trying to find a blue jay proof feeder, and I think I have finally found it. The Jays are putting it through the test, jumping up on the grips so we'll see how well it holds up. P.S. Stellar Blue Jays are beautiful birds...I don't want to give them a totally bad rap.

Review Rate OptimisticLooking forward to using our new squirrel slammer birdfeeder. Living in the forested country in southern BC, we have a variety of critters that are attracted to feeders, squirrel, deer, coons, bears & the occasional rat. One thing we have learned to do is bring the feeders inside overnight that saves a lot of late night visitors.

Review Rate Very inhumaneSquirrel Slammer lived up to its name! A small squirrel managed to open the top and go head first into the halfway filled feeder. It either suffocated on seed or baked in the hot sun before I found it with only it's tail exposed. The feeder is in the garbage!

Review Rate poorPoorly constructed. Was up less than 24 hours found in pieces. The 2 sections of this feeder were connected by thin plastics. Great idea and I had high hopes but no to be due to cheap construction

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are the most popular bird seeds to use?
A: Black Oil Sunflower Seed is the most popular bird seed. It is much smaller than the traditional sunflower seed and best for those birds with smaller bills, such as the sparrow, junco and goldfinch. This seed is accepted by the greatest variety of birds.
Mixed Seed is also popular. It is best to buy the mixes that contain white proso millet, a tiny cream colored seed with a shiny shell. Mixes containing finely cracked corn and black oil sunflower are also preferred by a large number of birds.
Niger (Thistle Seed) is imported from Africa and Asia. Niger won't germinate, but it does have a tendency to become moldy due to lack of air circulation. If you notice mold on the seed, it must be removed from the feeder and the feeder must be cleaned thoroughly.
Q: How do I clean my bird feeders?
A: Before filling your feeder with fresh seed, it is recommended that the following precautions are taken:
- Remove all old seed.
- Soak feeder in water.
- Scrub feeder and allow to air dry.
- Rake and remove accumulated hulls and droppings from underneath the feeders.
- Spread mulch (bark or wood) under the feeder, replace mulch when soiled.
- Thoroughly wash hands after handling and cleaning feeders.
Q: What is the importance of providing water for wild birds?
A: Wild birds need fresh, clean water just as much as they need seed. Birds stay healthy by using water not just for drinking, but also for bathing, cleaning their feathers and to remove parasites. Waterers are better options than bird baths because they provide birds with fresh, clean water that prevents dirt and debris from contaminating it. In hotter climates or seasons, providing water for birds makes it easy for them to have access to a water source and retain their energy. By adding a water source, you also can attract a larger variety of birds to your yard. You may even attract more colorful birds that don't eat seed, but are in need of water!
