The Perky-Pet® Water Cooler Bird Waterer provides 1.5 qt of fresh water to your thirsty backyard birds. The unique water cooler shape allows your birds to have their own type of water cooler to gather around! The ergonomic hand on the Water Cooler bottle enables easy filling and carrying. Water is an essential element for attracting birds. By adding water to your offering along with a food source, you’ll attract a larger variety of birds including birds that don’t eat seed such as the popular bluebird, swallow and warbler. Birds will seek out a water source in a variety of ways - rivers, streams, ponds, puddles and even raindrops. Provide them fresh, clean water in your backyard and they may never have to go elsewhere again! Keep water fresh by changing the water every few days. Clean waterer every two weeks with a mild soap and water solution. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.

The water tray is to small for birds, even small birds, to land on. The birds fly into the water bottle. The water tray should be at least 8" in diameter. I hope you are quickly coming out with a replacement tray otherwise in my opinion the product is useless and I wasted my money.
If I could give a zero star rating, I would. Wasted my money. I agree with others who state the poor design does not allow for enough room for birds to perch and drink. Also, the amount of water in the drinking area is minuscule.
We are sorry to hear that you didn't care for the design of this waterer! Please keep in mind it is backed by a 30 day return period, please give us a call directly for additional assistance! - Susan

Please redesign this product. The water tray does not hold enough water also the tray should extend out further beyond the bottle so the birds heads don’t hit the water bottle. I have seen chickadees and finches try to use it but

Had to claim a warranty, because the original was leaking at the seam. Customer Service agent was exceptionally friendly, and professional and initiated a replacement shipment immediately
This product has a serious design flaw: There's not enough headroom between the perch ring and the water vessel for birds to land on it without hitting their heads on the vessel. (I'm skeptical that the images of birds at this waterer are not manipulated.) Even goldfinches, the smallest birds at my feeders, would not use this waterer although a variety of birds came to a waterer I used previously. That one was similar in design (and also a Perky Pet product) but had a wider perch ring and more clearance above it. Unfortunately, the base of that one rusted, so I bought the plastic waterer. After a couple months of non-use by the birds, I realized something was wrong. I purchased the plastic waterer through Country Max, which refused to respond to my request for a refund. Perky Pet should stop manufacturing and selling this product.
We appreciate the feedback. Our testing has shown that birds are able to drink from this waterer without interference. This is not meant for larger birds.
We are sorry to hear about this and would like to know more about your experience! This product is covered under a 30-day return policy and a 1-year replacement policy. Please contact us at 1-855-737-5973 for assistance. We're happy to help! Sincerely, Rachel

I’ve had the waterer up for 3 weeks but have not seen any birds use it.
Hello Chip - Thank you for sharing this feedback. Birds can be creatures of habit and may take some time to warm up to a new food or water source in their area. To encourage them to try it, be sure that it is hung near food sources or nesting locations. Reach out to us at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) with any questions.
