Make your backyard or garden the new hotspot for every thistle-eating bird in town with the Perky-Pet® Yellow Straight-Sided Finch Feeder. This charming 1.5 lb capacity feeder is a perfect combination of durable and functional. The wire mesh, all-metal construction resists damage, while also being low-maintenance and easy to clean. In addition, Evenseed technology also allows for an even distribution of seed throughout the feeder as it empties.
All Metal Construction
The Perky-Pet® Yellow Straight-Sided Finch Feeder stands for durability. It has no wood and no plastic – it’s all metal! The wire mesh design features a powder-coated finish to resist rust, while the sturdy metal construction will help thwart squirrel damage. You can be sure this feeder will be a focal point in your backyard for many years to come!
Accommodates Many Birds
Birds won’t be able to resist flocking to the Perky-Pet® Yellow Straight-Sided Finch Feeder. The diamond-shaped mesh surface and circular perch create an all-over dining area to accommodate several birds at once without competition. The mesh makes the perfect landing place for clinging, while 360-degree seed tray encourages perching.
Evenseed
For your convenience, this feeder’s size and materials allow for easy cleaning so keeping your feeding station fresh is never a chore. In addition, the easy twist-off cap ensures mess-free filling. After pouring in seed, the feeder’s Evenseed design allows it to be evenly distributed through all three tiers!
Seed Stays Fresh
Thanks to this feeder’s built-in drainage holes, water is unable to pool in the reservoir. In addition, the mesh design provides ventilation so wet seed airs out quickly and remains fresh for longer. The large overhang helps to shield the seed (as well as birds) from wet weather. Not only will the birds love this feeder, but it also means less seed waste!

I live in Sw Florida it was a waste of my money I bought the food that was on the card that came with feeder. Food was $20for a bag of food. I hope the other birds will eat it. I have not seen any Finch or other birds go near it. I have it away from. My other feeders. I have tried different. Location in the front. And back yard nothing has worked for me. I leave up about a month with fresh seed. Please. Do not waste your money.
The birds love this feeder. When it is filled, of course there are some Nyger seeds that go thru the mesh; but, it is a fraction compared to the amount that remains inside the mesh.
I've had it with this feeder! Top and bottom do not lock into place and easily unscrew and dump all the seed out the bottom or the tube drops off the top. Unacceptably poor design.

I've had it with this feeder! It has a serious design flaw in that the top and bottom do not lock into place. Today is the third time the bottom has dislocated while I hung it out, even though I'm aware and careful not to loosen it. All the seed is on the ground - not just nyger, but finch feed mixed with sunflower hearts so even more expensive. Squirrels are getting a huge treat as it was 2/3 full. Squirrels also know how to spin it until it drops from the top detaching and the tube was dented the second day after I bought it from hitting the ground. The finches adore it of course as do woodpeckers and chickadees. I had flocks of hundreds of goldfinches last winter when I picked it up and many could feed together as opposed to only 8 at a time on my Droll Yankees tube. It is a bit messy to fill but I figured out a way that works well enough. The baffles are helpful to keep the seed distributed. I'm done wasting so much money on seed that goes to the rodents or becomes compost in the garden below.

Love this feeder. The baffles are the reason it gets such a high rating. These baffles allow the feeder to present thistle to the birds at three levels. They are all over this thing!
I've never had the filling problem that other reviewers describe. A small amount of the thistle seeds leaks thru the mesh when I fill the feeder, but never enough to characterize as "most ended up on the floor." I'm sure with some care and slow pouring, you can succeed with a clean fill too.
I don't understand how you fill and use this feeder??? When I poured Nyjer seed in the top, most of it DID NOT STAY IN the feeder, but rather spilled all over the floor! SO FRUSTRATING!!!
Thank you for sharing this unusual experience. When filling any feeder, some spillage is typically to be expected. This feeder is designed for use with only thistle or Nyjer seed. Reach out via the Contact Us page with any questions.

The baffles are a big problem. Seed gets wet and then stuck at the baffle. I can't figure out a way to get the baffles out.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. The baffles inside the feeder are not removable. They are intended to help keep the seed spread throughout the feeder so birds can continue to feed as the seed level lowers.

Wish I would have read the reviews prior to purchasing. I went to fill my new "Nyjer" bird feeder and most ended up on my garage floor. I thought maybe I made a mistake and bought the wrong feeder so got our the information sheet. Nope, says it is a Nyjer feeder. Even the photos of this product on your site appear to be regular birdseed and not thistle. Any suggestions on how to use it??
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear about this recent experience. When filling any feeder, some spillage is expected. This feeder is only recommended for use with thistle or Nyjer seed. Reach out to us directly with any questions.

Good if you have no mourning doves or big birds

The first product I received was defective, the bottom pan kept falling off. The company sent me a new one which stayed together. However the seed catching pan was big enough for mourning doves to congregate and scare away smaller birds...they emptied the feeder in a matter of hours. When I called Perky Pet to see if there was some sort of attachment or guard to put on the tray to prevent larger birds from feeding, after 20 minutes the response was to get a feeder without a tray! Really? I feel the company should either come up with a solution for this feeder or stop promoting it as a finch feeder. Others on Amazon have noted a similar problem with large birds. I wound up removing the bottom tray and wiring a metal jar lid to the bottom with no place for large birds to perch. Now it is difficult to clean and excess seed just drops on the ground for the doves and rodents. The only thing I like about this feeder is that the baffles distribute the seed evenly. That is why I gave it 2 stars and not 1.

Nyjer seed? Really? Not worth the trouble.

I bought this feeder on the basis of the tag hanging from it - holds 1.5 lbs. of nyjer seed. I thought this would be a better feeder than a nyjer (thistle) sock. Was I wrong! The first time I went to pour the seed into it, most of it fell through the mesh and all over the floor. I never got it full enough to even try it out - it was just a mess to try to fill. Every time I tried to move it someplace where I could conveniently dump all the seed out, seeds just kept falling out onto the floor and into the feeder's tray. It just wasn't worth dealing with so I returned it.
I am sorry to hear that! The feeder is backed by our 30 day refund policy, please give us a call at 855-737-5973!

Broke after less than two months. The hanger is "welded" to the top of the feeder and broke off during normal use. One day it was hanging and the next day it wasn't. Looked at how it was attached and they welded a rounded painted ball of metal to another painted surface. Or maybe it was just glued on with crazy glue. Either way, I'm actually surprised it lasted that long after looking at how it was attached.
I'm so sorry to hear about this Pat! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Please keep in mind that the feeder is covered by a one year replacement policy. Feel free to give us a call for further assistance.
