Are replacement plastic inserts available for this feeder? Raccoons did a number on my feeder. All metal parts are intact. The seed tube is trashed.

Easy to make your own with pvc tube or cut and bend a piece of clear thin plastic from hardware store or big box store. Simple to cut holes too.

The brand of feeder is called Birds Choice. They have an extensive website that would probably have a replacement screen tray. They also have a place on the website to ask questions.

We had an old wooden bird feeder that fell apart from the rainy weatherMy husband was able to salvage part of the base and then attached the metal one to the wood and tgen to the tree. So maybe if you could attach it first to a piece of wood that would help. Rayofjoy25@gmail.com

I've had my feeder for a long time. Got it from a local shop...Mine is all metal and glass. Here is one that is similar but not the one I have.When I purchased it I paid a hefty price for it but it has stood the test of time. Perky-Pet 363 Birds and Berries Lantern Feeder

Hi,I've owned two of these. They're my birds' favorite feeder. I broke the plastic insert when I dropped the feeder.Because the feeder isn't that expensive, I just purchased another one. Don't know if the plastic insert is avail separately, but I would suggest contacting the company. Here's the link to their website: http://www.homesteadbirdfeeders.com/Good luck!

I had trouble with raccoons doing that. I ended up duct taping the feeding bowl to the container at the bottom. I haven't had problems since.

I've had squirrels get in mine, but nothing has ever happened except for eating all the food. Never chewed on the feeder. I've also been putting peanuts out to keep them away from the bird seed.

The plastic feeder can be removed. Or you can put your bowl inside the plastic tray.

The perches are metal. i think the Droll feeders come with a lifetime guarantee; but i can't remember for sure. Also be sure to buy the Dome that goes over the top; it helps keep the seeds from getting Wet and molding.

Good question .... I've not found any source to-date with what you're looking for - AKA Varicraft parts. I'm trying to remember the previous company name ( something like Woodland I believe) That stated, I've got 2 clips from an old feeder that served me well for 10+ years that needed several of the plastic feed windows replaced and I decided to dump it for this new one. But, I saved the clips and you can certainly have one but how to make that happen??Happy Holidays,John

the bird feeder is metal. The seed is held back by a clear plastic panel. I have had the feeder for approximately one month and the squirrels have not been able to get to the seed at all. They have only been able to get to the top part of the feeder and then they give up.

I have used this under my main feeder as a trap, but the birds do fling husks and seed so it is not a cure-all. I have put plastic garbage bags cut open, under the seed feeder to catch the debris and empty it at night. That works well. Keeps the rats and mice from coming in also.

Not a very sturdy plastic, I can tell you that. The feeder arrived broken and was never used. I really don't think it was the type of plastic at fault but whoever packaged it. The box was too small so the feeder was crammed in it. When another package was thrown on top of it, the feeder broke.

I am sorry to hear that, for you and for me! I bought 7 of them. Lost 1 jar due to a branch hitting it. (High Winds)We get raccoons so I automatically added bungie cords around the jars and boxes. Also, we did notice the staples and added nails and put them up on the trees with screws.I decided when I need replacements I will get plastic gallon jars through uline.comYou can get a case of replacements for 10-15 dollars! They have a 4" mouth and I will just make the box opening a little wider.Good luck!! �

I didn't have much luck with this feeder. The squirrels figured out a way to get at the seeds. After about 3 weeks of use, a couple of the screws came loose and one of the perches fell off. I couldn't find some of the parts in the snow so I just wrote it off as a loss. You might try hanging some weights off the perch and see if that helps. I'm sorry that I can't be much help to you.

I opened the top, turned it over and it fell out. I bought a second feeder . . . and had no issues with the manual staying inside on either one.
