Can the plastic seed container be purchased separately as a part.....the bear has taken it down several times and finally he broke the plastic insert>

I have never seen the plastic insert sold separately. I have owned several of the same type of bird feeder andhave always replaced the entire feeder when the plastic insert started cracking, but you might want to connectwith the manufacturer of the feeder. Maybe they have a website you can search on. Hope you find what you need.LB

I have no idea, but I'm guessing if you contact the manufacturer, they could tell you. I think the bins are all connected as one unit. They are not separate.

I cannot answer the question about the plastic insert. I bought the seed container at Green Cove Springs Ace Hardware in Florida without the pole. I was able to purchase the pole through the company on line. All I did was google the company name and order with them. Squirrels, or at least Florida squirrels can climb the pole and get to the seed.

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!

if the peanuts have split in half, it's possible. there is not much clearance between the cylinder that holds the seed and the base of the feeder where the birds perch and eat. i'd say it's maybe 1/3" gap between the cylinder and the base, so a peanut might be too large to fit that gap. plus, if it's a lot of peanut in the mix, it could create a dam/log-jam at the base of the cylinder. it works great with my "no waste" seed mix, but these seeds are all very small.

Hi Bradley -You may be able to buy the planters individually, but not from Amazon. You would need to contact Strathwood to see if they offer them seperately.Here is my latest experience with these containers - I was able to purchase a pond filter basket that fit the larger strathwood container making it a self watering system. The smaller strathwood, I wasn't as lucky with.Though the strathwood are nice for the price, the Lechuza are much more user friendly, and extremly well made.

The manufacturer doesn't have another one to replace it, but I am sure you could research online to find a new one since it is just a large mason jar. Amazon was great though, when I broke my jar they gave me a brand new squirrel feeder since there was no jar replacement! Contact amazon and see what you can work out.

Don't think there would be a difference. I imagine that some get broken and dented when the seeds are removed and so would be sold as pieces and possibly cheaper??

I would say the same as S. Vernon: it should work a few times before it breaks. The plastic bowl is not strong enough to resist to such a pressure (for very tough grains like barley, wheat berries,...). It works with nuts but I feel I shouldn't do it too often either.

I am looking to replace my Bodum, which finally broke. I bought a Bodum replacement and was horrified to find that it now has a plastic insert inside the top of the lid. My old one doesn't have it. I would like to return it and get one without plastic, but if this one has it too, then it's not the one. Why can't these companies make anything without plastic touching boiling water?

It has a plastic regulator that limits seed to opening. It is very functional.

You probably didn't notice, but the seed tray separates from the black liner. Mine were between those two.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email.Jim

Please understand I'm no expert nor do I have a lot of experience and I think I made some errors. That being said, I did manage it by myself. I think a seed skirt would be a good idea

The part that holds the seed is very strong plastic. The top is metal-it has a copper finish but not sure it's copper.

The spreader itself is very light plastic but sturdy. Depends on what you put in it. Seed is very light as is fertilizer. I am approaching 70 and have arthritis and have great fun with it!

There is no special container for either. I had to provide my own storage box for the bears which the plates don't fit it.

Yes, the parts should be available. My unit came without a poaching tray, and I called the toll-free number in the literature, and they express-mailed it to me. I think you can also order any parts you need on the West Bend website.
