What I should use to replace the plastic piece between the pole and bird house? Mine is cracked causing the feeder to shift.

Mine cracked and I used duct tape but eventually water got in so I had to replace it. If it's a small crack you could try super glue.

If you still have that green piece (I'm assuming this is what cracked?) you could try gluing it with Construction adhesive. If that piece is not repairable, how about using PVC pipe? Good luck!

Go to www.woodlink.com click on contact us and send them an email telling them your problem along with model number if you have it and name of the brand of your feeder, which is Varicraft. Maybe they can help, they help me with a part I needed.

As suggested by another purchaser, you could remove the inner plastic "bowl" and set your non-plastic bowl inside it. However,there really isn't a "bottom" to the feeder, so if your pet tips it over (which my cat has done several times), the dish would fall out and so would the food. So, removing the dish might work against you if you want the feeder to open at a set time, which seems to be the point of an automatic feeder.

I tried a plain plastic wild birdseed feeder, but it was too light and birds spilled more than they ate. I have had great success with a shallow dish with a long hook that is attached to center of dish and threads through a dome over it that helps with weather and also acts as a squirrel baffle. It is also made of plastic, but the long combination screw/hook component adds enough weight that birds don't spill worms as they land. I bought the feeder from Lowes, but there are probably many out there. Having a dish to put worms in decreases breakage of worms too unless you rehydrate them which I never have to do as the birds empty feeder daily.

I had one plastic piece that hooks to the pole crack. I contacted OXO through their website and they sent me a replacement piece at no cost. They did not include the inside plastic shelf piece since those pop out of the metal frame that hooks to the pole. When cleaning, I learned quickly to just pop the plastic shelf out of the metal frame instead of detaching the entire piece from the pole. I haven't had anything break since switching to that cleaning method.

The company that manufactured the feeder has gone out of business. My friend has the same feeder and called the Amazon distributor from whom she bought the feeder when a part broke and they would not stand by the lifetime warranty. It's unfortunate because it's a wonderful feeder, but is rendered useless if something goes wrong and can't be fixed. I wonder if Amazon would be willing to give you contact information so you could check to see if the manufacturer has any "spare parts". I think either Amazon or Amazon's distributor should go to bat for you. Good luck.

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.

If you're going to use it for bird feeders you will want to find something to place in the middle section where the hooks connect . I was sitting watching hatchelys eat and one fell into the opening. Thankfully I was home and saved it.

Try using thin metal rod to insert between the plastic and pole. Push and pull as if peeling the skin of something. It will detach the pole from plastic. It worked for me.

bottom of the feeder is a straight pole. You could anchor it in concrete or in the soil

That's a question you should ask the folks at Perky Pet. They were able to send me replacement perches for my feeder.

No need to replace unless damaged. Just clean regularly and bee guards should last as long as the feeder.
