My sun conures wouldn't touch!

My sun conures wouldn't touch the toy. I don't know why because they destroy other wooden toys. It was about the same size as the toys I usually give them but they never chewed on this toy.

All the seeds I planted sprouted and started to grow, but at about 2" tall something happened either rabbits or birds ate them all over night. I planted more in a hanging pot, but the same thing. If I can find a way to keep the birds out I think these would be really good!

My cockatiel is under the sun lamp @ 90 min/day [supervised] and he gets his required vitamin D exposure. Hard in Dallas Tx weatherize to have him outside on patio - too hot, too cold! Also have hawks in nearby trees so we can't make it outside enough for what he needs. [If we outside, I NEVER leave him unattended, have to watch for possible heat distress and any other animals trying to get at him & he is always in a cage outside]
Trust me, I work in lost and found pet birds, I know!

What a great idea, that doesn't work !  We have a place at the Bay and my dock is lettered with shells and droppings from the birds...  I did a little research, and was under the impression that these Owls scare away the birds.. NOT !!!

I installed this on top of one of my pilings.  The head rotated, and makes a clicking sound.  It worked for 2 days, and stopped turning.  I can still hear  the clicking, but the head doesn't turn... What a waste of money.

To add insult to injury, weeks later I look outside and there is a bird perched on top of the owl... Unbelieveable.

I bought this to see if my canaries would nest with this material but they refused to touch it. Had to switch it out. This material is probably not best for canaries, so it possibly works better for other birds. Was unable to use both packs.

I placed the bird bath and the water wiggler in direct sun......it worked great for one day and now it barely makes a turn,,,,,,a waste of money for me......I am very frustrated about it......

These are ridiculous.  They constantly shed "sand".  The box they came in was full of "sand", even though they are in a plastic package--it leaks.  My bird was constantly cleaning her feet when I put her on these because her feet got covered in "grit", and the stuff went all over the place.  I put them on a playstand and I had to constantly sweep up all the sand from the tabletop and floor.  I would not recommend them.
Instead, I started using vet wrap, at the suggestion of the breeder I got my bird from and that works GREAT!  Soft and spongy and plenty of traction and it comes in tons of pretty, bright colors attractive to birds.  Might not recommend to large parrot owners--don't know how safe it is to chew on--but for my baby four month old Green Cheek it's great.

Nice concept but my parakeets are afraid of it.  I put it in the cage every day for about 3 weeks hoping they would acclimate to it.  They tried it one day and never again.  I will get one that fits into one of the food dish slots next time.

I bought 3 of these and the birds have not even eaten the first.  Wish I could return the other two!

Maybe these iguanas are a super breed, but this product has no effect on them whatsoever. I have actually sprayed one iguana who was lounging in an area on my deck that had been previously sprayed with Pest Rid and he just cocked his head and looked at me. Eventually, he(?) jumped into the water and swam away. The statement that this product works in "Rain or Shine" should have been a clue!!

Normally the birds in GA love black oil sunflower seeds. However, they won't touch this stuff. Now I am stuck with 25 pounds of useless seeds.

This owl did NOT help my problem with crows at all !  Sitting right near the bird bath I have, it didn't deter them at all from dipping their 'kill' and food they had found in the bird bath and leaving the residue there  - a MESS !  The crows would sit just a few feet away on the fence, watch the owl at first for a few minutes, and then were wise (?) enough to know that it was just going to sit there and not bother them !  PLUS, my young grandchildren were afraid of it, and when I tried to give it away, no one would take it !  A total waste of money - boo hoo !

My bird hates it! I expected that this would bother him some what but this item completely stressed him out and made the problem worse! To start getting it on was a struggle because of the snaps. They were hard to get in place and this freaked my bird out to begin with. Velcro would be so much easier! The cone was also heavy and this made it hard for my bird to move. In his attempt to escape it he quickly removed the leather that was meant to keeping the plastic from rubbing on his neck. This resulted in a loss of feathers in that area. He wore it a total of maybe 5 mins... I think that I will try to make one of those clothe cones instead...

I have purchased many Perky-Pet products in the past, but I am VERY disappointed in this feeder. I first started with a jar of Welch's Grape Jelly. It was a windy day and in no time at all, it was upside down. So, thinking it was too heavy, I switched to the Perky-Pet plastic jar and filled it about 1/8 full. Same thing. Every time I look out, it's upside down. Needless to say, the Orioles haven't found it. The Finches drank water that had collected on the bottom of the overturned feeder! This idea of releasing the grape jelly is great, but they need to find a different way of hanging it up...THE CHAINS DON'T WORK!

I don't know if this worked.  My chickens got demolished by raccoons, lost a bunch of them.  I tried this and it seemed to work, but after 3 weeks I had another attack and lost the rest:(  I think it may have been because in the PNW, Seattle...you don't get the sun to charge it everyday. It may have just not been on that night because it was a dark and rainy typical day here.

I'm quite baffled at all the 5 star reviews - these did not work at all.  Period.  Not mistakenly reflective/not glowing or kind of glowing a little at dusk or a minute after dark and I just didn't read/pay attention to the entire description....zero, no glow, no light - and just to be clear - I live in Florida - so the area I put them in got more direct sun than a solar panel on a roof in the desert.  I thought maybe they needed a few days to charge...nope....thought maybe they had some protective coating on them & wiped them carefully off...nope.  Had my eyes checked....nope.  Save your money folks.  That's all I'm saying.

When I first put these out in early May not one bird would touch them. Then apparently the babies started to hatch and the birds went nuts on these dried mealworms. Cat birds, Sparrows, Robins, SongThrush, Starling, Red Wing Black birds, Black Birds, and Chickadees. I have to put them in a smaller feeder to make sure the little guys get some as the bigger birds (Starlings and Black Birds) snap them up as soon as they see them. I am about to order my second bag.
