Works Incredible, very little seed falls to ground, perfect feeder!

Shhhh- Its illegal to feed birds in Hawaii! I bought this bird feeder so the beautiful lil song birds can feed their babies in peace. I was worried due to another reviewer stating a lil bird was confused and tried to escape through clear top so I put some clear, Audubon Bird Strike stickers on top- worked great. The House Finches and Java Sparrows figured it out in one-day and are already deepening in color due to quality food.

I love this feeder and so do the hummers!  I bought this feeder to replace one I've had for the past two years.  The wind would blow the feeder off of the suction cups attached to the window and because it was made of hard plastic, it slowly committed hummingbird feeder suicide.  The last fall was its last, and I had to go looking for a new feeder.  When I found this little one on Amazon I was a bit skeptical because of the low price, but decided for less than $10 I could take the risk.  I am so glad that I did.  This feeder is made of a softer plastic so if it falls (which it hasn't done yet) it won't crack or chip...though it might bounce!  It is so light weight that I doubt it will come loose from the suction cup that attaches to the window.  The birds started coming right away to the delight of myself and my granddaughters who love to watch the beautiful little guys.  It takes longer to get from this seller for some reason, but it is well worth the wait!

PS I know that some people have had trouble keeping the suction cups attached to the window on their window mounted feeders, (I have read hundreds of reviews)but I have had no trouble if the window was clean.  I also rub the suction cups with my fingers as some have advised and they stay pretty solidly attached.

I have maintained bird feeders for decades, and I had no idea how much bird feed was being lost in the vegetation. I now have three of the Perky-Pet feeders and although the birds are taking full advantage of the feeders I am buying perhaps a fourth or fifth of the amount of feed each year because the seeds are being eaten by the birds and not falling into the vegetation. The seeds also stay much dryer.

Truly you have an efficient and well constructed and designed feeder.

I HAVE SEVERAL OF THESE FEEDERS, AND ONE HAS LOST ITS' BTTM SEVERAL TIMES FEEDING GROUND FEEDERS.  DRILED A HOE NEAR THE METAL BOTTOM AND INSERTED A THIN BUT LONG BOLT AND SECURED  WITH A NON EDIBLE NUT. JUSTNA SUGGESTION IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS PROBLEMS WITH A FALLING BOTTOM.

Everyone liked it so much it was stolen from my yard two days later! I bought this feeder to feed a tame stray that depends on us for food. It was so easy to program and set up and worked like a charm. The second morning we looked outside our patio door, and it was gone! Someone has gotten a very nice automatic pet feeder, but without instructions. I've just ordered a second one, and will have to figure out how to chain it down!

By far the best on the market. Just went out today to fill my feeder that I put 4 "AA"batteries (was included) in late September and it went off while I was unloading the truck. It lasted through January throwing corn and has been spinning twice a day for ten seconds with it empty but still. Try that on any other feeder and see what happens. This thing is dependable and spot on with time, still matched my cell phone time perfectly and have not been to it since January 27. One happy customer, I did put new batteries in just because I bought them and don't want to risk it after 11 months in.  Happy hunting/animal watching or whatever it is you do with your feeder, this thing will work for you!!! By the way the instructions that come in the box are idiot proof as well, just can't say how happy I am with this purchase!!!

I have the smaller Standard buster, but I got tired of refilling it several times a day. I didn't want to spend so much on a bird feeder, but this is TOTALLY worth it! It works just like the Standard Buster with the weight adjustments, but it holds over twice as much seed. It is very easy to use. I purchased the weather guard and that also helps keep pigeons from accessing the feeder. I don't have a deck or tree nearby where I can hang the feeder, so I purchased this: GrayBunny GB-6819 Heavy Duty Extended Reach Deck Hook, 37 Inch, Black, For Bird Feeders, Planters, Suet Baskets, Lanterns, Wind Chimes and More!
I attached this pole to the top of my fence and it is very sturdy and long enough that the squirrels can't just reach over and grab the seed. My family loves the Squirrel Buster line of feeders. They work like a charm and are worth the extra money to keep squirrels out. My only complaint is that there are at least 6 feeding holes and when all 6 are being used (by sparrows, finches, etc) the gate will close. So I've had to adjust the weight to accommodate that. The downside is that larger birds can also get on the feeder now. Having the weather guard prevents too many of the larger birds from eating at the same time though. The guard also prevents pigeons from accessing the feeder. Overall, I would buy several of these if I could afford it!

I still love this feeder but it is definitely showing some wear and tear. The ring and the silver feet continually fall out. I eventually glued them in. I get SO many different types of birds on the feeder! It's really a joy to watch them. And even after all this time, I've yet to see a single squirrel succeed in eating anything. Not for lack of trying though. They are crafty little acrobats, but they will bounce off nearly every time. If they do manage to get on the actual feeder, the gate closes and they will get nothing.
But what really makes this one great is its large size. Even with lots and lots of birds, I only have to fill it once a week or once every week and a half.

This feeder is absolutely perfect! Arrived fast (same day) and I will be adding another one to my collection!

This bird feeder is great. I mounted ours right outside our living room window.  We have a perfect view of the finches coming to feed. My daughter is absolutely thrilled with seeing the birds so close.
This feeder is easy to fill with bird seed and very simple to attach to the glass with the suction cups. Just for my own curiosity i also removed the feeder to see how easy it was to take down if I ever needed to clean it out. I had no problems removing the feeder and reattaching to the glass.

I highly recommend this feeder for people of all ages. Watching the birds has never been more interesting.

We had an old birdfeeder that was mostly feeding the squirrels (and fruit rats!) in our yard...nothing discouraged them.  They chased away the birds and ate huge amounts of birdfeed.  We found this birdfeeder here on Amazon and decided to take a chance.  We also installed a sturdy, tall PVC pole and 18 inch bracket to hang the feeder on, since it is necessary to prevent the squirrels from being able to reach over from the pole to eat the food.  Most of them can't even climb the pole because it's slippery.  But a couple have mastered leaping on to the bracket from our fence.  Then they climb down onto the birdfeeder, which causes the feeder cage to go down under the weight, and they can't get to the seed, and can't chew through the metal cage.  They give up!  Though they do still forage for spilled seed on the ground.  We have many more birds visiting this feeder, but we're going through the seed much slower now, which is a cost savings for us.  I would definitely recommend this birdfeeder.  We love it.

Great little feeder, hole on top is a little small, but you can work with it. The birds have no problem getting seed to drop and if it rains it drains well..

This is the best hummingbird feeder I've ever used.
If you live in an area that gets alot of wind as I do here
in Arizona, this is the one to use.  Because the base is flat and
not sloped like other feeders, when the feeder swings from
side to side no nectar leeks out.  I have replaced all
of my previous feeders with this one.  It also comes
in two sizes the 8oz and a quart size.  Both bottles
fit the same base.  I wouldn't use anything else.

Excellent product and great for all my 24 chickens.

This is my first feeder since this is my first time owning chickens. We were having problems with them billing out their food so we devised a way by hanging the feeder about in inch or two into a home depot orange bucket and burying the bucket about 6in into the ground. Works perfectly! Their food isn't getting spilled all over(and attracting rats), and there's no waste.

Pros:
-7lbs feeds my 24 adult chickens, perfect size
-hangs easily with "S" hooks.
-cleans fairly easily with a garden hose and vinegar, soap when need be.

Cons:
-some billing of food happens if you have chickens that like to pick out the "tasty" bits, see above tip.

Overall a great first time feeder and i will purchase this one again if need be.

Best one I have ever purchased! So nice to edge and not have to mess with the string feeder.  Not heavy and super easy to use.  Highly recommend!

Squirrels can't get in this feeder!  I love feeding my local birds and gray squirrels but don't want all my bird seed on the ground.  This feeder keeps them out of it.  They try getting to the bird food but there is just no way the can!  The metal lid can't be chewed through and every time they try to get in position to get at the seed the perch swings the door shut on the food.  For hours and hours the squirrels have tired but they just can't get to seed.  This also works great keeping the Blue Jays from flicking all the seed out on the ground.  I had to find a spring setting for the perch that would allow all my small friends to feed but would shut the door on the jays the just flick and flick looking for a nut or that special sunflower seed that they want.  I find that the small birds drop lots of seed onto the ground when they are active and this give the larger jays and doves plenty to pick up.  I feed the squirrels in another feeder or they pick up sunflower seed that gets dropped from this feeder.  Awesome design and highly recommended.

This feeder works exactly as the company says it does as long as you follow the directions, hang it away from trees, large posts, etc. I have mine on a hook that is only about 12 inches off a 1 inch steel pole which they can not get a grip on so it works fine that way too.

Larger birds really can not perch on this feeder so take that into consideration if it is important to you. Juncos, chickadees, finches all love it and even the nuthatches and woodpeckers will hang on the outer cage upside down to use it. The cardinals use it sometimes but I find they prefer the platform feeder I have to any of the perch styles. The grackles, crows, jays and doves can not use this feeder at all-Not a problem for me but if you like them then that may be an issue for you to consider.

I had another of this same feeder and I dropped it after having it about 18 months. My fault totally as it was from about 10 feet and onto cement. The outer cage was off and so the plastic feed tube broke at the top. I called the company to see if I couuld buy a replacement and they are sending me the part totally free! WOW! My fault but they still stand by their product 100%! I am impressed with great customer service like that and would not hesitate to buy more of these feeders. :)

Love this feeder, it's not huge and it's not small, it's just the right size. The little extra ring around it helps keep the birds perched without sitting or standing in the feeding tray. My last feeder did not have the round perch and all of the birds would sit inside where the seeds would dispense and poop all over the food. This helps keep things clean and it's also a good size. I highly recommend this.

I love this little feeder! I wanted a smaller one to hang on my shepherd's hook that is sort of low to the ground and right outside my kitchen window for perfect viewing. I already had hummingbirds buzzing around occasionally feeding on flowers, but WOW, if you build it they will come. Instantly, Anna's Hummingbirds began to come and perch on the little edge enjoying a nice drink from the sugar water I made (about 1:3 sugar to water - no coloring... they definitely like it just fine without it!). Then they started coming over and over. One male seems pretty territorial and chases others away, then sits in the tree above keeping lookout. Kind of funny.

Notable points:

Havent had ant issues...yet...I fill the ant guard top when I can but it seems to dry out really quickly being so small. would have to really be on top of refilling.

Havent had bee issues... yet. I believe the little yellow flower covers prevent anything but hummingbirds from accessing. whenever i read about people having ant problems it was having a feeder with the bigger holes (no flowers) or having removed them for one like this. Keep them on!

Even though it a pretty small feeder, the nectar is lasting a long time. It hasn't dropped in volume much at all after a week. I wanted a smaller one so it would need to be replenished more often to stay fresh.

Overall a solid feeder at a great price. Though on the cheaper side in appearance, it seems plastic is the way to go since the metal ones alter the taste of nectar and the birds won't use it. I really wanted this cute mason jar one but read reviews of that issue. This one is a solid buy and solid bet to bring our favorite buzzing little birdies around.
