Fine ... as long as it doesn't rain

Hi folks. I don't have spare time to review every product I buy here with over 250 orders in the last year. However I do feel obligated to mention or warn others when a product fails under normal ordinary conditions.



This bird feeder looks very nice it holds plenty of bird seed and I have no problems with the funky lid or filling the feeder. (I don't like the flimsy plastic glass)



I wondered "WHY are the birds completely ignoring this feeder when I clearly see it's still half full of seed? They used to like it. What's the deal?" Hummm.



I quickly discovered the problem. What happens is; every time it rains the bottom area (tray) gets filled with water and saturates the seed turning it into a thick muddy paste. At this point the birds have no interest. After examining the feeder I noticed the "tray" has little tiny drain holes - not quite the size of lead in a pencil. These drain holes are obviously insufficient. I doubt I can drill the plastic holes larger without breaking the tray.



In summary I find it surprising that no other reviewers mentioned this problem. Ultimately my recommendation is to only buy this feeder if you hang it in a dry area such as in a pavilion under an eave or a similar location. For me it's time to go bird feeder shopping once more.

"Our" favorite feeder

My hummers had no trouble switching from the basic bottle feeders to this saucer and I love it because it's the oh-so-easy to clean. The built in ant moat dries out rather quickly but I basically fail to fill it anyway and haven't had any ant problems at all. I now have 2 of these feeders that hang from shepherds hooks and there's no leakage problems whatsoever. Remember: change your sugar water frequently; every few days to avoid spoilage. I highly recommend this feeder.



EDIT (04/2008): I wish this feeder came in 8oz since I don't really need 16oz and don't get that many hummers (unfortunately). But I did also purchase a Hummzinger Fancy (12 oz) and surprisingly I just didn't like it. It was easy to clean but was deeper than the PPO which didn't appeal to me. I had put the Perky Pet on one hook on the south side of the house and the HummZinger on the north side's hook. The HummZinger didn't get much activity which was surprising since the hummers are used to both hooks having a feeder. After 2 weeks I put the HummZinger away and went back to 2 PP's. Activity resumed on the north hook...



Considering both feeders are outside from April to November and rinsed in hot water for every cleaning they've held up well. No cracking minimal color fading no flowers have needed replacement to date.More detail ...
