Product Description

With the Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone Bird Feeder you get elegant design and squirrel-resistant function all in one convenient package. The metal cage is adorned with a leafy design that will look at home in any yard. In addition, the metal is finished with a powder coating to enhance the rustic look, while also ensuring rust resistance. To offer defense against squirrels, this feeder boasts multiple great features. First, this feeder’s weight-activated system is calibrated to support the weight of birds but not squirrels. When squirrels try to gain access to the perches, the cage is pulled down, causing the decorative leaves to cover the ports. In addition, the metal cage prevents squirrel chewing and damage. With less competition from squirrels, birds won’t be able to resist the Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone Feeder! It features six feeding ports evenly spaced around the reservoir so multiple birds can dine at the same time and you can enjoy a better view. In addition, this feeder has built-in drain holes to prevent water from pooling in the reservoir, so there’s less seed waste. Use the built-in hanging wire to place this attractive feeder anywhere around your yard or patio. Care -Caring for your bird feeder, caring for your hummingbird feeder Keeping your bird feeder clean and full of fresh seed or fresh nectar is very important to the health of visiting birds. It is recommended that you clean your seed bird feeder every two weeks and your hummingbird feeder every week. Clean your bird feeder more often in warmer weather. A mild soap and water solution can be used, however; if the bird feeder needs additional cleaning, you can use diluted vinegar. Be sure to rinse completely. It is not recommended to place any bird feeder in the dishwasher to clean.

Customers are dissatisfied with the springs of the wildlife feeder. They mention that the spring would pop off at least weekly, and that the feeder is a weak point. The springs can be pulled loose or bent by squirrels. Some say that the product is prone to damage from larger birds and squirrels, and the spring can get jammed.

"...the changes to the feeder seem overall positive, but between the missing springs and the broken bottom bracket, this particular one was a lemon." Read more

So far, so good, country of origin is not USA as stated on the Amazon page.

So far, so good, country of origin is not USA as stated on the Amazon page.
So far this has kept the squirrels at bay. I changed the spring tension to allow for multiple birds feeding at the same time, and it works well. For some reason, the squirrels have not tried to challenge it yet, but since it closed with heavy birds on it, I have no doubt that it would work for squirrels also.The only beef I have with it is that this bird feeder was chosen over some others because it said the country of origin says USA on the Amazon page, but the feeder comes from Thailand.

Cute and sturdy birdfeeder EXCEPT for the little hooks on the springs. They do NOT stay in place if a squirrel or raccoon attempt to get the seed.
They both came undone, which of course causes the feeder not to work. Luckily, my husband was able to get the springs back into place behind the metal leaves using a very thin, long tool and then bent the hooks in just slightly enough to keep them in place.
So far, so good!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Looking, Springs broke within a few months
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022
Pattern Name: FeederVerified Purchase
Lets start off with the positive. It is nice looking and we were able to adjust the springs so the little birds could land and eat off it but the big birds would land and it would close. We have a separate bird feeder for the large birds, they are messy and will empty the feeder in half a day leaving nothing for the smaller birds, so this helped us provide a solution for that. It did foil the squirrels but didn't stop them from swinging on it and trying constantly lol.

The bad, which is kinda a deal breaker for us. It broke it less than 3 months. The squirrels were putting their weight on the bottom plate to avoid the pressure plate closing off the food. We have this on a metal stake that wasn't near a fence or tree... they climbed the skinny metal pole anyway lol. Anyway I don't know if this is what contributed to the breakage but the springs that are the center of this whole contraption working broke and somehow popped so we can't find them (squirrels kept them as trophies? Maybe building their own super bird feeder invasion contraption? Not sure).
The feeder was getting a lot of use, we would have to fill it once a day, maybe a day and a half... plus the squirrels trying their hand on it. So maybe it would last longer or not break if it had less traffic, but I bought this because I thought it could handle it (and befuddle the squirrels lol). Because I don't have those springs anymore I am not sure what size springs to get to repair this.
Filling this was a little difficult because of the top opening, it was easier to fill with two people. There is a spring that connects the lid to the contraption (that is the spring that sprung it's way somewhere we can't find, and don't even know how that could happen) so you have to hold it open while you fill it. I always spill doing this, which the squirrels appreciate lol. The lid is also held in position by a metal bar that slides into two holes in the plastic. The plastic gets worn out pretty quickly. Keep in mind we used this for only 3 months. So that bar/peg thing likes to slide out.
The plastic part at the top of the feeder gets pretty worn/nicked /chipped so I don't know how that would fare long term.

I live in Maryland, so it doesn't get a lot of sun but does get a lot of rain and humidity, lot's of birds and squirrels. I lived in Arizona most of my life and think this might be better there due to less squirrel invasions. The metal is coated so we didn't see any rust. I *think* this would fare ok in strong suns like Az since it seems to be well coated.

In conclusion I wouldn't buy this one again due to the fact it broke in 3 months, will be slightly difficult to fix since we need to figure out the proper spring size. It was difficult to fill which was annoying, small opening so I spill a lot, and with needing to fill it daily it was annoying. Thus the middle of the road rating. Maybe I just need an industrial strength feeder lol, but anything that breaks in 3 months is a waste of money for us.

I hope this review helped someone decide if this is for them. Have a wonderful day : )

5.0 out of 5 stars No more doves, no more squirrels!
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024
Pattern Name: FeederVerified Purchase
I had a problem with doves basically roosting on my previous feeder, where they would just park their fat selves ON the seed tray and eat until they could barely fly. This new feeder is well-designed for small birds. The doves stand on the deck railing trying to figure it out, but they can't even land on it.
With that said, it's very good for SMALL brids, like goldfinches, chickadees, song sparrows, etc. Sadly, medium sized birds like cardinals, tufted titmouse, mocking birds, etc., can't land and eat from it. The issue is the distance from the perches to the food holes in the side of the feeder. It is very close, so small birds can get their heads into the feed holes, but larger birds are just too big. Imagine sitting on a bench and trying to eat under your elbow-- That's sort of the challenge for medium sized birds.
Bottom line, I'm happy with it and will keep it. The spring mechanism seems like it would work well, but nothing large enough to activate it is able to land on the feeder in the first place. In any case, the dove problem is solved.

Da wir aber das Häuschen erst zwei Wochen nach Lieferung in Empfang nehmen konnten (Urlaub...keine Lieferprobleme), haben wir auf eine Reklamation verzichtet.
Aber trotzdem haben wir unsere Freude daran, denn es ist ausreichend Platz an den vorhandenen Sitzgelegenheiten. Außerdem sind unsere kleinen Gartenbewohner sehr erfindungsreich und klettern auch ohne die Sitzstange am Gehäuse entlang und finden ihren Weg zum Futter.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does appear to be squirrel-proof.
Reviewed in Canada on September 4, 2023
Pattern Name: FeederVerified Purchase
After a month or so of use, this feeder does seem to fool the squirrels, which was the sole purpose for my buying it. So far, they haven't figured that they possibly could hang upside-down from the top without triggering the shutter mechanism. I agree with other reviewers that it is a bit finicky to fill the feeder, because it has a relatively small opening with the lid held in place by a spring, so you have to hold the lid back out of the way with one hand whilst you try to drop the seeds into the small opening with the other hand. I exclusively use black oil sunflower seeds, which I buy in big bags. I empty the bags into a spare garbage bin, so I find that the best way to fill the feeder is to place it on top of the seeds in the bin and scoop the seeds into the hopper. It then doesn't matter that half of the scoop-full cascades over the hopper and back into the bin.
