Customer reviews
Cardinal approved in my yard.
I have tried many bird feeders over the last couple years and returned them. I bit the bullet and bought a Brome 1024, and that went back to my local hardware store after two weeks because the cardinals simply would not use it. I always went back to using my wally world ten dollar hanging red gazebo feeder which worked good, and the cardinals and other birds would feed from it with no problem. Only problem with it is that it is plastic, and a squirrel chewed a perch off of it, so I have had enough of the plastic feeders. Plastic gets mold on it easily too. My wife got a No/No seed ball feeder from her mother for a birthday gift. Hung that up and the clingers were all over it. Ordered the No/No cardinal feeder and hung it up and within minutes the birds were feeding from it. The cardinals gave it a try and seem satisfied because they sit there chowing down for minutes at a time. I was skeptical at first that the perch tray did not extend out far enough which measured 1 5/8 inches from the mesh to edge of the tray. My skepticism was proved wrong because the cardinals just love it. I read some reviews that stated that the feeder was not squirrel proof which in fact it is not. It is a squirrel damage resistant feeder because it is made of steel. The feeder has a lovely red color that does attract birds, and it seems to be quality manufactured. Noticing a lot less spillage from this type of feeder plus no more beak raking seeds all over the ground because the birds have to pick and pull seeds from the mesh screen. Even though most seeds have to be pulled from the mesh screen one at a time, some times more than one seed will come out, and that lands on the tray. I have an Erva 22 inch baffle over the top of it which keeps out most of the squirrels except for super squirrel I call him. Compared to other squirrels, he has the body builder physique steroids look, and he can jump like he is flying. I could cut off one tree limb that he launches from, but the tree is so pretty. The little rascal could not make his landing on the feeder stick one day, so he chewed the red ribbon I had tied around the tree. All I use is black oil sunflower seeds, and I buy them in 50 pound sacks for 26 dollars plus tax. I just open the lid on the feeder and hold the feeder handle in one hand, and then I use a quart jar to fill the feeder. I keep my seed in a plastic bin, so I use the lid of the bin underneath the feeder cause just a little bit comes out while filling. Last time I filled it full there was seven or eight seeds that fell so no big deal, but I do pour the seeds slowly into the feeder. Overall, I am very happy with the feeder, and my feathered friends are too!

This is ingenious and it deals with the squirrels by severely limiting what they can eat.
BEFORE ANYTHING MORE...THIS IS MADE FOR BLACK OIL SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND ONLY THIS TYPE OF FEED. THE HOLES IN THE SCREEN WILL NOT WORK WITH OTHER LARGER SUNFLOWER SEEDS AND MILLET WILL FALL THROUGH THE HOLES INSIDE IF YOU USE CONVENTIONAL BIRDSEED. THIS LATER WARNING HAS A POSITIVE SIDE. ROCKING OF THE CAGE RELEASES SMALL AMOUNTS OF MILLET AND OTHER SMALL SEEDS TO THE GROUND FOR GROUND FEEDERS IN A METERED WAY. IT HAS THE BEST BALANCE OF LIMITED SQUIRREL FEEDING ONE CAN FIND. This is a very interesting design and I was surprised when it came as it is just a flat pack. When you lift on the hanger hoop it just opens up into the feeder as shown in the pictures.It is well made, finish is durable, filler hole is easy to access and large enough to fill without a problem from a cup or scoop. We have a squirrel problem and notice that although they can reach from the hanger and try and eat they have to get seeds one at a time with great effort and cannot chew through this steel. So no guilt about not feeding the squirrels and no anger from them pigging out...they have to work hard for one seed. All of the negative reviews about this not working are by people who did not read nor they do not know what black oil sunflower seeds are. It works great for the product it is designed for...better than any feeder at any price I have used...and I have bought feeders up to $150 with all kinds of squirrel guards, long wire isolation lines, rotating baffles in the lines holding the feeder, etc. What makes this work is that squirrels can get a very small amount of feed for a lot of work and will decide, as our acrobatic friends have, to just eat what they find on the ground. If you want to feed a large variety of birds then I think this will still work fine just be prepared that the smaller feed will meter to the ground through the holes in the bottom plate with very limited feed remaining in the tray. Birds get their meal on the ground or through the wire mesh screen...not the tray.

One of the BEST Bird feeders I've Ever Bought
I bought this birdfeeder to replace an open tray style feeder that had been attracting a lot of cardinals but also it's fair share of red winged black birds. As pretty as black birds are, they gobble up food too quickly, especially in a open feeder & also scareshier birds away. This feeder works great at still attracting the beautiful cardinals & many other songs birds that like to perch & eat, but it also seemed to do the trick at discouraging the blackbirds. It holds a TON of seed, so you don't have to refill as often. If you are a big bird feeding enthusiast, you will probably want to get a tube feeder as well for the smaller birds, like goldfinches & nuthatches that like to have a more substantial perch. Goldfinches also are shier birds & don't like to compete with others at a busy feeder. But this is a great one for the medium sized birds like cardinals, chickadees, titmice & some finches. And it is just shallow enough at the edge to discourage bully birds like blackbirds & grackles. Very sturdy, easy to fill & weatherproof feeder that keeps birds fed for many days without having to top off. You can't go wrong with this feeder. It's worth every penny.

Sturdy and well-built. Birds seem to love it!
The Perky-Pet Durable Wild Bird Feeder with a 2.5 lb seed capacity is nice; I’m quite pleased with it. The feeder is sturdy and well-built, which makes it durable enough to withstand the elements. Birds seem to love it — I’ve noticed a good variety visiting regularly, and the seed stays dry and accessible. One thing to keep in mind is that filling the feeder can be a bit tricky. If you take it down to refill the feeder tends to collapse in on itself while trying to fill it; a bit of a hassle to keep it stable during the process. It does hold a good amout of seed. So far I haven't seen any squirrels swinging on it. Overall, a good feeder with a clever design.
