I have small bird out front that are fun to watch. When I saw this feeder I thought just what in need for my small tree and birds. However it is a disappointment in that the bird try but are unable to get to the seeds. I have looked for ways to make it better but being made of glass and metal could not find away. I am going to look for a feeder at local hardware stores.

Heath Outdoor Products 2202 Jardin Dragonfly 3D Feeder Review

Heath Outdoor Products 2202 Jardin Dragonfly 3D Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This birdfeeder is a work of art, lovely to look at and good seating capacity for several birds. However, the holes for the seed to come out into the tray are taller than the rim of the tray, and so seed just pours out of the feeder and onto the ground. It is actually a problem, as it dumped about a cup of seed a day, and this large feeder holds a lot of seed. Seed on the ground attracts rodents to your yard, which is not really desirable. I tried putting mesh in the bottom to restrict the seed flow, but seed is still leaking at a rapid pace.

Marina Nutrafin Nutramatic 2X Fish Food Feeder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product the day before going on vacation, so i didn't have much time to research. I've owned it for 28 days, and it's been working fine so far. I use small pellets, not flakes- so that's all i can rate it for. It seems to work at the same times every day, and a uniform amount of food appears to drop. It is not quiet, so if it is used in a bedroom, make sure you adjust your feeding times as not to be disturbed while sleeping. I acually don't mind knowing when it's running, so if i'm around I can check on it's function. Time will tell if it's a great product- but so far, so good.
I must change my review- I too had one of the battery contacts break off, and the unit became unreliable. I'd often have to remove and replace the batteries to get it to work again. I'd look elsewhere before buying another.

Droll Yankees Yankee Whipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder, Model# YCPD90 Review

Droll Yankees Yankee Whipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder, Model# YCPD90
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great feeder. I had it up for 3 weeks, no squirrels. Plenty of Cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, etc. However, today I saw a squirrel clinging to the holes and sides of the feeder.
The feeder is suspended buy very thin 30 lb. monofilament fishing line from a very high branch; feeder is about 7 feet from ground. Would be difficult for a squirrel to slide down the fishing line - but possible, I suppose.
Edit - now I know he leaped up from the nearby giant Rhododendron. I moved the Whipper away from the Rhody - but too close to the trunk of the tree - about 5 feet. Witnessed many squirrels leaping from trunk of tree onto Whipper. They grab onto the birdseed holes.
I moved the Whipper - now it is at least 6 feet off the ground, but over the lawn - will need to move it again.
I liked having the feeder over the Rhody - empty sunflower shells fall onto the ground under the Rhody, out of sight. Rhody gives the birds plenty of cover - they perch in the Rhody before darting over to the feeder, then dart back. A good thing as I saw a hawk peering down yesterday from a tree in the next yard.

Kaytee Products Inc. 4Sock Finch Feedstation 100501088 Bird Feeder Specialty
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this on a whim, and I assumed that the picture on the box, showing clusters of goldfinches, was an exaggeration. It isn't. It's an understatement. Right now there are more than a dozen goldfinches scrambling around on my feeder. At times there are probably two dozen. If you have finches in the area, they will find the feeder. But I am a victim of my own success. The socks that come with this feeder spill out enormous quantities of seed. Not only is it expensive, it also makes a real mess on our deck, which I have to clean up constantly. As a result, I'm going to get a tube finch feeder and try it instead. I will miss seeing the crowds of finches clustering literally side by side, but the mess is just too much.
I wanted a feeder right outside my kitchen window. If you can put this feeder somewhere where you don't care about large amounts of spilled seed, and you can afford the seed, then you will love this feeder.
One minor quibble, you will see that a plastic dome attaches to a green ring, and the green ring attaches to the main body of the feeder. Both of these parts come loose far too easily when you fill the feeder, which can mean you spill huge amounts of seed. The trick, I have found, is to hang the feeder from a very low hook when filling it, so that the top of the feeder is about chest level. Then you can fill it easily, without the thing coming apart, and then put it back on its normal hook. I got a big S-shaped thing, from which you can hang other things. At filling time, I take the feeder down, put up the S-hook, then hang the feeder from the S-hook.

Cherry Valley 12-Ounce Plastic Strawberry Hummingbird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nice little hummingbird feeder. It's one of only two that I've had through the years that has lasted more than one season. The others were either missing parts (usually the flowers fell off and blew away) or leaked constantly. Another nice thing about this feeder is that it's super easy to clean. You aren't left with a bunch of separate parts when you take it apart to refill it or to clean it, because there are only two parts. I usually just dunk mine in a mixture of bleach and water, rinse, and dry. It's plastic, so if you happen to drop it, it won't break. I've also had fewer problems with wasps and bees visiting this feeder than I've had with others. I'm not sure if because of the way the flowers are shaped or if it's because the flowers are red instead of yellow, but whatever the case, I'm thankful. I also like the nice small size of this feeder. Unless your yard is totally swamped with hummingbirds, this is more than enough since nectar needs to be changed so often.

The description above is misleading. It does not go on a shepherd pole. You would need tin snips and a welder to put it on one. Now I have to return it, and the seller requires that I pay the shipping, and insure it for the full retail price, even though it was their misleading description that caused the need for a return. This item will only go on a straight pole with no foot at the bottom.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This feeder is made of plastic - the only metal on it is the hanger. The feeding holes inserts are made of a soft plastic, and the birds and squirrels pecked and chewed through it within two days.
The product description states "with plastic top and wooden perches", but this is not so - everything is plastic. The feeder that this one was to replace had metal inserts and a metal top on a plastic body, and lasted almost 10 years.
In summary: the purchase of this feeder was a total waste of money - 100% junk!

Classic Large Nyjer Thistle Sock Bird Feeder Review

Classic Large Nyjer Thistle Sock Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Most plastic bird feeders that you see have small spokes for the birds to sit on and holes where the seeds fall out. I've found that a great deal of the seed is lost to the ground when multiple birds are feeding. This 'thistle sock' is composed of a thick material that won't break apart. It may not be as attractive as most feeders, but it sure attracts birds. It took about two weeks before I saw any activity, but then the finches arrived on a daily basis, clinging to the sock and feeding heartily. I've seen robins as well. The sock is hearty enough to allow for the birds to grasp with their claws without opening up holes and they really do stick around to pull out the seeds. Not only is this fun to watch, but my cat goes absolutely nuts. This is a great inexpensive feeder.

This is the only suet that I can put out that the squirrels leave alone! I usually get it in the big home store, but have been sick and can't get out right now. I was hoping to get it cheaper too. Even so, it is a good buy when you actually feed birds instead of squirrels! I get a lot of song birds, Flickers, flocks of BushTits, and even blue jays benefit from the fallen bits on the ground. Also, I think vermin ignore it which makes my husband happy... I have it out year round and love watching the bird show!

Morning Song Goldfinch Thistle Sock Review

Morning Song Goldfinch Thistle Sock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the 13 oz. Morning Song Goldfinch Thistle Sock at a local store for a little less than $5. The sock feeder comes with a cord for hanging and is refillable. It should be hung approx. 5' above the ground to feed the birds.
In the past, I've used 2 different styles of hanging tube thistle feeders that have perches. The goldfinches used those feeders too, but the seed always got wet & wouldn't dry out. I hung this sock feeder alongside the tube feeders & was surprised to see that the finches preferred this sock feeder. It's been unseasonably cool in our area this year so I don't know if we'll get more birds when the weather warms up or not. Right now, I usually see 2 goldfinches at a time on the sock feeder. I rarely see any on the tube feeders. We finally found a spot to hang our thistle feeders that will somewhat protect them from the nasty weather. I'm curious to find out how quickly the seed will dry in the sock feeder as compared to the plastic tube feeders. Right now, I'm pleased with my purchase.
Update: I've refilled the sock feeder twice now. The first time I went to way more trouble than necessary to refill the sock. The next time, I used this Heath Outdoor Products FS-1 Feed Scoop-Funnel. I put the sock in a tall, plastic cylinder; pulled the edges of the sock over the top of the cylinder (to hold the sock open) and filled the sock quickly, with no mess. The cylinder helps hold the sock while I'm filling it & also catches the seeds that fall out of the mesh. The seed hasn't gotten moldy in the sock yet like it did in the tube feeders. I read a comment that the sock should be cleaned once in a while, be sure to rinse it well.

Since the orioles in my yard were busy emptying the hummingbird feeders I tried this feeder and it worked fine the first time. Once I started having to take the feeder apart to clean and refill it started to leak. If the orioles didn't like this feeder so much I would get rid of it. Taking apart the three pieces is easy. Putting the two base sections together is awful. If the tabs inside the bottom aren't lined up perfectly the bottom leaks. I have to put the bottom together multiple times until it is perfectly aligned and then I always test it with water in the bottom to see if it will leak or not. The bee guards seem to work fine on my model and both hummingbirds and orioles feed from it. If they could fix the leakage problem then this would be a great feeder.

This is the third solar crackle ball bird feeder that I have purchased - the other 2 were purchased a couple of years ago and the style has changed slightly. Instead of 4 small exposed lights in the top, the lights are enclosed in tubes that run down each corner. I think that this change will protect the lights. One of the older models has had a light damaged by the birds or squirrels. These feeders hold up very well and the older feeders stay lit for a long time each evening. I have never had to recharge or change the batteries.

I have several of these feeders in red, pink, and clear. The hummingbirds love everyone of them. They are easy to clean and are environmentally friendly. The glass is not died, the color is in the glass and I have used them for 3 years now and have not had any fatalities because of them. I can have as many as 20 Hummers at a time feeding at my feeders as I have two feeders up at a time. They are so attractive too. I get compliments from humans on them all the time.

Woodlink Brushed Copper Oriole Fruit Feeder Review

Average Reviews:

The orioles in our neighborhood love this feeder! They come to it continuously during the day. The little jars are great for grape jelly or mealworms (they eat both, especially while feeding their young).
I would have given this 5 stars, but they made this with an umbrella that is in the way of the orioles being able to drop down easily. We took our's off immediately so that they have the best access they can get to easily drop down to the food. For those who have observed orioles, you'd understand their behavior in how they drop down from limbs above. With the umbrella on, they'd have to fly directly to it from underneath. It doesn't look as pretty without the umbrella, but it's still nice looking.
Immediately after putting this feeder out the orioles started going to it instead of the older feeder that we've had out for the past few years!
Note - the product description mentions it having "Decorative black metal birds of paradise on either side" - that's not true, that's a different feeder from this one (unless the picture is wrong - the picture is just like the one I've got).
