Functional and inexpensive

I've gone thru several of these due to the neighborhood bear stealing them. Other than that they are inexpensive and hold a LOT of oilers. Good for smaller birds

I've gone thru several of these due to the neighborhood bear stealing them. Other than that they are inexpensive and hold a LOT of oilers. Good for smaller birds but when it gets about halfway empty the finches & sparrows have a difficult time hanging on to the lower half. Chickadees & titmice seem nonplussed & just hang upside down. Bear thinks its a toy. Use this at home and also work because its economical, functional & unique.

This basket just cannot be opened. There are several complaints about this product both on Chewy's site & the Perky Pet site. I even went to You Tube for clear direction. No joy. The lid will not budge, turn or slide. Warm water, oil .... nothing works. Please discontinue selling this product.

This is our preferred feeder for the c&s suet nuggets - stays well closed and is easy to hang from many places. We even used it one spring as a protective cage in our garden for a baby plant we wanted to get started without it getting eaten lol

In many ways, I like this feeder; I use it for safflower seed. However, it is extremely difficult to open and close the top. A horrible design, the opening is under the clamps that hold the chain. This, I would not recommend this item

Can't open to fill with seeds.

The top is supposed to slide to the side but mine won't move enough to get any seeds into the ball. Not worth buying.

Bought this to add more options for putting out seeds that the squirrels don't find easy to access. Purchased a baffle for above it to keep the seed dry. I have another more traditional feeder on the other side of the yard. This one doesn't get much interest from the local bird community. The traditional feeder is filled daily and empty before sundown. This one has been up for weeks. Have actually never seen a bird on it and very few seeds are taken, though there is debris below it, so something is visiting from time to time.

No mess

Put a standard bird seed mix and was worried it would fall out and make a mess but there were no problems! Birds absolutely love it and the squirrels can’t get to

It did not take our birds long to find this bird feeder which we placed on the opposite side of the house from our other feeders. They flocked to it and eat from all sides of it. Sometimes three birds at one time. Others waiting from a distance.
