Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone Wild Bird Feeder, Brown
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone Wild Bird Feeder features six feeding ports, with U-shaped perches for birds to flock to. The feeding ports have sturdy metal perches that allow birds to feed comfortably but, when the squirrels perch on them, their weight causes the entire metal casing to slip down, completely blocking the feeding ports and their access to the seed. The interior seed tower is surrounded by rustic metalwork and boasts a two-pound seed capacity.

Birds at my feeder look sick, what should I do?
The best thing to do is to stop feeding the birds temporarily. Remove the feeders and throw out all of the seed. Thoroughly wash your feeders. Remove all debris from under your feeder. Do not touch the sick birds. Refill all of your feeders and resume feeding.
How do I prevent seeds from sprouting under my feeder?
You will need to sterilize your seed to prevent it from germinating. This will not alter the attractiveness or the nutritional value of the seed in any way.Here are two methods:Conventional Oven: Place the seed on a baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes at 300°F.Microwave Oven: Place seed in a paper bag. Cook on high power for 5 minutes.
Why does the seed in my feeder get moldy?
Mold is caused by a heavy rain, driving sleet or snow plugging the feeding ports and allowing water to dampen the seed. Always clean, dry and refill your feeders after heavy weather. You may also want to try placing 1/4" of cat litter in the bottom of the feeder to absorb excess moisture.

great feeder
By animallover444 on Apr 30, 2021
I have had this birdfeeder now for about three weeks. It is wonderful. I watched a squirrel come down from the roof trying to get into the feeder and the “cage” went down just like it was supposed to, The squirrel was disappointed and left and hasn’t been back. It is nice looking and holds quite a bit of seed. I use the multipurpose birdseed so the openings are big enough for all types of nuts, millet etc. I bought a second one for my backyard. I think this is well worth the money. And I would say it is nicely constructed

Does the job
By Birdlover on Apr 17, 2021
We already had bought one of these feeders locally and planned to get another one or two after seeing if it worked effectively to keep the squirrels at bay. Locally, where I'd bought the first one, the price was $10 more than the same feeder at Chewy. So glad I checked to see if it was on your site. So far it's kept the squirrels from getting the seeds out and has kept them on the ground eating their peanuts.

Squirrels in my neighborhood are too darn smart!
By EMAT on Apr 18, 2021
Unfortunately, this was outsmarted by my neighborhood squirrels. The little rascals studied the feeder for several weeks, but figured out how to get into it. They even out smarted the slinky around the pole. Squirrels got to the feed by braking the inside plastic around the holes. My guess is they jumped on the drop bar often enough. Too bad 2 of these feeders are now at the dump.

Bird feeder
By Patt on Apr 12, 2021
Birds love feeder and squirrels try to get into it but eventually give up. I have had this feeder before and caution others when loading it with bird feed. The top is very tricky to load by yourself so I put feed in a large measuring cup and pour while holding down the top. I broke the first one in less than a year

Perky Pet bird feeder
By Nikkibelle on Mar 16, 2021
I've bought these feeders for over 12 years, when they rot, I buy new ones. They don't deter the squirrels at all, least not here in PA but I like the amount they hold and the size birds that can fit on the perches to feed. They to me, are the best I've ever had and typically last for 4-5 years. The bottom plate rots off and they look nasty so I replace them

Squirrels not happy
By Betty on Apr 30, 2021
So far it works and the squirrels can’t get at the seed and give up. Every morning I have 4 to 6 squirrels looking for something to eat. Could not keep them away from other bird feeders

NiceFeeder
By FrankS on Mar 28, 2021
I seem to have plenty of birds visiting the feeder and no issues so far. I had a few squirrels try to get food but they gave up after a few minutes. Easy to fill with the Stokes bird feeder scoop I bought with it. Everything gets into the feeder and not on the ground.

Not happy birds
By Unhappy on Apr 9, 2021
I have several other feeders and the birds will go to those ones before or even if they will come to this one. They don’t seem to like it at all. I thought they needed to get used to it but they still don’t use it

Squirrel proof
By Skip on Apr 15, 2021
Thought this feeder was a good idea to keep squirrels out but at mine one chewed the plastic at one of the feeding stations and all the feed dumped out. Wish the tube was glass.

Sturdy feeder
By Badfood on Apr 3, 2021
This is an awesome feeder. It’s low cost but not cheap by quality. My previous were taken apart by woodpeckers and blue jays! This one will last! Also the squirrel prevention works.
