Birdscapes 737 Garden Sip & Seed Feeder Review

Birdscapes 737 Garden Sip and Seed Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cardinals, woodpeckers, mocking birds, wrens, finches, sparrows, and squirrels all love this feeder system. Squirrels might chew on the "saucers" -- they have chewed on mine, but the unit still functions well. I think there's a metal-capped version which might be less likely to show damage from chewing.
The seed feeder is easy to fill with a funnel-type reversible scoop and the water container is easy to fill with a water hose. However, you have to turn the containers upside down to refill because the clear chambers have only one open end. If the seed container isn't empty, you might want to pour the remaining seeds into something before turning it over and refilling. I do wish the seed chamber especially was accessible from both sides for this reason.
I haven't had any significant problems with the seed getting damp, maybe because the birds empty it so fast! I am surprised how many birds actually use the water container. They actually do drink from it, however it does need to be cleaned with a bottle brush periodically.
This feeder looks very pretty in my yard and is worth the price.

Birds need not only seeds, but also water, and you can make your yard more attractive to birds by providing both with the Birdscapes Garden Sip & Seed Feeder. The design includes two plastic silos with interchangeable caps and bases that allow you to fill each with either seeds or water. Each silo features an antique style, copper, two-tone finish cap and base. A decorative freeform hanger allows you to hang the silos in a variety of ways.
Two-Silo System Provides Both Seed and WaterBirds need water as much as they need food, and by providing both, your yard becomes a more welcoming place for birds. Some birds, like warblers and swallows, will only come if water is available. The Birdscapes Garden Sip & Seed Feeder comes with two complete silos, each of which can hold either seed or water.
Each silo features a matching interchangeable cap and base that lets you choose whether it will hold water or seed, allowing you to fill one with seed and the other with water. Or, fill both with water. During winter's freezing temperatures, you can fill both with seed. Each silo can hold up to 1.5 pounds of seed or 27 ounces of water.
Adaptable Design with Decorative HangerThe two plastic silos are perfect for use throughout the entire year, even in the toughest conditions. Each silo features an antique style, copper two-tone finish cap and base, which serve to protect the feeder from above while providing a perching spot for birds below.
A freeform copper scroll hanger provides flexibility in choosing how to arrange the silos. You can hang both on either end of the hanger, or hang a single silo from the middle. The entire feeder measures 7 by 17 by 22 inches.
What's in the BoxTwo silos, one hanger and instructions.

Perky Pet 50144 Deluxe Chalet Cedar Feeder, 5 lb capacity
This is an OK bird feeder, but the squirrels have easy access to it, nothing prevents them from jumping on the ledge and gobbling up all the seed before the birds can get it. The suet feeders at the side went quickly, and I don't fill them anymore. The top slides off to the side sometimes, as it is not anchored. The rope to hang the feeder isn't real handy either. It's not my favorite design, but it works OK.

Heath Outdoor Products BFP-3 8-Foot Garden Hook Bird Feeder Pole Review

Heath Outdoor Products BFP-3 8-Foot Garden Hook Bird Feeder Pole
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hook is 8 feet long measuring from very bottom of the pole around the radius to the bottom of the hook. Thus, when installed in the ground, the actual hook is only about 6 feet from the ground. So this places the perch of a "normal" size bird feeder (e.g., the Brome 1024) about 4 feet from the ground -- much lower than desired. In addition, the hook is green and not black as it appears in the photo. On the positive side, it does appear to be sturdy. But would not have ordered this product had I been aware of the actual height of the hook from the ground.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I bought this particular Opus feeder on Amazon, Seven Years ago. It is amazing that the feeder not only looks great but also still is operating like new. Opus Company is the most cooperative manufacturer and they stand behind all their products.
I called them when an aggressive squirrel ate through the squirrel guard in about six months, only because I had it put it up with too large of rope. Though it was my fault, they replaced the top and sent it out to my house immediately 100% free!
Over the years, I have had questions about birds and feeders and they are quick to answer them. They know the animals that eat out of their products! Opus makes more than Bird Feeders, they make many different garden products and Amazon is their top seller of those goods. That is who they always suggest you shop through Amazon because as they will tell you "Amazon.com has the absolute lowest price on all" these quality products.
I now own seven Opus Feeder and other Opus Garden Products; all are in new shape with heavy use in the adverse weather of Kansas! Yes Dorothy Kansas!
Let us not forget to shop for these at Amazon.com, but go to http://www.opususa.com and look over the entire line of their products and get the best advice on outside birding and other great information.

I have - or had - this bird feeder. There was only one problem with it: the birds weren't able to perch to eat anything, which was pointless. It was poorly constructed: one wall kept falling down inside when I tried to put seed in, making it hard to get it to close. The thing that you hung it from broke, so I had to throw the thing out. It was a worthless piece of junk and I'm sorry I ever wasted my money on it.

GOT 2 BIRDSCAPE BIRDFEEDERS, THEY ARE GREAT!! SOLID, DURABLE, EASY TO FILL, BIG AND MADE OF MATERIALS THAT SQUIRREL IS NOT GOING TO TRASH ANYTIME SOON. GREAT PRICE AND THE BIRDS LOVE THEM. BIRDERS NEED THEIR MONEY FOR BIRD SEED, NOT TO KEEP BUYING FEEDERS THAT GET TRASHED AND DUMPED BY THE SQUIRRELS. THESE FEEDERS ARE THE BEST I'VE SEEN ON THE MARKET AND FOR AROUND $20.00, GOOD DEAL FOR US AND THE BIRDS. THANK YOU AMAZON AND BIRDSCAPES! UPDATE: SQUIRRELS GET ON THIS BUT HAVE NOT TRASHED IT SO FAR.

Avant Garden 8110-3 Looking Glass Hummingbird Feeder Review

Avant Garden 8110-3 Looking Glass Hummingbird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am ordering my second feeder today. I've been using the same one for 3 years now year round, because we have hummers all year long in Phoenix. It is still in perfect condition. I like this one because the parts are mostly metal, and the sun is brutal here on anything plastic. The only problem I've had with it is aligning the bottom correctly so the nectar doesn't leak out. I've mastered it now, so it's not a problem. To avoid breaking the neck off of the jar, I soak the unit in warm water for a few minutes before unscrewing. I'm also very careful not to over tighten. I fill it only half way, as the birds don't like the food if it's over a few days old, especially in warm weather. Here is a trick for cleaning your feeder. Put about 3 Tbls. of white vinegar mixed with two cups of water in the feeder. Add about 1/2 cup of white uncooked rice. (I use a funnel) and shake. The friction from the rice will clean even the dark mold off of the inside. Rinse well before filling.

Brome Squirrel Buster Finch Feeder Review

Brome Squirrel Buster Finch Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This feeder is a must for those with healthy populations of finches /and/ squirrels. The feeder itself is very well made of quality materials, from the calibrated moving metal squirrel baffle to the thick, UV-resistant tube and coated metal lid and perches. I also bought the larger "Squirrel Buster Plus" regular feeder through Amazon made by Brome and found it to be equally, if not even more, well made. Both are extremely effective: my neighborhood is older and ringed by dozens of mature Pin Oaks teeming with squirrels. They've had free run of my yard for years (the last owners were definitely not gardeners), pulling open suet cages, burying seeds and acorns everywhere, chattering madly at the dog... and then came the Brome feeders. Both are in easy reach of the ground, and the squirrels can climb the pole, but to no use: the baffles slide down every time and they get squat (instead of fat) from my feeders. Huzzah! I would use these feeders even if I didn't have squirrels, I like the dark green metal finish and slim construction, and I really like not needing extra feeder pole baffles, plastic cones, etc. to keep out the squirrels, who are back to their regular job of eating the seed that falls to the ground. :)
NOTE about shipping: this feeder was shipped "as is" in its original box, a shortcut that I did not appreciate. These feeders are pricey, as other reviewers have noted, and worth it, but they DO contain calibrated springs and moving parts, the product needs to be shipped inside a shipping box. The first Brome feeder I ordered was shipped properly, no idea why this one was not. Luckily it suffered no damage and is an outstanding product in action.

Garden Song 101-4 Dine Around Window Bird Feeder Review

Garden Song 101-4 Dine Around Window Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of 7 feeders that I have at my home NOTHING relaxes me and perks me up more than seeing all the colorful birds around my home. When I saw this one at it's incredible price, I had to give it a shot. It mounted to the window in about 30 seconds-I filled it with finch food, and had a purple finch perched and eating an hour later! What a thrill to be cleaning house, at the computer or relaxing in my recliner, and to be able to look out of our big, bay window and see the goldfinches and other birds perched. NEGATIVES: Perch is a LITTLE on the "flimsy" side, but no one's fallen off yet. Doesn't come with instructions - I could see this being a problem for someone unfamiliar with feeders. Other than that? Good job, once AGAIN, to Garden Song!

Perky-Pet 399 Patented Upside Down Thistle Feeder - 2-Pound Capacity Review

Perky-Pet 399 Patented Upside Down Thistle Feeder - 2-Pound Capacity
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is the ONLY thing to use for thistle seeds. You will get some bright yellow goldfinches, who are the "only" bird that can hang upside down to eat the seeds. Any other feeder will attract sparrows. Sparrows land on the posts on this one and try really hard to reach under, but always fall off the perch. The gold finches just spin around upside down and go to town eating. It does make a bit of a mess under it, with thistle seed tailings, so be careful on placement (i.e. in a garden not on your patio, or have some kind of tray underneath).

Average Reviews:

My husband had this on his wish list and based on the other reviews I almost didn't order it for him. Others said birds couldn't get seeds out and didn't use the feeder. We have lots of birds using this feeder at all times and I once counted 10 birds on it at the same time. Some cling to the wires and others sit on the perch to eat. The top has kept the snow and rain off of it and it holds a ton of seeds at one time (not filling it as much). Also the squirels have yet to destroy it unlike many other feeders we have had. I would definately buy this one again.

Cherry Valley Feeders Bird Feeder Review

Cherry Valley Feeders Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good buy for someone purchasing their first bird feeder. The pole which is enclosed is rather flimsy and not that tall, so for security you really need to replace it. By all means, purchase a squirrel guard, because if squirrels get up on the feeder, which they will, they not only eat all the seed but they also severely gouge the bottom tray and seed falls out more easily. If you're really serious about a bird feeder, then I would try one that is sturdier.

Birdscapes 367 Tulip Garden Lantern Feeder Review

Birdscapes 367 Tulip Garden Lantern Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This birdfeeder has enough going against it that I wouldn't purchase it if given another chance. The central wire makes it swing much more in the wind, making it difficult for birds to feed on a windy day. Although the cover has a button to hold the lid in place, on windy days, the button doesn't hold well and the bird food dumps all over the ground. Also, the plastic windows aren't big enough and are barely held in place by the 2 metal clips that line the side of each edge. The plastic fell out when the wind blew my feeder off a really secure branch. However, at least it didn't break. So, overall, I'm not happy with this feeder and wouldn't recommend it to others.

Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini Review

Brome 1055 Squirrel Buster Mini
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product because the squirles were eating all my bird seed. I was happy with the product and it was easy to assemble, fill and hang. My only complaint is that in order for it to be 100% squirel proof it needs to be hung at least 18 inches from the nearest post. My hanger only has about 12 inches of clearance, so it's not 100% squirrel proof in my situation, but it still cuts down on the amount they can reach, and my seed that used to be gone in 2 days has lasted over 2 weeks now. It would have been helpful to have that stipulation on the outside of the box instead of only on the insert inside the bos, or else I would have taken that into consideration in my purchase. On the whole I am happy with the purchase.

This is a versatile product and a great value compared to similar products I have found. I put a seed feeder, hummingbird feeder and a decorative bird house on the three hooks. I didn't use the bird bath because I already have one. You can use all of the incuded hooks and accesories or remove the ones you don't need. I highly recommend it as an addition to any garden or backyard.

Perky-Pet 348 Window Wild Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, after reading lots of reviews about similar products, I decided to purchase this one- even though some had stated that it wasn't very good. First let me point out that there are no directions with this feeder- so really it's best to follow the advice of others that have posted reviews as far as the best way to hang the feeder. I put the feeder up, put in some food, and waited. A few hours later we heard a crash! I was horrified that my brand new feeder had crashed down and shattered into a billion pieces. I should probably add that I live in a dormitory on the third floor with both grass and cement below us. I was very relieved to find the feeder still completely in tack...and was able to find the suction cups nearby as well. I then went back and found some of the reviews that suggest how to prepare the window and suctions cups so the feeder will stay in place. I washed the window very well, and washed the suction cups in warm soapy water. I let both air dry completely. Then, as suggested by another purchaser, I ran my finger gently across my t-zone (forehead and bridge of nose) and then wiped the finger across the suction cups. This very small amount of natural oil is said to help the suctions cups stick. After firmly placing the cups on the window I attached the feeder- and haven't had any problems with it since! We've had some pretty tough thunderstorms too! It did take almost 2 wks for the birds to find the feeder- but now they love it and I lvoe to watch/hear them! We've had cardinals, sparrows, several different type of finch's and others that I don't recognize. I should note that this is a fairly small feeder and really accomodates only one bird at a time (some of the small sparrows will feed 2 at a time). I'm considering purchasing another to place nearby! I really love how close you can get to the birds without disturbing them- the opening on the back is great to have because then the only thing seperateing you from the birds is the glass of your own window! I highly recommend (just remember to prep the window and suction cups before "hanging")!
