 Good Feeder - Finches love it... Oct 03, 2009
By T. J. Poling
The adjustable perches which are suppose to allow you to allow larger birds to feed or distract them, does not work at all. There seems to be notches that allow different settings, but as birds start to clammer over feeding, the perches retract back and do not allow any bird, except those that can hover to feed. I've utilized a rubberband to keep the perches opened....anyway, my 2cents for you. Good luck...

Attractive and Competent Bird Feeder Feb 19, 2011
By C. DeRosa
This is a very nice-looking feeder, with a faux brushed copper finish and appealing design. It's attractive enough to hang in front of the bay window in our kitchen for all to see!
It's all plastic, which hasn't yet proved to be a problem, but it gives it a cheaper feel than a feeder made of glass and metal. However, you don't have to worry about anything rusting, and if the feeder somehow falls, it won't shatter as easily as glass.
The adjustable rotating ports are a nice feature, but I find they don't stay in place very well. I wish there was a way to lock them in position. I regularly look out to find them completely folded in, though I'm not sure what causes this...squirrels, perhaps? So I have to squeeze behind the bushes to readjust them more often than I'd like.
Also, when you go to fill it up, there is a plastic attachment holding the hook in place which transects the opening to the feeder, and I have to be very careful when pouring the seeds in to keep from scattering them everywhere. It would be nice if there was a way to twist the attachment off while filling the feeder.
But overall, I've been very pleased with this bird feeder. I've had it for almost a year, and it shows virtually no signs of wear or weathering. The birds don't seem to have any complaints about it either, as it is frequently emptied! This is an attractive, well-designed feeder, and I highly recommend it!

When I first opened this bird feeder I wasn't too impressed. Seemed cheaply made. I was wrong! This bird feeder attracks smaller birds and holds up well against the elements. I am going to get another one!
 Perch closes up Aug 17, 2011
By D. I.
"Diana"
Like other reviewers, I too have experienced the perches on this feeder retracting. I couldn't get the things to stay open. Finally, I got some twine, wrapped it around each of the plastic "fingers" individually (right where the finger comes out from the feeder), then ran the twine to the next "finger," wrapped it around that and so on until all of the perches were secured in the extended position. Then I just tied a knot in the twine to secure the hold on each perch. I did this a few days ago and so far it seems to be holding. Its a pain to have to do this, but at least this technique allowed me to salvage the feeder.
Perch Problem Jul 18, 2011
By Edson W. Kempe
As the birds use it the perches collapse inwards. There may be a way to deal with this, but I have not found one.
