Belle Fleur 50164 Welcome Pineapple Bird Feeder

 (3 customer reviews)

This feeder is more attractive than average with its glass pineapple shape which reminds of Victorian era decor. Keeps the big, pesky birds like Jays away because the base is too small for them to land on. Medium size Spotted Towhees can use this feeder as well. Drain holes in base but mine is under a sheltering roof eave on a pole. Hanger and metal top work well. It is glass so probably would not be good over cement in case you dropped it when removing for refills!

I loved how this one looks, and I love the idea of a classy piece of glass art doubling as a bird feeder.I struggled with it for two years before finally hanging it in the garage, where it's been for another 3 years. I find that I can't bring myself to hang it back up because of how hard it is to clean and the seed that it wastes. Moisture gathers at the bottom, and before you know it, you've got mold growing in a clump of damp seed at the bottom. It's then very hard to get at the clump of rotten seed, and I was using chopsticks or anything that could reach down. Either that or you have to take it apart, which is a pain. Taking it apart eventually becomes impossible as the screw at the bottom rusts and it gets stuck in place.
Still looks good, but is not functional. Still hanging in the garage because I don't know that to do with it now.

This pineapple bird feeder is beautiful and, since pineapple is a sign of hospitality in the South, it makes a nice welcome to the birds to my porch. Love it! Thanks!
