THIS IS A DANGEROUSLY FLAWED FEEDER!,
March 1, 2007 Barbara Stricker (Northern California) - See all my reviews
THIS FEEDER HAS A MAJOR & DANGEROUS FLAW. I recently purchased the Fly Thru Metal Gazebo Feeder (3400)and there is a dangerous flaw for small birds! Yesterday an Oregon Junco was behaving oddly at that particular feeder and after a few moments I realized his foot was TRAPPED in the feeder. It was trapped where the metal floor of the platform is folded up in order to hold the seeds. The bird struggled and struggled to get free. When it finally did I went out and took the platform down and saw that there was blood, a lot of blood for such a small bird. I have to wonder if the poor thing even lived through the night.
After I took the feeder down I used aquarium sealant to fill all the gaps. And I have also contacted various suppliers of this feeder to let them know that the manufacturer needs to CLOSELY crimp the 6 floor folds.
Duncraft, who also sells this feeder, was very supportive and the president of their company wrote to the manufacturer!

This review is from: Fly-Through Gazebo Feeder (Kitchen)
I have owned one of these bird feeders before. Eventually it starts to rust at the rivots securing the support bars, but mine lasted a good 3 years before needing replacement. This is a very practical feeder, Cardinals love it and it gives the birds a place out of the rain. This time I have applied clear nail polish to the unpainted rivots in hopes this will delay rusting.
