Heritage Farms Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder

I have had an old Heritage Farms Absolute Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder for years and I loved it...the old style one before they started adding the plastic windows to see the food level. Something knocked it down twice, and the second time it was not repairable. (My local birdseed store things it was a racoon or possum.) Still, it had lasted a long time, so I went to get another one. When I saw this cute little red one, I liked it and emailed the company with some questions about the sturdiness of it. The replies were lackadasical and unable to answer my questions...it seems they don't manufacture this one (and the customer service person was not interested in finding out the answers to my questions.)

Still, I had had a good experience with their other feeder, and I liked their style of feeder from the research I had done, and I decided to order it.

This squirrel proof feeder was torn up by a squirrel within the first two weeks of purchase. After payng that kind of money and it doesn't even do what it says it will do. I would like my money back.Heritage Farms Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder

This bird feeder is a made in China and is very poor quality. The metal is very soft and bends easily. The assembly screws were all loose, and the mounting bolts and nuts were almost ready to fall off when it was unpacked. The squirrel-proof function does not work properly because the metal parts do not fit nor function the way intended. Therefore, the perch mechanism only closes about halfway, leaving the birdseed exposed. In addition, the feeder is made for only the smallest birds. The perch is only one inch from the feeder, with less than 3 inches of headroom from the roof overhang. Don't waste your money on this one!
