Perky-Pet 112-4 Select-A-Bird Tube Feeder with Metal Finish

 (6 customer reviews)

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...

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...Read more

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!
