Perky-Pet 254 Sundance 28-Ounce Plastic Oriole Top Fill Feeder

 (8 customer reviews)

I had previously given this feeder a very poor review although Amazon didn't post it. I also reviewed it poorly at another site and got a direct response from Perky Pet. First they explained the little trick about putting vegetable oil on the O ring. That detail can be found on a couple website's, they should actually put it on the feeder instructions. After oiling the ring the feeder ceased to dump all the nectar every time I put the lid on. I did notice some leaking out the perch holes on a windy day, I don't think that can be helped.
More gratifying is the fact that Perky Pet is sending me a brand new feeder after I shared with them the fact that a raccoon tore it down the first night I left it out and lost some of the parts. I look forward to my new one but will bring it in at night and when it's really windy.

Easily the most poorly designed nectar feeder I've ever bought. Almost all nectar you pour in will immediately leak out through the feeding holes as well as the holes where the perches attach. This was not a single abnormality as I bought two from two separate sellers and both were completely worthless. Had similar, but not quite as bad, results with other Perky Pet products.

I agree with the other reviews, the minute you screw on the cap, ALL of the nectar ran out all over the counter. It was a real mess! It just does not hold ANY liquid. I wonder how they ever marketed this item?
