Perky-Pet 309 Seed Barn Bird Feeder

I used this feeder through the winter of 2009-2010. Stellar's Jays, Nuthatches, Juncos and Flickers all seem to be able to feed at it with no problems (though the Juncos prefer feeding on the fallen seeds under it). The feeder has withstood heavy rain, snowfall, severe freezes, and winds up to 65 mph without any issues. The suspension cable is very strong, though I'd recommend if you hang it instead of pole mounting, that you use 2 points of suspension, otherwise there is a tendency for the feeder to tip a little towards one of the ends. The clear plastic sides (all 4) do make it easy to see when it's running low on food at a long distance, and the lift-up cap is adequate for filling in place. It's also easy to clean.

This is a great sturdy birdfeeder that withstands many weather conditions. I like that it can also be pole mounted.

We have had this bird feeder in use for less than two weeks. It is already falling apart. It is flimsy plastic, probably made in China. The main part of the feeder has already pulled off the base. There are plastic clips that clip the feeder into the base. These clips are breaking and do not hold the feeder on the base. I have bought many bird feeders in my life, and this is the worse ever. It should rate 0 stars.
