Perky-Pet 3261 Sierra Wild Bird and Finch Feeder

 (3 customer reviews)

This is a cheap plastic bird feeder. It works OK, but has a flimsy feel to it. The price here is preposterous -- it is about a $6 item, and another Amazon vendor sells it for that much.

I have this feeder placed right outside my window of my ground floor apartment. I originally got it for the cats' entertainment, and am glad I did.

I originally had a feeder bell hanging from the second floor apartment's balcony, but decided it wasn't enough.

I purchased this feeder for the sparrows and used the cheapest bird feed available. After I switched to sunflower seeds only I am now getting sparrows, finches and starlings. The down side being that the perches were not designed for starlings so they have to reach around to one of the other holes to get their food.

Anymore, I can get 5 or so on it at once with two or three hanging out on the chain it hangs from waiting in line.

I really love this little feeder and have had it since December '08. Never once had a problem with squirrels, but it may be because of the way I have it set up.

Biggest complaint is that the perches break easily when squirrels land on them! Also after 2 winters the plastic tube had a couple cracks.
