Perky-Pet 50173 Paul Revere Bird Feeder

I was so excited when this bird feeder arrived. It really adds elegance to my backyard. It's the prettiest feeder I've ever seen and it's quality made at such a reasonable price. My big issue with it is that it's not squirrel proof. I didn't expect the squirrels around my area to be so greedy. They've been able to shimmy up the hanging pole, cling onto the sides of the feeder by wrapping their body around it, and steal all the seeds from the birds. I'm not sure what to do? I wish the design had been squirrel proof. The squirrels have even bit through some of the wood to get at the food. I'm disappointed for now :( and just took it down this morning until I have a better plan. I guess I have to buy an extra component to deter the squirrels. I would have given it 5 stars otherwise.

I bought this for my father for Father's Day. My father thought it was so well made and attractive that he didn't want to use it outside, but as a decorative piece in his home. He decided to buy a new shepard's hook worthy of hanging the feeder. It has become a real piece of "art" in his backyard. My dad rarely makes his feelings known, but he repeated over and over to me, "how beautiful and well made" this feeder is. This rated right up there with his new John Deere riding lawn mower.... You can't go wrong with this as a gift or for your own home.

This feeder is well constructed, has a great design, looks great and holds plenty of bird seed. The perches are larger than I expected. We enjoy watching the birds and the birds love it!
