Customer Reviews for Perky-Pet Sun and Star Lantern Rust-Resistant Durable Easy-to-Fill Hanging Bird Feeder - 3.5 lb. Capacity

I agree with all previous comments. This is a pretty feeder and the birds LOVE it BUT ~ the seed is all over the ground ~ much more so than my other feeders. I have only had it out for two weeks ~ I brought it in today to clean out a small amount of residual center seed that had gotten wet from the rain. I used my kitchen sink sprayer ~ the copper coating immediately started coming off as soon as the water hit it. I was shocked to be honest. I haven't seen this on other reviews but I will say ALOT of the coating came off immediately. I will be returning it for this reason.

This is a very pretty bird feeder and I had high hopes for it. Birds are attracted to it and sometimes there are three or four birds on it at one time. Seed spills all over the ground all the time.

Hated this. Yes it’s super cute BUT it’s so messy and it spills everywhere!! So much seed wasted because the birds can land IN the tray and flick seeds off. I would not recommend this at all.

More of a squirrel feed than bird🤣, but they get some if they're fast enough.

Love this bird feeder. This is the one the birds fight over. It's easy to clean and fill. Made very well. Very wide tray compared to most feeders.

Birds love it and it’s pretty. I hung it from a hook (the green kind from HD that are about one foot) from a tree branch. Then I extended it another foot down with a small rope, so I can see it from up on my porch beneath the oak tree branches. I tried hanging it from a Shepards hook in my garden but it was too near the white vinyl fence which the birds destroyed with their poo. The squirrels are happy to eat what drops on the ground but they don’t try to leap onto it from the branch above.

Easy to hang. Food flow easy for birds to get. Birds love hanging around it

good choice... birds always visit... make sure to purchase a squirrel baffle, or else squirrel will climb the pole...

This feeder is large and stable enough for larger birds, such as blue Jay's. It's also quite lovely in the yard.

The birds love it. I was worried about the squirrels but I haven’t had a problem with them yet.

Good feeder. Had to make seed hole smaller with duct tape or seeds came out too fast.

There is no perch for birds to stand on, the lip of the feeding trough doesn't have a way for the birds to grip in the front of their talons. the hundreds of birds who visit my other feeder, gave up on this one after discovering they couldn't hold on. unfortunately, I had already painted the sunshines on the sides so I couldn't return it. To make due, I made perches with small L brackets, wooden dowels, hardware and wire. It's the most popular feeder now. I like that it holds a lot of food but I wish they had made it with perches to begin with.

Hung this on a 6 foot Sheppard’s hook in the backyard. The birds ( and squirrels) love it. Provides our cat with hours of entertainment. Well made and easy to replenish after it has been emptied out. Photo is of the first Sheppard’s hook I tried. Too easy for the squirrels. Well made.

I loved my bird feeders but unfortunately we had a radom bear attack. It destroyed one of the feeders and bent brand new pole.

We are in a new construction area with no squirrels so this feeder works well. Easy to fill. When we have a lot of rain, seeds on the landing ledge get watered soaked, I just brush the soaked seeds off.

Easy to use and large to accommodate plenty of birds. Love it!

The earlier version of this feeder, with the solid metal hanging loop that screwed onto the feeder roof, was more secure and a better design. This little filiment loop looks very insubstantial and flimsy by comparison, and it allows too much swinging of the feeder when birds are on it, plus it makes the feeder dangle much lower from its hanger.

Durably built, but I wish the lid on it would hold on tighter.

It’s easy to fill. It’s also easy for the squirrels love to jump on it enough to spill sheds all over the yard.

This one looks decent but I end up cleaning out more plants that are growing in it than feeding birds. If it is completely covered and protected it probably would be fine but any exposure to water and then things start growing.

Very sturdy. The birds love it.

Well designed, lid locks into place, lots of drain holes so rain water will drain, but seed stays pu.

The weight of this feeder helps to keep it from being blown around and losing all the seed. It has holes in the bottom pan to allow rain to drain through.

It is good quality and holds a lot of food. Only negative is that I found that larger birds didn't have enough room to land and feed. I had to add perches to give them extra space and it worked great.
