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

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.

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.

The all metal design will last a long time.

Seems great. I've only had it for 1 week, so too early to tell. Sturdy. Easy to fill. I think it will be just what I was looking for.

I have two of these feeders, and they’re great! They hold a lot of seed, and they’re easy to fill. Yes, some of the feed spills, but ground feeding birds love it and eat it quickly. Like many, we have a problem with feeder-raiding squirrels. There are NO squirrel proof feeders! However, there are ways to discourage them. One of the easiest I’ve found is to mix in hot chili flakes with the bird seed. It doesn’t bother the birds at all, but the squirrels don’t like it.

I have used one for three years exactly like this and it was still good, but we were moving

This bird feeder is great and will definitely attract birds. We put it up on a tree in our front yard and within two days started seeing cardinals, titmice, nuthatches, and chickadees. A week later, the avian visitors have only increased and now we're seeing blue jays, cowbirds, waxwings, and even woodpeckers. The challenge is that it has NO protection against squirrels, and if they find your feeder (they will), they'll clear it. Do what you can to keep it out of reach from squirrels!

Great and popular birdfeeder. Platform is wide enough for most birds to perch; even squirrels find a way to enjoy the seeds and nuts. Only downside is top is sometimes hard to unscrew off and the screw gets stripped so hard to keep the top on and screwed down well. Not too easy to clean, several panels come out. Good hanging ring.
