Questions and Answers for Perky-Pet Squirrel-Be-Gone II Green Country Style Squirrel Resistant Metal Wild Bird Feeder - 12 lb. Capacity

A:  It is not true. I have been using it for almost a year now and use feeder for red cardinals. My feeder is always busy with red cardinals mostly and some blue colored birds and small birds. I love it. I think it is what you offer to the birds which matters. 

A:  I found that this feeder is best when it is under a tree.  I am not sure if the sun heats the seed up too much. My present house has no trees in the back yard.  I had to move it to the front and I got lots of birds

A:  Would not recommend this product. Didn’t take long for squirrels to figure out how to defeat it.

A:  Replacement parts aren't available for this feeder. Please contact us directly at 855-737-5973 for assistance.

A:  Absolutely yes

A:  Yes, if you set it correctly.

A:  You can adjust it to handle various weights to a certain degree

A:  The weight activated perch can be adjusted for lighter or heavier squirrels. We have not specifically tested it for larger birds such as black birds. The sensitivity may need to be adjusted to see if it will close for larger birds.

A:  the first one on the top...

A:  This would be dependent upon the size/weight of the local squirrels in your area.

A:  Maximum

A:  Yes

A:  A shepherds hook would be a better solution.

A:  Yes this feeder can be mounted to a 4" x 4" wooden post. The feeder can also be mounted directly to a 3/4" pole without the included adapter.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, it is hanging from a shpherd's hook. Purchase one which will support the weight of the feeder with the bird seed.

A:  Looked like was hard for the birds to reach inside trough as well. I returned it without assembling

A:  Yes, it comes with a very sturdy handle that attaches to both sides and goes above the feeder. Even though mine sits on a post, I use the handle to bring it in the house to clean and refill.

A:  I don't know if it does or doesn't. It seemed off balance to us so we took it back.

A:  We apologize for any confusion! This feeder holds approximately 8lbs of seed and will weigh approximately 12lbs when filled to capacity. We have made our Product Managers aware of this confusion!

A:  Somewhere in between

A:  This time of year depending on your location it could take awhile to get use to it. Put some seed not a lot on the ground by it see if that helps

A:  I have it hanging on a pole on our deck so I spread seeds on the railing and on a table. They easily see those then they will land on the feeder and start eating from the perch.

A:  Give it time for the birds to get used to it.

A:  Birds are creatures of habit and can take some time to adjust to a new feeder. To aid in this transition, we recommend temporarily taking down any other established feeders. Placing a shiny pie pan with a handful of seed on the ground under the feeder may also help attract them to the feeder.
