Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

It happens year after year; you put out seed for the lovely songbirds in your yard and end up feeding the neighborhood squirrels instead. This handsome feeder solves the problem using a unique, weight-activated system to protect the seed inside. A double-sided design feeds more birds at a time, while its extra-large, 6-pound seed capacity lessens the need for refills. A copper-colored bail-style handle allows you to hang it almost anywhere in your yard, deck, or patio. The feeder also has a lovely chew- and weather-resistant finish for maximum durability. This item is covered by a lifetime warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Top Flight Squirrel-Proof Feerder poorly rated, September 3, 2005

The bird feeder arrived with numerous cracks in the plastic where the hanging mechanism is attached. Also, the spring that closes the feeder is much too rigid allowing, at its lowest setting, for even a heavy crow to land without closing. Obviously, I am not very happy with the purchase though it appeared to be a good idea. It needs much better quality control!

This review is from: Perky-Pet 5140-2 Fortress Squirrel Proof Wild Bird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)

I was very disappointed in the produst and the lack of information for setting it up The squirrel proof apparatus I had to try and figure out myself since there were no directions. Now I see the birds cannot get at the seed to eat it. There is the same amount of seed as when I filled it 4 weeks ago. As a new customer I am really disappointed. If I buy from Amazon again I hope I will get more satisfaction from the product.The bird feeder looks nice but is not functional. I am contemplating breaking it open to try to modify it so the birds can get to the seed.
