Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Birds need not only seeds, but also water, and you can make your yard more attractive to birds by providing both with the Birdscapes Garden Sip & Seed Feeder. The design includes two plastic silos with interchangeable caps and bases that allow you to fill each with either seeds or water. Each silo features an antique style, copper, two-tone finish cap and base. A decorative freeform hanger allows you to hang the silos in a variety of ways.
Two-Silo System Provides Both Seed and Water
Birds need water as much as they need food, and by providing both, your yard becomes a more welcoming place for birds. Some birds, like warblers and swallows, will only come if water is available. The Birdscapes Garden Sip & Seed Feeder comes with two complete silos, each of which can hold either seed or water.

Birds need water as much as they need food, and by providing both, your yard becomes a more welcoming place for birds. Some birds, like warblers and swallows, will only come if water is available. The Birdscapes Garden Sip & Seed Feeder comes with two complete silos, each of which can hold either seed or water.
Each silo features a matching interchangeable cap and base that lets you choose whether it will hold water or seed, allowing you to fill one with seed and the other with water. Or, fill both with water. During winter's freezing temperatures, you can fill both with seed. Each silo can hold up to 1.5 pounds of seed or 27 ounces of water.
Adaptable Design with Decorative Hanger
The two plastic silos are perfect for use throughout the entire year, even in the toughest conditions. Each silo features an antique style, copper two-tone finish cap and base, which serve to protect the feeder from above while providing a perching spot for birds below.
A freeform copper scroll hanger provides flexibility in choosing how to arrange the silos. You can hang both on either end of the hanger, or hang a single silo from the middle. The entire feeder measures 7 by 17 by 22 inches.

Very attractive, birds love it (so do squirrels),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Perky-Pet 737 Garden Sip & Seed Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
Cardinals, woodpeckers, mocking birds, wrens, finches, sparrows, and squirrels all love this feeder system. Squirrels might chew on the "saucers" -- they have chewed on mine, but the unit still functions well. I think there's a metal-capped version which might be less likely to show damage from chewing.
The seed feeder is easy to fill with a funnel-type reversible scoop and the water container is easy to fill with a water hose. However, you have to turn the containers upside down to refill because the clear chambers have only one open end. If the seed container isn't empty, you might want to pour the remaining seeds into something before turning it over and refilling. I do wish the seed chamber especially was accessible from both sides for this reason. I haven't had any significant problems with the seed getting damp, maybe because the birds empty it so fast! I am surprised how many birds actually use the water container. They actually do drink from it, however it does need to be cleaned with a bottle brush periodically. This feeder looks very pretty in my yard and is worth the price.

Attractive, but very fiddly to work with,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is an attractive, lightweight feeder that despite being made almost entirely of plastic does look nice and give the impression that it is copper. It's easy to install with the included hanger -- no assembly necessary -- and the hanger's scrolled design complements the feeders nicely. The trays and perches are very suitable to the smaller birds most folks like to attract, such as chickadees, nuthatches, and finches.
I've chosen to use sunflower chips in one silo and water in the other; so far, the birds haven't shown a lot of interest in the water, although the chickadees seem to like the "one-stop shopping" arrangement. My nearby neighbor has a nice birdbath, so it doesn't surprise me that birds might find the water silo's little tray less attractive. I bet it would be a very welcome feature if you feed birds in an arid climate, however; nothing attracts birds in the desert like water! Your satisfaction with this feeder probably depends on what type of bird feeding you do. I feed quite a lot of birds year-round with a variety of food ranging from safflower seeds to grape jelly, and this feeder probably won't be in the rotation for very long. It doesn't hold much seed (although it is convenient that both silos can be converted to hold seed just by switching the top and bottom around). In order to fill the silos, they must be inverted and the bottom screwed off, which means it can't be filled while it's hanging and needs both hands to fill it; even with the decorative finial removed from the top, it doesn't sit stably enough to pour in seed without holding onto it. This also means you'd better be able to pour from your seed container with one hand. Flipping it over to rehang it after it's filled makes using the water silo a splashy experience, too. I prefer feeders that hold a large quantity of seed for less-frequent filling and enable convenient pouring from a large bag of seed or a large scoop. I also prefer as few parts that must be removed for filling as possible since I'm sometimes working with mittens on my hands and trying to get out of the cold as quickly as I can. If, however, you want a small, attractive feeder that will look very nice on your deck or in your garden, you may really like this Birdscapes Sip & Seed. It's lightweight enough to hang from a shepherd's crook or small branch. The ports are large enough (yet also small enough) to allow you to feed many different kinds of seeds. Offering water is always a great idea for attracting more birds, or you can easily experiment with two different kinds of seed. If you have a setup where it's convenient to simply remove the feeder and take it inside to work with it, fiddling around with the caps and seed may not be an issue for you. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think I might just move it to my deck! Update: I've been using this feeder for awhile now and am still less impressed with it. The water silo was easily contaminated by the seed from the other silo, and between that and the hot weather, the water became foul in less than a day. I had to switch both sides to seed (again, it's nice that this is an option). Also, we had heavy rain, and because the trays are made to hold water, they did, long enough for water to seep into the seed, causing it to swell and spoil so that none could come out of the openings. It was easy to clean out, but irritating to have to do it. On a positive note, the feeder still looks nice despite exposure to rain and sun, and the smaller birds really like it. Even a downy woodpecker perches and pecks at the sunflower chips. I put a finch mix in the former water side, and it attracts a good variety, too. And, believe it or not, so far this feeder is not attractive to the squirrels in my neighborhood! They are always checking out the hopper feeder that is right next to this one, and they destroyed a finch sock in no time flat, which had the same mix I've now got in this feeder. For some reason, it has not occurred to any of them to hop onto this feeder and eat from/chew on it. If this continues, the feeder will certainly stay in use!

Bird Feeder,

This review is from: Perky-Pet 737 Garden Sip & Seed Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
This is a very practical, useful product with a new twist...it also has a 2nd container to use as a water dispenser for your little feathered friends! Now they can sip and eat. It also has burnished copper uniquely designed as both top and bottom mounts for the containers; also comes with a beautiful free-form copper hanger. I recommend it!
Again a first-time order and I definitely will be back to shop. Thanks Birdscapes! Birdscapes® 737 Garden Sip & Seed Feeder
