Perky-Pet GSB00344 Green Seed Ball Wild Bird Feeder

This is a well made, sturdy bird feeder. If you make sure you snap the lid back in place it stays and will not come off. Even the birds cannot get it off. I put black sunflower seeds into it and it holds a lot. My birds love it and were not scared of it at all. Even in the wind, it does not deter them. I would buy again and the price is reasonable.

Nice and affordable! Sits out in the weather, hot Florida sunshine and sometimes rain. Has a long attached chain which I have wrapped around to shorten for my use. Made well, red powder coating! Still looks brand new after much use! I use shelled striped sunflower seeds in mine and they don't fall through the holes...the birds hang on the feeder ball and grab the seeds!

Nice size and cute feeder. My only complaint is the top is a little hard to get off to fill.

I've had this for about a month now. Birds love it. It's easy to fill and stays closed. It's obviously not going to hold the small birdseeds. I have a few different kinds, so I used the largest seeds for this one. Sunflower/black sunflower works great. I have used just those, and I also used a mix with sunflowers in it. What I did was filled it, and then shook it out over a bucket so anything small would fall out and the bigger things were left. This prevented all of the seed just falling out completely. I hung it on a shepherd's hook in my flower garden. This way anything that the birds drop leaves me with gorgeous sunflowers easily planted. Win-win. I have also packed it with peanut butter and seeds and put the whole thing in the freezer for a homemade suet. Love it.

This feeder works great, but it is very small. I have a no/no hourglass feeder, but the perch rings are perfect for squirrels and grackles to settle in and enjoy the food, so I was/am looking for a similar metal feeder without the perches, since I can't manage, physically or fiscally, to refill my large feeders when the grackles and squirrels attack.Most of the small birds (goldfinches, house finches, nuthatches and chickadees) love this feeder, and have no trouble clinging to the mesh and feeding. But due to the small size they are emptying it in less than a day, despite having two other feeders to choose from. So I'm back to having to refill it daily, and while the $ cost isn't as high as the big feeders, I'm disabled and can't get out there every day. For this to work I would need three or four more, in addition to the big feeders, and at that point I might just as well go for one of the expensive feeders that closes when heavy birds or squirrels visit.Edited 05/08/17 to add that since the lid comes completely off with no attachment hinge or chain when it's open, it is very easy to lose in a snow drift; and to completely disappear when a helpful neighbor comes through on his riding mower. With the lid off the finches, sparrows, and at this moment a Rose Breasted Grosbeak can get in, eat, and leave again. Unfortunately the small young squirrels also can.It's hard to get a good picture, but if you look carefully you can see the squirrel inside the feeder.

I like it so much, I'm buying a couple more. It holds sunflower seeds securely so that they don't fall out whenever the wind blows. Birds have no trouble picking out the seeds. Sturdy construction that helps with my constant battles with the raccoons and squirrels. Good price, too! Top is not hard to open if you have fingernails.

The birds are enjoying this feeder and the squirrels can’t get into it!

Well made, attractive sunflower seed feeder - small birds are loving it~!

I use this feeder with another one which is attached to the window. They work well together. After a year of having them, I would say that the attached one is good for pigeons and this one is better for smaller birds. The thing is it is difficult to spot little birds. They come and go quietly. Perhaps, one needs a camera to record the fact that little ones are even coming by. Pigeons, on the other hand, make so much noise that you will not miss them)) Squirrels use both of my feeders.

Uma graça, ficou muito lindo no meu pé de jaboticaba.

This thing is for the birds! But the squirrels like it too. Quite a site to see them hanging upside down on it to get a snack. The good news is the squirrels didn't damage it and can't get much out of it.

me encanto es de un material muy resistente y no tira alimento sus orificios son de buen tamaño y el color es muy llamativo para invitar a las aves a alimentarse voy a pedir 2 mas

hängt nun seit einem halben Jahr bei mir im Garten im Baum. Sieht noch genau so aus wie am ersten Tag. Die Farbe splittert nicht und nichts ist verbogen obwohl täglich Vögelchen verschiedener Arten und Größen und ab und zu auch Eichhörnchen auf der Kugel herumklettern und sich an dem Inhalt bedienen. Kann ich wirklich empfehlen.
