Ethan Taylor Solar LED Lighted Arch Inlay Copper Bird Feeder NEW IN BOX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought this solar feeder less than 3 months ago. It's very nice looking; I liked the finish and the solar lights that come on at night. The birds seem to like it okay, although it's the least visited of our 4 feeders. We put a squirrel baffle over it to help protect it from the elements; squirrels haven't actually been too interested in this one so that hasn't been a big concern.

I don't have a problem with the metal cord and the lid on this one, like another reviewer stated. The lid goes up and down on the chain a little goofy when adding seed, but the top does close. Sometimes I have to hold onto the top part of the chain to help straighten it to get the top down.

If you're having issues with the solar lights being too dim or not turning on, replace the battery in the top with a better rechargeable battery. (Don't forget to recycle the old battery!) The one that came with the feeder was a 600 or 900 mAH, if I recall. Most typical rechargeable batteries you will pick up now will be 1800 mAH or higher. With the higher mAH the light is brighter and stays on longer. It doesn't last very long though, even with the better battery. Honestly, it's really pointless here in WI because I've yet to see one bird flying around in the dark looking for bird seed!

Here ARE the problems we're having with ours, again, after less than 3 months of use:
1. the color has already faded a lot, although I haven't seen any finish actually coming off
2. the 4 little perches keep coming loose. I check them once a week and almost every time at least one is unstable, making it unlikely a bird will perch there
3. the inside bottom of the feeder is at least 60% rusted and wearing through. The metal base is VERY thin. When I clean it out, I can see light coming through the bottom because of the holes through it (there were no holes in the bottom when we got it!) Not too good considering it's filled with very small seed. As I mentioned it's protected from the elements, and I empty/clean/dry/refill after any significant amount of rain. It obviously got wet at some point, but really? Shouldn't bird feeders be at least somewhat resistant to precipitation issues?

I expect this is going to last another few months before I have to dispose of it. It's unfortunate such an attractive little feeder could be made so poorly. This feeder was a waste of money, and I don't recommend buying it.

Birdscapes? 111MA Deluxe Grandview Bird Feeder, 8 lb capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just put the feeder up, and the finches, cardinals, and tufted titmice are getting interested, BUT The first cardinal flapped and fluttered and finally gave up.I looked closely, and the perches are plastic tubes over the end of a machine screw used to hold the perch assembly.This is fine in itself, but the tube spins on the screw - thus the cardinal acrobatics.He was trying to remain upright.It was quickly remedied with a few drops of superglue on the threads, but this could have been done at the factory, and saved me the time and the really upset bird.

Squirrel Blocker Select Bird Feeder, 11 1/2" Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been through a few feeders looking for something simple that beats the squirrels. This one fits the bill. Its all metal construction prevents chewing, and the distance between the inner wire mesh feed tube and outer cage is sized to allow the birds to reach the seeds with ease. The squirrels can't get at them. It has attracted woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice and cardinals (which eat seeds that spill on the ground below it). It has a simple locking tab on top that seals the lid but allows for easy refilling.
I just wish it was made in the USA instead of China, like so many other things. I'd happily pay more for that.

Birdscapes? 350 Squirrel-Be-Gone I Feeder, 6 lb capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the feeder is filled to the top, its thin plastic sides come apart under the weight of seeds, spilling them along the joints and preventing the anti-squirrel cover from sliding down or lifting back. Returning right away.

The Birdscapes Squirrel-Be-Gone I Wild Bird Feeder features 8 U-shaped perches, 8 feeding ports and holds 6 lbs. of seed. The interior seed tower is surrounded by metalwork. The feeding ports have sturdy metal perches that allow birds to feed comfortably, but when the squirrels perch on them, their weight causes the entire metal casing to slip down, completely blocking the feeding ports and their access to the seed. The eight perch/feeding station set-up, coupled with the anti-squirrel technology makes this feeder one of the most economical and convenient on the market !The clear, shatter-proof plastic reservoir makes it easy to monitor seed levels.

Birdscapes? 351 Squirrel-Be-Gone II Feeder, 12 lb capacity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although this feeder appears very sturdy it leaves much to be desired. The center wire that runs through the center of the feeding bin allows for the feeder to spin wildly in the wind. I had to drill a hole on each side of the roof and attach a 'Y' shaped wire that eliminates that spin. Further, the feeding tray where the birds eat the seed has no drainage holes and fills with water. Again, I had to drill four small drain holes to correct that problem. All in all, the feeder is not worth the money unless they correct these flaws. Other than that, it's perfect.

Twirl-a-Squirrel Baffle, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up one of these to try to keep my bird seed being eaten by the birds in my backyard instead of the greedy squirrels.(There is a squirrel feeder in the yard as well, but the squirrels still climb up and go for the more expensive bird seed.)

I give it 3 stars because it is a bit more finicky than I would have hoped for.According to the instructions that come with it:

1) Works on feeders up to 8 pounds - not 10 as described above in the description.My feeder is on the edge.

2) You can't hang it from a rope of anything else not rigid. My feeder hangs from a long chain and already has a rain guard over it.Due to weight if I put the Twirl-a-Squirrel above that chain and guard then I exceed the weight limit and the instructions say I can't hang it off the end of the chain so it is kind of limiting.

3) It triggers when it detects 1 pound of weight. Unfortunately this is sensistive enough to go off just from birds using the feeder.It is not uncommon for there to be 10+ birds on the feeder and sometimes another will land "hard" on the bottom of the feeder and start the twirling.

4) Instructions say to take it down when windy.I haven't had it long enough to know how sensitive it is going to be to wind yet but this does concern me as it is often windy in my backyard.

5) If your feeder has a screwed in hook on top of it then the twirl-a-squirrel can unscrew it from the feeder when it rotates.Not a problem for me but could be for others.

On the plus side it does a great job of chasing away the squirrels so far and the birds have been persistent with dealing with the false alarms that send them flying away.

I hope this has been helpful to others who are considering giving this a try.I give it a thumbs up overall and recommend it.
