Review on 🐦 Perky-Pet 399 Advanced Upside Down Thistle Feeder by Ashley Nelson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price and functionality

I almost avoided this product based on the many reviews from buyers who must be a combination of incompetent, impatient, or mean (free riders!). Luckily I saw a review (which I can't recover from at the moment, for reference) reporting satisfaction with the construction and design of the product and satisfactory use by birds. The birds were encouraged to be patient for up to seven days to find a new feeding spot and come up with a tricky design. So I decided to risk my saw. The product arrived on September 2nd, less than a week after the order date and a day earlier than promised. By noon the next day (my birthday is 3^4!) the feeder was filled with thistle seeds (aka Niger) already purchased and hung on a U-shaped flower pot holder. The support is actually a heavily distorted S-shape, you probably know what I mean. The first bird we (me and my brother Bro) saw was noon today, September 5th, five days earlier than we expected. Build cheap? Even if you have to replace it annually, it's still a good deal, especially when you consider expensive specialty seeds (thistles) that cost over a few dollars a pound. No bird on day one? Maybe you should consider playing video games instead of feeding birds for fun. Too expensive? See comment above on build. If you think you might like this product, take advantage of the saw, as I did without hesitation. If you are smart and act quickly, you may even be able to get a refund for non-compliance. If you think you're not going to like this, but you've read this far because you just love my writing - - Thank you very much, amigo!
