Review on 🐦 Opus Plus Oriole Feeder - Durable 32-ounce Plastic Feeder by Perky-Pet 449-2 by Liz Lee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor construction of this leaking product

I couldn't find a Perky Pet Oriole feeder that I had bought in the past so I went with this one. The original I bought lasted about 3 seasons here in Michigan. There are a lot of "wrong" things that don't make it a good feeder, but I was willing to grapple with those things, such as: B. Difficulty cleaning small openings. Container of solution and difficult to hold while filling (unless you have big man hands). The main thing is that when filling the feeder, the seams along which the halves of the globe were glued together leaked. As the nectar poured out from the top I figured I could quickly flip it over to the base, thinking the leak would be limited to the top where the "S" hook makes a connection. Yes and no. The liquid then flowed out of the holes in the feeder base. It was a waste of money. I have yet to find a quality oriole sugar water feeder that not only won't be destroyed by squirrels and other critters, but also won't produce all the nectar like this one. Disappointed as our Orioles only arrived this week.

Pros
  • Shipping was very quick
Cons
  • Out of style
