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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Another oriole feeder defeated by bees.

I bought this feeder specifically to keep the bees out after my last feeder, which had no mechanism to keep them in, went from an Oriole feeder to a bee feeder within hours of installation. became a feeder. So I ordered that. He promised to scare away the bees, since the birds could open the bird feeders with their beaks, but the bees couldn't. You COULD puncture one of the valves and get liquid inside. And here it all ended. It was actually quite amazing to see how they worked as a team and put a lot of effort into making it work, but as can be seen in the picture this feeder has now become a bee feeder too. I love bees but wish they wouldn't pollinate flowers instead of drinking sweet water meant for birds. (I don't even know if lots of water with sugar is good for her). Also, it's not the most durable feeder. The plastic bladder that holds the liquid is very thin and heavily dented on one side. I had to work slowly and carefully to get it back into shape without cracking. All in all this is rather disappointing and my search for a way to feed the orioles and not the bees continues.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quality
