Review on 🐦 HHXRISE Large Bird Feeder with Suction Cups, Seed Tray, and Separate Drinking-Water Sink for Outdoor Birds - White by Jessica Lawson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

You get what you pay for

I have bought two of these birdhouses but have only installed one so far. They're not that easy to assemble yourself, especially if you have small hands and little strength in them (I have mild arthritis). Both would be significantly faster. It is almost impossible to attach one of the corner anchors to the sloping ceiling and drive the screw at the same time. I ended up using strong double-sided mounting tape to hold the dowel in place and still had to tuck the feeder between my thighs while inserting the screws with a cordless screwdriver. To that end, it would be nice to put some glue or tape in the box as well. The rented house I currently live in has window bars on the outside of the windows, so I couldn't use suction cups to attach the feeder to any window. Instead, I hung it in front of the kitchen window. Several birds have seen it during the day or so and now come here every day to dine. Unfortunately the attached water plate is leaking making it unusable until I finish it. I just haven't had the courage to take it off yet. I figured if I took it off to clean it I'd caulk it next week.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
