Review on Perky-Pet 1 312 Panorama Small Bird Feeder, Brown, 2 Lbs by Lisa Gunterman

Very satisfied! It feels fairly solid and well made - solid without being overly heavy. 24 hours after installation, it was visited by several small tits! (It's also easy to fill - just press the little button in the middle of the lid and the lid "releases" the wire and lifts up.) I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some of the big/heavy ones /squirrel proof bird feeders but for the new bird lover (or someone who is eligible) it's perfect! Also, it's lightweight and small enough to work well with my new Sheppard Hook Bird Feeder and Plant Hanger Hook. When it rains. If you have a lot of birds that eat quickly this might not be a problem, but I don't have many of them and after a couple of weeks there was a moldy wad of bird seed in there. I live in Portland so this may not be an issue in drier climates. It's not pretty, but I added a piece of aluminum foil around the wire on top of the hole and it seems to work to keep moisture out. . Also, the foil bundle slides easily over the wire when I need to refill.
