Gingerbread style birdhouse - Style 30206 Review

Poorly designed. Birds don't like nests when there are two entrances to the nest, so I covered the top one up. Also, the bottom hole has littled clearance and I am afraid the nestlings will fall out.

Wild Finch Blend Bird Food Review

The birds love this seed. At $1 per pound, and the fact that shipping is by Amazon Prime, it's reasonably cost effective compared to other bird seeds on Amazon.
My one complaint is that a five pound bag is much too small. They should be selling this in a 10 pound minimum size, and preferably have options for 20 and 50 pounds.

This is an absolutely gorgeous hummingbird feeder. It looks great close to the house and the birds love it. It doesn't leak like some of the bottom opening feeders. You'll love it!

Esschert Design Birdbath & Feeder-Antique Brown Review

Esschert Design Birdbath and Feeder-Antique Brown
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really disappointed when I got through all the packing paper and discovered the size of this "birdbath." Ashtray is more like it. It's maybe 12 inches long and about 8 inches wide -- I didn't measure it; that's an estimate. But the point is, it looks like a full-size birdbath in the picture, and it's nowhere near that. I ordered it as a replacement bowl for the birdbath I have, and this thing wouldn't even cover the hole.
It's nice for an ashtray. The thing is, there's a small hole on one side of the "trough" that's not supposed to be there. Maybe that was just a defect on the one I got. There's two holes on the edges where you screw in the birdies, but then an extra hole where the water's supposed to go! duh! I'm sending it back!

Bloom Callipe Review

I just bought this hummingbird feeder and haven't been using it for very long, but it has a couple of problems that are obvious. First, it doesn't hang level, so one of the feeding tubes is lower than the other two. But, such is the nature of hand-blown glass, so I can live with that. The other thing that bugs me is that you can't fill it any higher than the feeding tubes. It is supposed to hold 20-ozs of nectar, I made 16-ozs and much of that leaked straight out. And because it doesn't hang level, it's even worse. It is very pretty though and I look forward to hopefully attracting many hummingbirds with it!

Songbird Essentials Squirrel Spinner Review

They love this thing. I recommend having it face a window where you can watch them play. They will usually hang upside down and twirl it around, while eating.
We already wore out our first one and decided to replace it. The first one lasted nearly a decade.
It's such a simple design, but they seem to really love it. The nails are nice and long, so it holds the corn cobs on really well.

I have this feeder and had seven hummingbirds this summer in my Rhode Island yard. I don't like to clean so I could put the caps in recycle and use a new soda bottle each time I fill it. The hummers will fly away soon but they will be back next summer! this is the second summer I have used the HUMM and I plan to buy another for next year. Also going to give as gifts in December.

Red Carpet Studios Birdie In The Woods Birdhouse, 14-Inch Tall, Old Man Face Review

Red Carpet Studios Birdie In The Woods Birdhouse, 14-Inch Tall, Old Man Face
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this whimsical old man bird house because I thought it looked like my husband! LOL! I am a bird house lover and this was so unique I had to have it. We have it up on a telephone pole in our back yard. It's been up for a couple of years now. On the upside, it's the most unusual birdhouse I have and the commentary on it is constant. On the downside, I have never seen a single bird go inside the nose. I would LOVE to see this and if it ever happened, a photo of that moment would be worth a thousand words.
Maybe it's because there is no perch for the birds to sit on under the opening in the nose; apparently it's difficult to fly up and into the nose. Not that I myself would ever want to fly up and into someone's nose so maybe that's the same reason no birds ever go inside this bird house!
It's a novelty for sure! I don't regret the purchase because it's a fun addition to my birdhouse world! I also purchased another 'old man' birdhouse to compliment this one and they are pretty cute one above the other on our telephone pole. Here is the other version which is softer and just as unique:

The quality is excellent! This birdhouse should stand the test of weather and time for years and years, unlike a lot of other birdhouses out there. There is nothing flimsy about this, the construction is well done. I'd give it 5 stars if the birds actually used it; the design and uniqueness of it are exceptional!

MINI WINDOW HUMM FEEDER Review

Average Reviews:

The one I bought didn't include the little flower so I can't say how it does for hummingbirds and it didn't include the suction cup either. I can suggest an alternative use for it though - a rooting vase.
The ring holding it to the butterfly portion can be opened and the glass can be replaced upside down. It can then be hung with string and a hook, it's very cute that way and I have some herb cuttings in it. The glass portion is also sturdy enough to be just set in the window sill like you would a bud vase.

Down here in Arizona the nectar can go bad in just a few days, So cleaning easily is a must. This is ht ebest for that that i have found. By the way don't use anything but reverse osmosis water and pure sugar NO coloring! I find the ratio of 1/4 cup sugar and 8 oz. of water is good.

Birdscapes® 278 Rustic Green English Garden Hummingbird Feeder, 18 oz capacity Review

The feeder has 2 tabs in the female screw in area that accepts the bottle that prevents it from going al lthe way in. THey are too long and the neck of the bottle is above the rim of the feeding tray. I had to san down the top of the female screw in section as well as cut about 3/16 off the tabs inside the screw in section to prevent the sugar water from ibbediatly running out on the ground. Once I made the necessary modification the feeder works perfectly. It;s a beautiful feeder, the mold maker of the tray and bottle should be "written-up".

Cast Iron Birdbath Adorned with Hummingbird Review

I bought this for my Mother for her birthday. She has not even had it 3 weeks & it has completely rusted out.
Per the seller and I quote "Customers do not complain about the rust because they understand that iron will rust outside. If you wanted a birdbath that wouldn't rust you should have purchased a plastic or resin one".
The seller was accomodating in giving me a price adjustment due to my Mother being unhappy and was very prompt in his responses.

Please know that this product is made of plastic. However, it looks nice. I've had many compliments on it. I didn't have any trouble putting it together and nothing broke. My only concern is will the sun eventually crack the plastic.

New Bird-X Inc Sparrow Free Magic Halo Hanging Tube Stationary Or Hopper Protect Birdfeeders Review

New Bird-X Inc Sparrow Free Magic Halo Hanging Tube Stationary Or Hopper Protect Birdfeeders
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've heard about this product from several print and media sources and all were positive. However, everywhere, including this site, indicated that it would work for all feeders, including hanging. What they don't tell u is that it doesn't work for a shepherd's hook type hanging since the halo is over 30" in diameter and I've not been able to find any hook or arm extension from the pole that extends any where near that. So unless u can hang your feeder from a tree or a hanger that extends over 30" from the house, this product will not work.
I have no trees near the house and have a vinyl sided house, so unable to place a hanger on it. I contacted the company and they had no suggestions. They should be clearer in the description that you need over 30" of clearance between the hanging feeder and any vertical surface.
I did not give it 3 or less stars as I wasn't able to access it's efficacy.
