Bird Bath, 14" Review

Bird Bath, 14
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although attractive, this horrible product trapped a tiny little chickadee as it tried to perch on the stand (I ground-mounted it). We discovered him after he had nearly pecked his own leg off trying to escape. I was able to free him by prying the bars of the mounting stand apart, all the while scaring the poor creature closer to death, and he was finally able to fly off where I'm certain he will die, either from trauma or an infection. I'm terribly disappointed with this product. Please be aware of this awful flaw and don't use the stand to mount the bowl.

Hanging Birdbath / Water Feeder - "Copper Spiral" Review

Hanging Birdbath / Water Feeder - Copper Spiral
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to hang on a high shepherd's crook over my wingspan copper birdbath. My hope was to have some dripping action from the hanging bath into the lower pan. I have no electricity in this area of the garden and don't like the gadget-y battery or solar water movers; I don't want to set up a faucet-driven dripper either - it seems wasteful and too far from the house to attempt it, or something could go wrong and saturate the area...
This product is very sturdy and great quality. There are no "shortcuts," not even in the hanging hardware. However, you can tell this is "hand made" in that it isn't perfectly symmetrical. Fine with me, but I thought I should mention it.
This has a long, attached copper hook.
Birds seem to prefer the drinker for imbibing because the water stays clean. Goldfinches in particular use the drinker; they usually passed by the bird baths, which are quickly dirtied by flocks of bathers. (No bird could bathe in this due to its construction, it's good for drinking only).
The item is beautiful to look at and its subtle movement with the occasional sound of water drizzling into the copper pan is a lovely touch.
The great thing with copper is that it can be left out year 'round. As soon as the sun hits it, even in the coldest winter weather, any ice or snow melts down enough to provide a drink for wintering birds.

Hayes 13053 Horizons Hummingbird Feeder, Antique Copper with Red Flowers Review

Hayes 13053 Horizons Hummingbird Feeder, Antique Copper with Red Flowers

It looks great and even has a perch for the birds but it is horrible. If you have it PERFECTLY upright its ok but if there is a little breeze or any movement the nectar comes POURING out of the bottom tray which in turn causes ants on your deck which then causes ants in your house! I ended up buying a not so attractive feeder for $6 and I have never had so many hummingbirds at my feeders before.
DON'T buy this feeder, get the cheaper ones that have little perches, well worth all the birds you'll get.

I have just received my feeder and it is just as described with the excetion of the size. I was expecting the feeder to be slightly larger, 12.5 inches in diameter, when in reality it is only 11 inches. With the size aside, I am pleased with my purchase.

Strathwood Iron and Bubble Glass Bird Feeder with Brushed-Copper Finish Review

Strathwood Iron and Bubble Glass Bird Feeder with Brushed-Copper Finish

I bought this bird feeder after looking locally for a large feeder - prices were out of sight here. This is a strong & heavy feeder. It may not hang on your average hook or limb. It's made for almost any feed except thistle. Ours is loaded with half chicken scratch and half bird seed mix from our local feed store. It easily comes apart and goes back together for refill or cleaning.
=- Edit of June 20, 2008 review and photos. -=
While still being a nice large feeder I found out that rain will fill the bird seed tray and soak up into the entire container of feed where it sours or ferments. The base needs to be worked over. I have a good metal and woodworking shop. I imagine I'll remove what base I can and still retain the feeder holes and assembly full length screw and attach a flat wooden and/or screen wire platform. See photo.

Enjoy nourishing a wide variety of birds with a perfectly beautiful and functional bird feeder. The feeding shelf circles all the way around under the feeder globe to offer ample perching space for several birds at once. And the glass and bright copper-finished design of the feeder gives it a handsome lantern appearance that coordinates beautifully with most outdoor lighting styles. And why not stay decoratively coordinated while providing a good service for the birds?
Measuring 11 by 11 by 13 inches, the feeder is compact, yet functional. Its lid unscrews from the top, allowing it to be easily filled with up to 90 ounces of bird feed. Designed to be rust resistant, the feeder is constructed of hammered bubble glass and durable iron with a brushed copper finish. It is easily cleaned with soap and water. Some minor assembly is required on arrival.
Strathwood décor has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

Avant Garden 8110-3 Looking Glass Hummingbird Feeder Review

I am ordering my second feeder today. I've been using the same one for 3 years now year round, because we have hummers all year long in Phoenix. It is still in perfect condition. I like this one because the parts are mostly metal, and the sun is brutal here on anything plastic. The only problem I've had with it is aligning the bottom correctly so the nectar doesn't leak out. I've mastered it now, so it's not a problem. To avoid breaking the neck off of the jar, I soak the unit in warm water for a few minutes before unscrewing. I'm also very careful not to over tighten. I fill it only half way, as the birds don't like the food if it's over a few days old, especially in warm weather. Here is a trick for cleaning your feeder. Put about 3 Tbls. of white vinegar mixed with two cups of water in the feeder. Add about 1/2 cup of white uncooked rice. (I use a funnel) and shake. The friction from the rice will clean even the dark mold off of the inside. Rinse well before filling.

Perky-Pet 7103-2 Copper Triple Tube Bird Feeder Review

I bought this particular Opus feeder on Amazon, Seven Years ago. It is amazing that the feeder not only looks great but also still is operating like new. Opus Company is the most cooperative manufacturer and they stand behind all their products.
I called them when an aggressive squirrel ate through the squirrel guard in about six months, only because I had it put it up with too large of rope. Though it was my fault, they replaced the top and sent it out to my house immediately 100% free!
Over the years, I have had questions about birds and feeders and they are quick to answer them. They know the animals that eat out of their products! Opus makes more than Bird Feeders, they make many different garden products and Amazon is their top seller of those goods. That is who they always suggest you shop through Amazon because as they will tell you "Amazon.com has the absolute lowest price on all" these quality products.
I now own seven Opus Feeder and other Opus Garden Products; all are in new shape with heavy use in the adverse weather of Kansas! Yes Dorothy Kansas!
Let us not forget to shop for these at Amazon.com, but go to http://www.opususa.com and look over the entire line of their products and get the best advice on outside birding and other great information.
