spikes unglue quite easily

not well designed.

Although the product I ordered was not what I had in mind and I had to return it, the company was more than helpful in sending it back. I didn't have any problem at all. PetSolutions should be the standard for all American companies to follow. If I could have, I would have given PetSolutions a rating of TEN!

C. & S. Prod. 610 Squirrel Log And Feeder Review

C. and S. Prod. 610 Squirrel Log And Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We live in a rural, wooded area. Tons of squirrels and chipmunks. I hung this up and kept an eye on it for over two months in the late spring, early summer. The squirrels completely ignored it. I noticed that even the raccoons didn't bother with this Squirrelog. The reason I give it 3 stars, instead of 1 or 2 stars, is perhaps this Squirrelog would be better received by the squirrels if I'd hung it up in the winter, and food was more scarce? I'm not sure, but our winters aren't cold anyway.
In any case, it became both a home and a source of food for little bugs/beetles, so I finally threw it away.

Songbird Essentials Squirrel Spinner Review

Songbird Essentials Squirrel Spinner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

Twirl-a-Squirrel Baffle, Green Review

Twirl-a-Squirrel Baffle, Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked up one of these to try to keep my bird seed being eaten by the birds in my backyard instead of the greedy squirrels. (There is a squirrel feeder in the yard as well, but the squirrels still climb up and go for the more expensive bird seed.)
I give it 3 stars because it is a bit more finicky than I would have hoped for. According to the instructions that come with it:
1) Works on feeders up to 8 pounds - not 10 as described above in the description. My feeder is on the edge.
2) You can't hang it from a rope of anything else not rigid. My feeder hangs from a long chain and already has a rain guard over it. Due to weight if I put the Twirl-a-Squirrel above that chain and guard then I exceed the weight limit and the instructions say I can't hang it off the end of the chain so it is kind of limiting.
3) It triggers when it detects 1 pound of weight. Unfortunately this is sensistive enough to go off just from birds using the feeder. It is not uncommon for there to be 10+ birds on the feeder and sometimes another will land "hard" on the bottom of the feeder and start the twirling.
4) Instructions say to take it down when windy. I haven't had it long enough to know how sensitive it is going to be to wind yet but this does concern me as it is often windy in my backyard.
5) If your feeder has a screwed in hook on top of it then the twirl-a-squirrel can unscrew it from the feeder when it rotates. Not a problem for me but could be for others.
On the plus side it does a great job of chasing away the squirrels so far and the birds have been persistent with dealing with the false alarms that send them flying away.
I hope this has been helpful to others who are considering giving this a try. I give it a thumbs up overall and recommend it.

20 inch Hanging Squirrel Baffle Review

20 inch Hanging Squirrel Baffle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Some, but not all, of my squirrel population outsmarted this baffle. However, I then hung another baffle between this one and the feeder, so they have 2 obstacles to cross, and that helped a bit more. This definitely would work better with a short feeder (4-5 inches). The longer feeders give the critters more options when coming down off of the baffle(s).

Copper Top Double Suet Cage Feeder Review

Copper Top Double Suet Cage Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

The copper top suet feeder is a flimsily made piece of junk. The copper top is no more than a piece of copper flashing. Add the cost of the product to shipping and handling charges and discover how outrageously over priced this item is. I could have done much better at a brick and mortar store and wish I had. I would have returned it but didn't want to hassle the additional costs, so I cut my losses and stuck it up on my porch. The product did not even include a hanger, if you can imagine. The birds are totally embarassed to be seen hanging out at it.

35001 Cling - A - Wing - Part #: 35001 Review

35001 Cling - A - Wing - Part #: 35001
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the third cling-a-wing bird feeder I've purchased over the years. I don't recall having difficulty assembling the others. The swivel cover for the seed receptacle is hard to move the first time. You need to FORCE it, which doesn't seem logical. And the metal bolt that holds the whole feeder together doesn't protrude from the bottom for the connecting nut to have a good "grab" on it. I ended up filing off some of the plastic around the bottom hole so that the bolt could stick out farther. Then I could get 4-5 good turns on the nut! Now it's fine.

Bought this a gift for my girlfriend. You can use any type of birdseed but sunflower/cardinal mix works well. It is ceramic so you have to be careful when handling or cleaning but seems very durable. Looks good in the back yard and squirrels haven't figured out how to lift the lid (yet).

Ez Fill Bottom Suet Feeder Review

Ez Fill Bottom Suet Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First of all this is a suet feeder, not a window seed feeder as stated here. I bought this somewhere else but the birds wanted no part of it. Tried sticking branches in it but no luck. The mesh openings are too small. When filled I believe there is too much weight pressing on the screen keeping the birds from grabbing on. I ended up taking the roof part off & pressing it onto a standard wire suet basket which has worked out perfectly. Now the suet stays dry & it keeps out the big birds allowing the little guys to eat in peace. This was an expensive way to get a covered feeder.

Locking Chain, 18" Review

Locking Chain, 18
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This bird feeder chain was exactly what I was looking for. It wraps around any size limb and twirls easily to minimize bird seed spilling from the feeder. Some seed always falls out, but the fact that it rotates with the wind, or a push from an animal definately helps to minimize the situation. I would recomend buying this chain and hanging your bird feeder properly. Fully adjustable too!

Large Hopper Feeder Hgrn Review

Average Reviews:

This is a great bird feeder. It is fast and simple to fill. After about 5 years of use the cable that it hangs from broke. I replaced it with a much thicker cable and have had no further issues. I also made my cable a bit longer this gets the roof farther out of the way when filling making it easier to fill. I wish I would have gotten the larger size though as I've got enough birds to clean this thing out in a day now.

Coveside Woodpecker Suet Feeder Review

Coveside Woodpecker Suet Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Took about a week for the birds to use this feeder, but now the woodpeckers and other birds use it every day. The best part is that my relentless squirrells cannot get to it because the openings are smaller than regular suet feeders. The woodpeckers rest their tails on the wooden tail rest so it works exactly as described.

Deck Clamp For Birdfeeder Pole, Black Review

Deck Clamp For Birdfeeder Pole, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using this on an extra deep deck railing - close to 6" - it really does seem like it should fit any size railing too. It tightens up by turning the eyescrew to the left, not to the right as you would think. It's out year round in NY, holding a pole, extra wide tray and cover. I highly recommend Droll Yankee products.
