Feeder quality declined (oriole jelly feeder)

We had an earlier edition of this feeder for a couple of years. It had metal chains and hanging ring which made the feeder quite sturdy. Recently, it was knocked off the shepherd's hook and damaged on the ground beyond repair (probably not our neighborhood raccoon this time.) We have had lots of orioles %26 other songbirds feeding from it this year, so I ordered a new a new one right away!

Perky Pet Lowers Standard

Perky Pet changed materials for their Chain from metal to plastic. Very weak, poor quality and not durable as their former design. Would NOT recommend this product because of this decision by Perky Pet.

It does the job of attracting Orioles, but it's a bit messy. The drainage holes should be covered first as they leak jelly onto the ground which attracts ants and also makes the twisting device that dispenses the jelly sticky. That device could also work a bit better than it does. But as I said, it certainly attracts Orioles and other birds that love jelly.

Great oriole feeder. Four star because it’s so tippy. You are guaranteed to get sticky. Once you get the hang of the metal chain it gets better. Would buy it again.

This feeder works GREAT. I like that I can hang it from an ant moat to keep them out. That was my primary reason for going with this design. I like the 2 stations, but they don't seem comfortable using it together where they can see each other. I used a little spray paint to create a visual barrier between birds. It's nice to have the dual reservoir!

Easy to use

I actually ordered two. One came with a heavy chain the other a plastic chain. The heavy chain one held up but the plastic chain did not. I enjoyed watching the Baltimore Orioles. Very easy to use, I took the plastic container off and just affixed my jelly jar to it.

Orioles do love the jelly! Unfortunately so do the...

Orioles do love the jelly! Unfortunately so do the squirrels...they have learned how to pull on one of the chains and tip the feeder over, thus spilling the jelly on the ground where they can get it. Would be better maybe with 4 chains, to make it more stable.

Not only orioles but cardinals as well....

This feeder is totally amazing! I immediately had Orioles at my feeder and they loved the grape jelly. But to my surprise, I have also been greeted by Cardinals, and a Woodpecker. Yes, I couldn't believe it but they do share their love for the grape jelly. They are all regulars now and sharing nicely.

Simple to use!

This Oriole bird feeder was perfect for my son's yard. The feeder is simple to use, just twist in a jar of jelly. My son's yard is now filled with lots of beautiful orioles that give him hours of watching pleasure.This Oriole bird feeder was perfect for my son's yard.

The Orioles Are All Over This

Purchased this in-store. We have 3 different style oriole feeders and the birds seem to choose to use this feeder first. It took them a day to figure out how to land on the tray as the chains are fairly close together. This is very lightweight which concerned us with the wind but it hasn't been a problem. The only thing we're not crazy about are the rainwater drain holes in the tray. The jelly melts in the heat and drips through the trays. Otherwise we are very pleased with this feeder.
