Can the plastic seed container be purchased separately as a part.....the bear has taken it down several times and finally he broke the plastic insert&gt;

I have no idea, but I'm guessing if you contact the manufacturer, they could tell you. I think the bins are all connected as one unit. They are not separate.

I've got two of these feeding stations and need new dishes for both. I haven't seen them for sale as stand alone items anywhere :O( It's a poor do, as the plastic dish is obviously the bit that's going to break or get blown away within a season or two.

Mine is attached to the Outter box cover itself. If yours is broken I'm sure you could rip it off and use a different one that is not attached but I don't know if they are sold separately.

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

I purchased one so many months ago, I don't remember how it came...but if I remember correctly, the inventor of this feeder was on Shark Tank recently, so he may not have that type of packaging if he is starting out & doesn't have a big business yet. Just a guess. TIP: Don't leave this feeder unattended until you get the squirrels conditioned to stay off of it, because they will gnaw the bottom plastic to make the seed fall out. That is the only flaw I've noticed, everything else is great about this feeder.

I just saw the other responses. Mine has a hole with a plastic piece that fits in if not using one. I just got mine a few weeks ago.

Please understand I'm no expert nor do I have a lot of experience and I think I made some errors. That being said, I did manage it by myself. I think a seed skirt would be a good idea

ditto! We've had ours since our 7 yr old was 1yr. We recently got it out for our 1yr old but have just 3 balls.. & he loves it. Maybe check the Playskool website. I was hoping i could just order extras on Amazon but i do not see them listed.

Hi Debra. I cracked my plastic globe cover and ordered this unit to replace. you have to buy the whole thing (cover and base) in order to get a cover -- they don't seem to be sold separately. I bought the nested neon replacement bulbs at the same time . ta! (Rick)

Sorry, I can't really help you. I didn't have that problem during the short period of time my feeder was in use. It was destroyed by a hungry bear shortly after I installed it! I guess if there is a space where a small bird could get into the feeder, it's a possibility. It's been quite a while since I had my feeder, so I don't remember much about it. You might want to call the Perky Pets folks -- they might be able to shed some light on the problem. They are an old, well-established bird-feeder company!

Have you tried it without a seed plate? Have you also tried to turn it inside the box by hand, could be something caught behind seed plate.Ruben

I don't really know, but for this feeder I don't believe you need a seed tray. Seeds do not come flying out of this type of feeder like they do others. We have had a few seeds sprout but it's almost nothing.

When you clean it out (and taking it apart to clean out is easy) you may find some seed caked on top of the feeding openings. But that's it. The majority of the seed stays dry in its plastic box.

I had a bear get at two of my feeders last year and he broke the bases. On chance, I emailed More Birds and they sent me replacement parts! It would be worth an email. Jim

The openings are pretty small....a normal mixed seed with sunflower and corn pieces etc. would be too large for the openings. I'd say it's better suited to just niger seed.

Good question. We lost a clip, too, and can't seem to find a supplier with Varicraft parts. Searching online was a bit frustrating b/c I got nowhere. Love the feeder, though.

Hi Bradley -You may be able to buy the planters individually, but not from Amazon. You would need to contact Strathwood to see if they offer them seperately.Here is my latest experience with these containers - I was able to purchase a pond filter basket that fit the larger strathwood container making it a self watering system. The smaller strathwood, I wasn't as lucky with.Though the strathwood are nice for the price, the Lechuza are much more user friendly, and extremly well made.
