I am looking for a replacement for my plastic window hummingbird feeder with perches.. can't seem to find one and this Perky pet one has not good revi

I bought one of these about a year ago and love it. I've had no issues with the suction cup or the tabs. The hummingbirds seem to really love it too. I would recommend that after filling, don't turn it upside down until you are outside in case some of the nectar leaks out of the little holes. Other than that, for 10-12 dollars, I think it's a good deal and easy to use.

I totally agree, but other than a glass one, it seems to be the only one available. I go through at least one a year. It would be so easy for the company to make the refill from the top. The tabs always snap off.

I bought 3 of them and the all broke. The suction cup is not strong enough to support the weight and the perches are extremely flimsy. Would definitely not reccommend

I like mine...the only problem I have with it is ants get into it........the hummingbirds use it a lot. You will also have some damage to your window ledge or bricks on your house where the sugar solution sometimes leaks onto it. I guess it's a mold or fungus that grows and looks black and terrible; but I put up with that because I love having the hummingbirds so close to view them.

The reason for the bad reviews is mainly because it's made of plastic. Mine has lasted 3 years in very hot Texas climate in direct sunlight. That's not bad really. My hummers love this feeder, prefers it over any other I have and it's easy to clean. So far the only part on them that break are the perches, which they don't really need. The only reason mine did was because it fell. After 3 years it fell and the back that clips to the base broke. I wish I had a huge stack of these I love them so much. My favorite hbf as well as the hummers. HTH

It worked great for us. We did not use the suction cup but attached it to the wall right above the window and could still see the hummingbirds.

This is a great product. I love seeing the birds through our kitchen window, and we have two so we really have a good time when it's time for them to head south. I haven't had any problems with mine. The suction cup works, the tabs are fine, so I'm not sure what happened with the ones who gave it bad reviews. I would not only recommend it, I have purchased some for family members, who also love them.

Due to the small perches only sparrows and smaller birds feed. The feeder needs to be redesigned. The cage catches on the upper lip. It does not pevent squirrel as they stand on the bottom lip and push the cage up. It may have been desiged by someone who does not feed birds or the item was not field tested. I send the compaany an e-mail but I never heard from them.

Plastic windows. I like the product, the birds love it. Difficult for large birds like Blue Jays to hog the food because they can't hang on well. It is hard to fill when suspended because it is tippy and food spills out. You need to hold in your hand while filling.

This Perky Pet suction-to-the-window is the best that I have found.It is so cool to watch the hummingbirds from inside the house!Yes, it is made of plastic, and it will break.It's not that expensive, less than $15. You just have to buy a new one.I have 3 of them attached to our windows, with at least 2 backups for when they break.We live in the woods of Lyme, CT, and I have never had either squirrels or bees get at my hummer feeders.

I'm not sure if they are the exact same but I would go with a different feeder. Mine stopped working after two months.

I haven't found one. At least in my immediate area. I just bought the litter trays to suffice until I can order Just the Crystals again.

Go to www.woodlink.com click on contact us and send them an email telling them your problem along with model number if you have it and name of the brand of your feeder, which is Varicraft. Maybe they can help, they help me with a part I needed.

The hummingbirds are accustomed to narrow openings and will still drink the nectar without the flower. I agree with an other respondent who said it is cheaper to replace the feeder, though save the top part because it will come in handy.

I have the Coveside panoramic feeder. There is no finish that I see on mine. They have kept it quite natural. I have other types of window feeders and the same with those also. If you were to put certain finishes on it, it might make the birds sick. I'm happy with mine. My older window feeder has been in the window for probably 5 years or more and no damage to that wood either. You will be happy, I'm sure.

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

It's the perch. I presently use an IKEA metal bucket hanging from chains. Since July (in Texas) it has been popular with sparrows but no other birds. The titmouse loves to drink from the ant trap over the hummingbird feeder while leaning from a tree branch, which isn't always fresh. I finally added a branch across the bucket. More sparrows. Titmice don't care. I change the water every day. I tried a hanging bird bath but the squirrels broke it. I might try a regular bird bath next. Birds DO need water, but they also need to feel safe and may have another source that feels safer to them.

Yes, replacement flowers can be purchased. They are available both online (Amazon, e.g.) and in stores that carry the Perky Pet feeders.

This company sells a 32 oz. feeder that is designed like this one. That size might fit your needs better. Amazon sell it.

I didn't have much luck with this feeder. The squirrels figured out a way to get at the seeds. After about 3 weeks of use, a couple of the screws came loose and one of the perches fell off. I couldn't find some of the parts in the snow so I just wrote it off as a loss. You might try hanging some weights off the perch and see if that helps. I'm sorry that I can't be much help to you.
