Perky-Pet 253 Wild Oriole Jelly Bird Feeder - 32 Ounce Feeder Capacity

Cleaver idea for feeding the cardinals. Having the jelly flow from the jar wasn’t always successful. It was easier to take the jar away and fill the dish when needed. Also better for keeping the dish clean. I would recommend it because it’s cute and easy to hang in the tree. It can be used with or without the jar of jelly.

Very happy with the Perky-Pet 253 Wild Oriole Jelly Bird Feeder - 32 Ounce Feeder Capacity. Very easy to clean and to attach jars of grape jelly. It attracts both Baltimore Orioles and the Orchard Orioles, a few Yellow Finches enjoy a nibble of sweet jelly as does the large Yellow-belly Woodpecker! I would suggest buying a small jar of grape jelly, not sugar free, and use the small jar for the feeder, and buy the larger, less expensive jelly to refill the small one. You can EXPECT bees, and yellow jackets to share, we had swarms but thankfully they were more focused on the jelly than me. Wait until it gets dark to get it to refill or clean, the bees like the birds go to bed at dark too.

This feeder was very easy to set up. Just pop on the chains and add jelly. The chains took a little tweaking to get it to hang straight. The chains are plastic so I hope they will last.Sure enough the jelly from Walmart did fit. However, the stirring paddle did not reach the jelly and I had to stir it to loosen it to get it to fall down into the feeder. With the heat outside the jelly does seem to be falling down on its own without any additional assistance and the birds are happy. For the price it's a pretty good feeder.

Attracts oriels but also attract the yellow jackets. I like that it holds a standard grape jelly jar even the jars from the dollar store. Easy enough to clean, we use an old toothbrush to clean out the holes.

This feeder really does the job, the Birds love it, does exactly what it is supposed to. Jelly comes out little at a time, does not clog up inside, NOT MESSY at all, cleans up so well, we only fill one third of way as birds do not eat a lot of it at a time so this way jelly stays fresh and there is no waste. Just an FYI so worth the money and we put away for next season so it stays nice for next season. Enjoy

The plastic hangers are not strong enough, especially if you use a 30 oz jelly jar, like I do. I’ve had three, and the hangers on two of them broke. One of those 2 was hung outside my window, over a cement patio, 2 stories below - when that one fell, the plastic base shattered. The other one was hung from a tree trunk; when the hangers on this one broke, the feeder didn't crack. So now I have it sitting on top of my pedestal bird seed feeder. And that works OK. However, the plastic stirrer (which is supposed to help the jelly come out) broke.For the 3rd one, I didn't even try to hang it. It just sits on the pedestal feeder, next to the other one. The stirrer on this one also fell apart. Now I just shake the whole thing until some jelly comes out.

I love this bird feeder and I would highly recommend it. Thank you for making something the birds love. too. I use jelly without "high fructose corn syrup" too keep the birds healthy. I love this product and I now have 2 (1 for the front yard and 1 for the back yard).

I like the fact that you can just rotate underneath to let out some jelly. I did what others suggested and intertwined wire through the chains. Then I twisted the ends at the dish and at the top circle. Worked perfectly. Reinforced it and not tippy at all. Birds loved it, well they didI for about a month until the bees found it and they drove the poor birds away. I’ll figure out something next year on how to keep the bees away.

The Orioles love grape jelly and this is the only oriole feeder that you can just screw the jar onto the top. It works fantastic this is the third one I've had although this is the only one I purchased at Amazon and paid twice as much as I did for the other two.

Sorry I missed the sale price

This is a good sturdy feeder. Easy to fill with the jelly and holds a decent amount as well. Really attracts the birds

I can not write a good review as this only lasted 2 days and not because of how it is made, from the squirrels, they broke it. I never even got a chance to turn the dial to release more jelly, it seemed like it would work great and the first day the orioles were going to it, but then the squirrels came and broke it

They advertised it was a metal chain to hold the feeder but it is plastic. The feeder is very cheaply made. Not sure how long it will last with the weight of the jelly jar on it. Not worth the price they are asking.
