Birdscapes 366 Tall Tulip Garden Lantern Feeder, 6-Pound Capacity (Colors May Vary) Review
We are very pleased with the Birdscapes 366 feeder. It looks great and works well (our birds love it, too). Alerted by an earlier reviewer who reported that his feed tray did not drain well, I took the precaution of using a power drill to slightly expand the size of the drain holes on the tray (easily done). After several days of rain, I checked the feed in the tray, and it was still dry and attractive to the birds. We suspend the feeder from a wire strung between two trees (using a pulley on one tree to lower it), and hang the feeder from the wire with several feet of fishing line. Our very, very active squirrels are defeated by this arrangement.

Customer Reviews
Plastic perches - Kira Connally -
I expected this feeder to arrive with a metal lid and perches, since the product info mentioned powder-coating. The top is metal but the perches are plastic and not squirrel-proof at all. Also, I expected glass inserts and these are plastic. For the price, it should be metal and glass and it should not be called squirrel-proof, as it isn't.
Absolutely beautiful! - Cathy Powers - Weaverville, NC, United States
This feeder is beautiful enough to compliment any place you decide to hang it. I have it just outside my guest room/computer room window so I get to enjoy it anytime. It's very well made and looks much nicer in person than in the "catalog" on-line. Not too many birds have found it yet, but I know when they do, it'll be a busy feeding spot.
Fine ... as long as it doesn't rain - Jeff4U - Conyers, GA USA
Hi folks. I don't have spare time to review every product I buy here with over 250 orders in the last year. However, I do feel obligated to mention or warn others when a product fails under normal ordinary conditions.
This bird feeder looks very nice, it holds plenty of bird seed, and I have no problems with the funky lid or filling the feeder. (I don't like the flimsy plastic glass)
I wondered "WHY are the birds completely ignoring this feeder when I clearly see it's still half full of seed? They used to like it. What's the deal?" Hummm.
I quickly discovered the problem. What happens is; every time it rains, the bottom area (tray) gets filled with water and saturates the seed, turning it into a thick muddy paste. At this point, the birds have no interest. After examining the feeder, I noticed the "tray" has little tiny drain holes - not quite the size of lead in a pencil. These drain holes are obviously insufficient. I doubt I can drill the plastic holes larger without breaking the tray.
In summary, I find it surprising that no other reviewers mentioned this problem. Ultimately, my recommendation is to only buy this feeder if you hang it in a dry area, such as in a pavilion, under an eave, or a similar location. For me, it's time to go bird feeder shopping once more.
Be well,
Jeff
