Perky-Pet® Oriole Feeder - 32 oz Nectar Capacity

I've owned a few of the Perky Pet Oriole feeders, the pancake model, the tri-green leaf one, etc.. I put out my tri-green leaf one out a few weeks ago and had a few orioles, but not as many as I've had. I remembered that this 32 oz feeder, broken a little and discolored from previous seasons so I took it apart and revived it. Amazingly within just a few minutes, I had several orioles feeding. Maybe my oriole families have come to recognize this shape, I have no clue, I just know that it's my best oriole feeder. I've got 2 more on order today.

I have this feeder and it does leak between the base and the round disk that contains the feeder openings. I solved this problem by using Plumbers tape on the threads before I screw the disk back on. The bee guards aren't the best. I had to duct tape one port closed because it didn't seal to keep the bees out. This was the best feeder I could find that worked for me and had bee guards.

I have an overwintering oriole in NJ, so I bought this model, the only one I could find during winter. It leaks like crazy and the dried sugar water around the edge makes it very difficult to open the feed to clean it. I need a pair of pliers. Perky Pet has a good reputation but this was a terrible mistake.

I purchased this feeder in May (2020) with high hopes. It works great . . .for the bees. LOL they LOVE it. Took it over from the Oriole’s about mid June and have swarmed it the rest of the season. I took it down for a few weeks trying to dissuade them but no luck they were back in a flash. so I kept it filled for my pollinator friends but will have to look elsewhere for an Oriole Feeder.

Please go back to the drawing board on these feeders. I have to buy these just to give my hummers a chance to get to their feeders without having to fight through the orioles. The hexagonal feeders were the best to date. Trust me they were not perfect but the spring activated perches were the best. Please stop trying to design feeders that are cute and design an industrial variety that just gets the job done. The Orioles will appreciate you.

I have purchased a few of this feeder. The first one was perfect but got old. Since then every one I have tried has leaked. You can see the sugar water run out when a bird sits on the perch. I don't know how to resolve this problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I love this feeder and so do the birds but was disappointed to wake up one morning and the feeder was on the ground cracked i guess with the sun hitting the plastic it eventually made it brittle and broke...

I have this one and it leaks all of the time!

Very poor design and quality. The nectar leaks constantly making a sticky, expensive mess. Refilling the feeder is a gamble, you might get it filled, get the bottom reattached, and get it rehung before it all leaks out or maybe not. This feeder is headed to the garbage can. Very disappointed with Perky-Pet! I gave the feeder a "1" because I had to choose a rating and 0 wasn't an option.
