Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My bad. I didn't check the reviews. This feeder appears to be the same one that we had 10 years ago, but it is a cheap knock off. Very flimsy and has "springs" made of flat metal strips that within one week of humid weather are sticking. There are so many holes in the side of the feeder that the seed has clumped due to moisture, and does not fall forward to the opening. The bracket that is used to hang the feeder does not attach securely - it slipped out of place while hanging the feeder, resulting in seed dumped on the ground. This is the model we had that is far superior: Original Absolute Bird Feeder Model 7527. The perch is wood. It costs around $80. This is not the same as the Heritage Farms model 7533, which is another cheap copy, albeit with a wood perch.
