The orioles love this feeder. The perches are great and are retractable.

It has the best capacity for nectar and is attractive as well. My only complaint is that the oranges, that are molded into the sides of the feeder, need to have the bee guard and beak opening of a different color.

The bee guards are not the greatest. When hanging, the nectar seeps out around the seems where it screws together and constantly drips. The juice leaks from the joint where the two pieces fit together when a bird lands on it or if the wind blows it.

The top of the box was tented and taped. As the inside heats up and expands, it creates pressure and then the liquid just starts to seep out. Leaks are very harmful to the birds when it gets on their feathers.

If i don't take it down every two day i get mold in the feeder. Impossible to wash out properly without taking it offline to soak in bleach for a whole day. Regular bottle brush can’t scrub into the corners well.
