Cherry Valley Plastic Orange Oriole Feeder, 40 oz. Model 5547

I have owned several of these particular feeders. They are a HUGE favorite with the young orioles especially, but also just about any other backyard bird that feeds on nectar. Every piece comes apart for super easy cleaning, increasing your enjoyment time. As manufacturers make things more complicated, it gets more difficult to find the simpler, better products. I was thrilled to find this feeder on Amazon at so reasonable a price. I recommend this feeder for anyone who doesn't wish to spend all their time cleaning and maintaining their feeder. Simpler is Better!

I purchased this product after trying several other Oriole feeders. I was excited when I read the good reviews that this one recieved. Then I filled it, all the liquid dripped out of it from the bottom. My Husband put a strip on electrical tape on it and snapped on the bottom. It is ok now!

This was evidently made for looks, because the birds will not go near it. Maybe its in the "pretend ladder" they have to land on to get a drink. I never seen one bird go near it. I first put it out with my homemade syrup I use for the hummingbirds. Not one bird went near it, so I ordered the Oriole nectar from Amazon, and put that in it. Still nothing, don't think they even got close to it. Right now, the orange feeder is in the dumpster, so it was a total waste of money, for the feeder and the nectar. Save your money!

this feeder is the best! no need to add dye to it and the Oriole's love it I've tried a lot of feeder's and this one works! it is also liked by the Hummers, and all the woodpeckers!!!! the first two were perfect but the last one I got leaked, so we can't use it, can't return we have tried everything to stop the leak good product never had one leak before

This had other good reviews but I was disappointed with this feeder. When I first filled it and hung it up, the fluid in the top seemed to drain rather fast. I thought perhaps the wind made it sway so the fluid came out of the ports. Then I read that the ports should be moved so the opening is at the top of the port. I tried this. Unfortunately the fluid seems to seep out from the bottom where the two halves come together. It seems to me there should be some kind of rubber gasket to seal where the two halves come together. I turned the bottom half and got it as tight as I could, but the feeder still leaked. Other than gluing the halves together, I know of no way to prevent this from leaking.

I was hesitant to buy this feeder becasue of some of the reviews about the nectar leaking out the holes, but also read that if you turn the ports the correct way this won't happen. So far we haven't lost any of the nectar. I put it out of Friday, hung it from my porch eaves next to some hanging baskets. As I write this review on Sunday morning my first Oriole is visiting! I looked at Oriole feeders for quite a while and was not willing to pay the extremely high prices for them. This one was priced very reasonably and meets my expectations.

Was very hard to get closed without out leaking threads were off ir something

Bought the Orange feeder and we love it. We have had many visitors to this feeder since we've put it up. As to leaking - If you look at the flowers where they insert into the feeder bottom. The part that inserts into the nectar resevoir looks similar to a beverage straw. Looking into the tube you will notice half of the end has a plastic half moon shape covering the end, the other half is open. Make sure the open part is pointed toward the top of the feeder. If the slit isn't pointed toward the top of the feeder, the nectar will pour out when a bird lands on the feeder. Also, I just received a call from the manufacturer. They provide excellent, friendly customer service. When I told her I figured out why it was leaking she was so happy.
