Perky-Pet 780 Outdoor Hanging Water Cooler Bird Waterer and Dispenser,Blue, 1.5 Qt Capacity

My "water cooler" jug just arrived and I got it filled up for the birds that frequent our feeder. I'm super excited to watch them discover it! One thing I'd recommend when you fill this up is, wait to flip it right-side up when you're outside! I just splashed water all over my counter and floor because I wasn't thinking of the overflow when flipping it. Came out pretty fast. Other than that this looks dependable and it lightweight. It looks slightly smaller than some of the pictures make it seem, but that's perfectly fine--otherwise you'd be tipping your feeder pole over. The bottom part that screws onto the jug is made of plastic, but the surrounding rail should hold just about any small to medium bird without bending or breaking. The S-hook that comes with it is made of metal.

It's heartwarming to see them stop by for a drink, especially during hot summer days.The Perky-Pet 780 is a must-have for bird enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys watching wildlife in their backyard. It combines functionality with a pop of color, making it a win-win for both you and your feathered friends. I couldn't be happier with this charming bird waterer!

The birds love it, its still holding up well, I take it down in winter though. Thanks Perky!

I have 14 bird feeding stations and 4 bird baths on 3 sides of my home, but bird baths are a real annoyance, since here in Gulf Florida we have so many mosquitoes. Their larvae require constant emptying and refreshing of the bird baths.This bird waterer is a welcome addition to my yard. It is inexpensive, easy to handle, and seems quite durable. It has taken a while for the birds to gather up enough courage to drink from it, but a titmouse has led the way. I am not sure whether larger birds will follow suit, due to the small size of the unit.The drinking area is too shallow to support mosquito larvae --- perhaps the water simply heats up too much in the summer. Thus, I only need to refresh the water supply infrequently. A nylon strap and a carabiner (supplied by me, not included with the bird waterer) make it very easy to remove the waterer for service.5 Stars. And I intend to purchase at least one more!

It's good this is a smaller size, so easier for senior citizen to lift, clean, put together,etc. What wasn't as good, and I really could not determine this until I received it, was the tray is small, and the holes are such that after filling and flipping over( must do this fast or gets all over everything, haha), and getting it level, the water does not fully surround the tray and only a little stays in tray. If you try to tilt it to fill tray, it just runs over the edge. I think I'll prob get one of those standing pedestal trays for birds to bathe and/or drink in in the future. Not worth returning...had out hangin on tree limb for a few days now, and no birds have come and drunk from it yet..maybe it takes few weeks? It says to clean twice a week, but if no birds coming and water looks good, will not clean as frequently. (...and yes, I have it under some hanging trees, shaded and area where birds come to eat suet).

Incredibly well designed. Very good size (smaller than we expected), good quantity of water, easy to hang, looks good, does NOT rust!!!!!! Very happy to buy another one.

The birds need water too Tilhis is very nice for the Birds

It does not let water flow into the tray until a hole is drilled into the neck of the bottle at where you want the water top fill line to be in the water tray. I did just that and it works now that the air vacuum was partially eliminated. In simple terms it is now letting in air so the water can flow. Simply screw the bottle on all the way before you drill so the holes line up on both the water tray and the bottle when hole is done. Also do not drill the hole above the water tray or all the water in the bottle will flow out. I am now going to work on a extended wooden perch with dowel rods to add to the water tray and may help the birds access the thing easier.
