API 7521 Floating 1,500-Watt Pond De-Icer/Heater

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Backyard Birding
from: API


This item shipped very quickly, but as soon as I opened the box I was hit with the instructions that, unless the heater was going into a metal pond, an additional part must be purchased. Otherwise the heat element will wander over to the side of the pond and supposedly cause a fire hazard, although I'm a lot more considered about it burning a hole in the liner. They give you the part number for the guard, but they just tell you to ask your "dealer" for the part. They didn't even list a website address or have a phone number to call. I did manage to find the corporation through a web search, and am able to order the part online for about $10. Still, this is a POND heater, and no ponds are made of metal. This mean everyone will have to buy the ... Read More:

ACE Hardware - Garden Pals 2 # 015650-01 "Living Accents" Classic Design Bird Bath - Bronze Finish

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Backyard Birding
from: ACE Hardware-GARDEN PALS 2


The bird bath does not look like the picture online! It's more gold than bronze, and it's lightweight plastic. I did fill it with sand, and I'll put small stakes into the ground to keep it from being blown over by heavy winds. It doesn't look plastic though. Overall, for the price of $16.99 plus shipping that I paid for it, I'm not too dissatisfied. Nice addition to my garden, and it is a lot taller than most bird baths.

This is the best water mover. This is my second one to purchase. The other one ran all spring thru fall for 2 years non stop. Would not be without it.

Avant Yarde Lantern Style Hummingbird Feeder, Rustic Metal and Glass, 14 3/4 Inches High

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Backyard Birding
from: Avant Yarde


I give this a rating of 2 stars.

It's pretty, it's not too flashy. BUT.. after cleaning it with hot water twice, the wire frame around the reservoir fell apart.

All the positives don't mater if it falls apart and becomes unusable on the second cleaning!

Okay: positives: the birds loved it, it was apparently easy to feed from. They managed to drain it within about 4 days, but as I say - I cleaned it well twice and it fell apart.

Best-1 32 Ounce Hummingbird Feeder

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Backyard Birding
from: Best-1


I have a couple of these feeders, but I don't plan to buy any more of them. They work OK, but to my eye, they are just plumb ugly. In addition, over the course of a year or two in the sun, the bright red plastic fades to a faint pink color (see my photo, above), which is a problem because bright red is the color that draws hummingbirds. As you can see in my "War of the Hummingbirds" video on YouTube, I keep about 25 hummingbird feeders filled during our fall migration season.

My favorite is Perky Pet's model 209 "Our Best," which Amazon also sells. Perky Pet 209 "Our Best" Hummingbird Feeder, 30 oz capacity It's the same capacity, just as sturdy, easier to clean, and the plastic stays bright red. They're also a little less expensive. ... Read More:

Bought two of these after seeing orioles at our humming bird feeders. The bottoms of each are made in two parts that screw together. The problem is that both of them slowly leak out through this joint and will become empty overnite. They are worthless!Opus 449-2 Oriole Feeder
