Barrier Guard Feeder Perch Accessory

My bluebirds LOVE this perch accessory that fits the barrier guard feeder. The instructional video on how to assemble the perch was extremely helpful. Also, the larger aluminum dish replacement unit is great for mealworms & holds plenty for my 4 soon-to-fledge bluebird babies.

My bluebirds enjoy this feeder, and the accessory perch makes it easier for them to stop before they enter. It’s a sturdy worthwhile addition.

This is a must have item for the Bluebird Feeder! The birds love to land on them before venturing into the feeder. Nice sturdy design, highly recommend!

Birds love it better than my wooden dowels

Very nice, heavy, stainless perches. I set them with the seam down so they don't fill with rain, and later, ice in the winter time. Strong enough where large birds and squirrels will still try to feed. I thought, I'd need a baffle, but squirrels just give up after falling off. The perches add balance, where the cup stays filled after the cage rights it's self. All in all, the entire setup is a very worthy perchase. Happy!

The perch really helps the birds hop into the feeder.

I originally wondered if this perch was too large or wouldn't be beneficial to the birds however, I'm really glad we ordered it. It was easy to install on our feeder, and a lot of the little birds seem to appreciate having a place to perch prior to diving into one of the open spaces in the grid around the feeder. Sometimes they seem to sit there and wait for a spot to open up inside the feeder. For the bigger birds, their weight starts the feeder to swing and tilt too much, and it tosses them off the perch. Pole mounting the feeder might be a different issue though. For our use this perch has worked out exactly as we had hoped.

Much better than using wooden dow rods as improvised perches. Very sturdy.

Very pleased with this product! Definitely get the perch and aluminum cup!

From my own experience, I would advise anyone buying the Barrier Guard feeder to spend the extra money and buy the perch assembly. I found my Blues spent some time on them before deciding how to get into the feeder, and without them I don't think I'd have the great success that I did. Oh, and while you're at it buy the larger aluminum feed cup as well.

We purchased the bundle, feeder and perch, highly recommend getting the perch. The blue birds can easily enter the caged area and feed all they want, we have up to 5 birds in the feeder at a time. Easy to install. Definitely a must have.

If you have the barrier guard feeder, this perch is a game changer. The only bird that would use my feeder without the perches was a downy woodpecker. The birds love sitting on the perches before enter the feeder. So worth the money for my favorite feeder.

The doves were landing on the perches, but once they figured out they couldn't get what's inside, they stopped.

These perches are great for the bluebird cage. Now my bluebirds have easy access into the cage to eat.

The perch arrived missing 2 disks the perches screw onto.

update:
received the missing parts and all looks good

customer service was excellent!!

these things work great.Increases the amount of bluebirds at our feeder by a large margin.

Very sturdy and easy to attach to the bluebird feeder but the perches are way too long - they extend so far out that the breeze makes it bang on my large shepherd's hook. Will remove a couple to stop this. Also the large perches make it easy for the bully birds to light and guard the feeder - they reach in and snatch the dried mealworms that get scattered. Shorter, thinner, perches might work better, rounded (looped) perches similar to those on some hummingbird feeders.

Easy to put together and though I haven't seen a lot of Bluebirds on it (the reason I bought it), there have been a couple of sightings.
