If someone told me this was made by handicapped people and sold for them I wouldn&#8217;t say anything. I didn&#8217;t see any of that when I was looking at this item on-line from various vendors. This wasn&#8217;t exactly the feeder I was looking for, but it was in the under $20 price range. Any more than that and I would have just made one. The threshold for my laziness was therefore $20.<\/p>\n<p>Purchased mine from Ace hardware on-line. Other than possibly shipping me their &#8220;best&#8221; one, neither they nor the shipper are at fault for this. The manufacturer simply has no quality control in place. Adding insult to injury they are using the Audubon name. I associate this kind of quality with North Korean knock-offs.<\/p>\n<p>The plastic slide in the front was simply cut to the wrong size and someone forced it in. I could barely get it out. It had a hard bow in it from being compressed like that. If you tried to put it in the other way it was a bit short on one end.<\/p>\n<p>Adding insult to injury the lid wasn&#8217;t even close to straight. A bit of inspection showed that the hing was fastened at an angle. Whoever did it noticed the problem and rounded out one of the Phillips screws trying to correct the error. That was the extend of their effort though. I had to back that baby out using needle nose pliers. It was too small of a screw head to risk a screw extractor.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got the lid straightened out I put the plastic back in and went to mount the thing on a tree in the yard. Boom! Big split in the side. The wood could no longer take the constant force of the plastic being wedged in place.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4595\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4595\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4595\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-screw-placement.jpg\" alt=\"screw placement image\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-screw-placement.jpg 640w, https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-screw-placement-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can see the hole from moving<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4596\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4596\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4596\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-front.jpg\" alt=\"front with bow\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-front.jpg 640w, https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-front-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">front with bow before trimming<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4598\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4598\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4598\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-big-split.jpg\" alt=\"big split image\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-big-split.jpg 640w, https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-big-split-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nice big split<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4597\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4597\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4597\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-gorrilla-glue.jpg\" alt=\"gorilla glue image\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-gorrilla-glue.jpg 640w, https:\/\/interestingauthors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/audubon-gorrilla-glue-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gorilla Glue overnight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes, I glued it without the screws in, then put the screws in before I took the clamp off.
