The wreath looked great in the box!
The manufacturers must know it may fall apart as they include an onion-type bag for hanging the pieces.

Comments about Fruitcake Bird Wreath:

I was surprised at how big the wreath was when it arrived! It's a great size, which allows for more than one bird to use it at a time. It can be hung on a stand or just up in a tree. It looks nice in the yard, even as it gets eaten. It does begin to crumble a bit as it's used, which can be messy, and it brought the squirrels around.

Great treat for any outdoor birds!

Comments about Fruitcake Bird Wreath:

I hoped my hard-to-buy-for Aunt would get at least a few weeks joy watching the birds from her window enjoying this Winter bounty but only 1 squirrel cleaned it out in 2 days and then the whole wreath vanished. She enjoyed watching him though.

Comments about Fruitcake Bird Wreath:

We hung it on our bird feeder, but the wreath broke into two pieces, and when it rained, the wreath disentigrated into mush.
The cardinals adored it - especially the fruit and nuts! It also attracts squirrels and I think they jumped on it and broke it into two pieces. I gave three as Christmas gifts, and hope that theirs didn't break so readily.

The animals loved this tasty treat

Hung up outside. 15 minutes later, went outside and found pieces on the ground. Looked up and only 1/5 of it was still hanging. Just fell to pieces. Apparently it was not solid.

Comments about Fruitcake Bird Wreath:

This is the third year in a row I bought the Christmas wreath for the birds and was completely happy previously. However, this one was different and would not hold together. Had to make my own wire tray to lay it on since it fell apart. I bought two and BOTH had the same problem so not a one-time issue.

Comments about Fruitcake Bird Wreath:

I purchased two of these to give as gifts. The packing was very nice, very "gifty". They looked so good I decided to keep one and try it on my own birds. When I opened the wrap the wreath smelled wonderful, almost too good for the birds. I put it out in the net provided and the birds flocked to it. The pecans attracted loads of chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, and even some wrens. If these were a bit cheaper I'd feed them year 'round.
