- Woodstream/Perky Pet changed the 481 to a news style known as the 481F. As the 481 stock depletes we will merge into the new design. The difference is their new "Flexports". Note: The companion sunflower feeder (480) remains the same as it has in the past.

- All suppliers are reporting difficulty fulfilling orders. Many say:
- they cannot get enough staff
- offshore manufacturers cannot get staff
- raw materials are difficult to secure (plastic, sheet metal, wire rod, and even corrugated cardboard for boxes)
- shipping containers are short and vendors have to bid to get them
- there is a shortage of ships for container
- unloading at ports is difficult due to demand and lack of staff
- shut downs in the US, Mexico, China and India
- this will likely continue through the summer
