I got two of these for Christmas (one to use [and have stolen], and one to save for later], and last weekend I finally installed all the batteries in one (you have to put AA batteries in the feeder roof and AAA batteries in the little "tiki man" unit). Bad news on functionality: mine made noise three times and then stopped (which was before I even took it outside and put birdseed in it), and the seed capacity is only about a cup or so.

The noise it makes when the motion detector does go off is a brief not quite musical alert with a not quite drumbeat, and a buzzy voice saying a hard-to-discern "oogadah boogadah."

I still like it, because it's silly.
