Hummingbird Feeder, Glass Bottle Bird Feeders, 5 Feeding Ports, 10-Ounce Nectar Capacity

I love hummingbirds, I love being able to offer them a place to feed, I absolutely hate having to clean out hummingbird feeders.What drew me to this particular feeder is that the entirety of the feeder is clear (other than the flowers and the hook). I can see how much nectar remains, even in the feeding reservoir - a light tap of my fingertip, and it's obvious whether there's a half inch of nectar left, or an entire inch. Clear also means I can see if anything other than nectar inside - mold growth, ants having met their doom, whatever. I can bring it in to clean as soon as an issue arises, so long as I'm remembering to check.This is easy to clean, easy to disassemble. I've been using two for 6 months, and my only concern so far has been that every set I purchase, the clear plastic bottom piece has cracks. The cracks don't seem to be a problem - nothing's started growing in them, there's no leaking, they're not getting any bigger, but there are definitely cracks. I've decided I'm okay with it; I live in the Sonoran Desert, the heat does a number on plastics so I'll be replacing these more often anyway, but we're doing great so far.The feeding apertures are pretty large; we haven't encountered any issues with wasps or bees, but we do have a woodpecker that comes for a visit regularly, looks ridiculous, but isn't often enough to deter the hummingbirds. I do have an issue with ants - just because they're ants, and once they figure out how to reach this feeder, they want to take advantage (they only understood how to reach one of my two feeders, until a week ago - it took them about 5 months to figure out the second). I wound up purchasing an ant-trap 3-pack, which came with blue flower shaped cups, hooks, and 3 "mascara wand" style cleaning brushes which I've found work terrifically well with cleaning this feeder's apertures (the only part of this feeder that does grow anything; it's minor, but the little brush takes care of it quickly - a smallish straw brush would work as well, though I suspect pipe cleaners would be too small unless braided or on the larger side to begin with). Have a bottle brush for the glass reservoir, works fine, haven't had any mold issues with it so far but continue to use the brush to make sure there's no nectar residue left behind.Because I have two of these feeders up, I make 24oz nectar at a time and split it between the two, and have perhaps two teaspoons of nectar remaining. In my neighborhood, they're lasting about a week. I only ever find foreign material in them when the ants make their way in, so I've a squeeze bottle and need to refill my blue ant-trap flower cups once a day. The bit of this feeder that the metal hook latches into is not an ant trap despite its shape, or else it's so shallow that it evaporates within a couple of hours due to my region.EDIT: Time to replace my old ones again. I wound up having to snap off the landing spots for the hummingbirds. The hummingbird sizes we get vary so only a few can take advantage of the landing spot, and the woodpeckers used them to clutch the feeders more securely. The flowers pop out more easily than they used to, so the woodpeckers pull them off, throw them on the ground, and go to town in the larger holes (contaminating the nectar faster, and allowing more airborne stuff in until I find the flowers and replace them). The only improvement I can imagine is making the flowers fit MUCH more securely than they do to begin with - sometimes they'll pop out with barely a brush of my fingers.

These are great for hummingbirds! They seem to love it! The colors are also vibrant. We only had to order a new one because a bad storm blew the other one off the deck and busted all the plastic pieces, but the thick glass of the feeder body did not have a scratch on it- so no extra glass shards to clean up! Definitely worth the $14.99 that I paid.

I love the size. The hummers seem to like the feeder. They visit it all day long. It's just perfect for the few hummingbirds I have over the summer months. I like the clear bottom so I can see in to determine what the liquid level is and if bees or bugs found their way to the nectar. The two things that I didn't care for is the small, very small, ant mote. The water dries up or gets drank up by the bees within hours. The other drawback is the small plastic flowers that cover the drinking holes. The flowers fall off way too easy during refilling/cleaning time. They don't snap in and lock into place. They basically just sit in the hole so they get knocked off everytime the feeder is handled.

This thing is a piece of JUNK. Don’t waste your money. Looks pretty till you put liquid in it. The container will NOT screw on tight and falls off as soon as you try to hang it! Great for watering your tree with sugar water!

Very nice. Easy to clean and fill

Easy to assemble. However, the directions say the parts are "brown" instead of "red."

My only fault to this feeder is that the base (bowl) part is difficult to screw onto the reservoir part. It doesn't want to tighten up. After doing it over and over, I finally feel somewhat secure to turn it right-side-up, but always hold it over a container in case the base falls off and lets the nectar pour out. Today, when I took it off the hook to clean and refill it, the base did drop off onto the ground, spilling what nectar was still in it! Maybe this is the only one of this style that has this problem. Maybe it's somewhat defective and I should have returned it for exchange. Overall, I'm happy with it as it's the right size and I prefer glass over plastic by far.

Had a lovely vintage hobnail glass feeder which had a plastic feeding base but metal feeding ports and metal top of base. Birds loved it, but after 3 years it became so rusty, the nectar would get tainted from the rust, and birds wouldn't drink. I looked for replacement with an all-plastic base and glass bottle. Found this. A bit "brighter" than my previous vintage one, but is attracive, and is the right colors for the birds. So I bought it, cleaned it before use, hung it up with homemade nectar, and within an hour, the hummingbirds were all over it! A week later and still popular. Excellent quality, easy to clean, nectar level is obvious at a glance, and the moat and guards are a definite plus, too! Very happy with this feeder! You will be too.
