I am a bird enthusiat who was given three of these feeders for my verandah as a gift. They are attractive easy to maintain etc. all the features that befit a good feeder. They work well in attracting the hummers, perhaps too well, for as they frequent the stations, those lovely faux flowers have a tendency to break off. This is due to the constant probing by the birds. What a pity ! This a major defect, the flowers do not glue back for long. As the nectar containers long outlast the stations, I would keep them if replacement feeding stations could be purchased. I am on my third feeder, two flowers remain.

The hummingbirds in my yard, skip over this feeder. I have five feeders, and two of them are this one and the birds don't touch them. The other three I have to fill twice a day, these two never empty. The ants love them, I always have ants inside these feeders. The bottom comes apart for easy cleaning, but it also leaks easily and the plastic bottle discolors quickly.

The feeder is a practical yet affordable durable addition to any backyard. The plastic feeder does not become as hot to the touch as glass in the summer heat. The feeder is easily refilled and easy to clean with a small bottle brush. I already own serveral of these feeders and enjoy hummingbirds from early spring until first frost. It is a good idea to keep at least one feeder in your yard in the fall for any straggling migrating birds after the first frost.

I've had this feeder for about three years and it's the favorite for the birds. I also have the strawberry ones but they seem to like to perch on the supporting ring on this one.

The water where I live is very heavily treated and I did notice that it made a BIG difference when I started using filtered water to mix with the sugar.

The red and yellow coloring at the base of the feeder seems to be enough color to attract the birds. It's easy enough to clean and the plastic has gotten a little darker but not significantly.

For the price and the enjoyment the birds get from this feeder it's well worth the price.

The price is good and the product is simple and functional, an elegant hummingbird feeder to grace your yard.
