5.0 out of 5 stars Fall in love with watching those cute little guys all over again!, June 23, 2007

Remember that last hummingbird feeder you owned that dripped constantly, attracted bumblebees and ants and required a little bottle brush to clean? You probably gave up in sheer frustration after a few months. Well those days are long gone - the first time you fill up your Hummzinger, you will be in love with hummingbird-watching all over again.

I've owned mine for four years. I love it because it's never attracted any insects, never dripped, and cleans up easily with a sponge. The local hummers love it because they can perch and rest while they feed. I hung it from a cup hook on the eaves near the back patio door and watch them year round. It stays steady and dripless even in high winds.

Whoever designed this thing has not only a lot of common sense but a good eye for aestetics. The plainer version (mine) looks like a flying saucer, which suits me, but for Mother's Day I got my mom this fancier one, which looks as if it could stack up against the pricier glass art feeders. The Hummzinger, however, wouldn't shatter if it fell on the patio.

A few tips if you are planning on purchasing this:
1. Don't bother with the replaceable insect guards that you can buy to insert into the feeding holes. They don't do anything as far as I'm able to tell, but they are a pain and an expense.
2. Pass on the commercial nectar mixes and make your own by mixing one part sugar to four parts water (this recipe is permanently printed inside the feeder's top!). No dyes. No need to boil. I realize that boiling the mixture is traditional advice, but it's based on the mistaken notion that by sterilizing it you will keep bacteria and molds from spoiling it in the feeder. Turns out that the first time a hummingbird dips his beak into the mix, he introduces all that stuff instantly anyway. If, like me, you would be discouraged from changing it as often as you should because boiling and cooling it becomes a chore, this will free you up to be a better caretaker of your little friends. Oh, and they don't need humans to add vitamin supplementation to their nectar because they get all that from the insects they eat.
3. Hang it where you can observe it easily from your home. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Feeder, August 14, 2007

By	Taletha Robinson (Lenoir, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This has been a great feeder -- hummers found it almost immediately. It is the easiest feeder to clean --- MUCH better than the jar/bottle type which were impossible to clean on the inside. The "fancy" aspect is also great -- it's almost like an ornament hanging on the porch. The only trouble that I've had was figuring out how to lift the red top portion to empty and clean it. After a few tries I discovered it to be simple if I lift up on the inner rim while at the same time lifting on the outter edge. Brilliant product for hummer-lovers :)
