Great, sturdy hummingbird feeder!, August 31, 2008
This review is from: Garden Jewels 476-3 Twenty Ounce Glass Hummingbird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
I had been looking for a sturdy hummingbird feeder that didn't look too cheap or tacky for a while when I finally found this one at Walmart for $10. It was the last one that they had, and I wish that I could find it again for the same price or even slightly more (I'm unwilling at this point to pay double the price plus shipping), as I've decided to get several more feeders. Despite the fact that the base is plastic, this feeder is solidly made. The glass bottle is an elegant hourglass shape, the plastic flowers for the feeding ports are a little more intricate than most, and the perch design is clever as well as functional. Most importantly, since hanging the hummingbird feeder, we have attracted not only our resident hummingbird, a Ruby-Throated male that I've jokingly nick-named "Rambo" for his aggressive defense of the feeder, but we've also drawn in several others (hence the need for additional feeders).

Glass cracked bottom fell out 2 hours after installed, May 5, 2009
This review is from: Garden Jewels 476-3 Twenty Ounce Glass Hummingbird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
I just purchased online, from Amazon, box intact. I filled half way with hummingbird nectar, and hung in my bag yard. Less than 2 hours later I found that the glass completely cracked at the just below the fill hole and the entire fill spout cracked off. Nothing more to do but to toss in the trash, unrepairable. Unbelievable. N0 I did not over tighten.
I am not sure it is worth my time to call them for replacement.
But I thought I would write the review.

Update March 2009 - Change to 4 stars, November 1, 2008
This review is from: Garden Jewels 476-3 Twenty Ounce Glass Hummingbird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
UPDATE March 2009: Put out feeder today -- realized when putting pieces back together, the 2 bottom sections have to be aligned just right for the perches to match up with the flower ports --- to do this, I could not tighten the bases completely. I actually had to tighten and then un-screw a bit for everything to match up. Now, I am concerned about possible leakage. I will have to monitor for this...if leakage is a problem, this feeder will be a definite problem. We'll see...
I have several years of experience feeding hummers, and this is my new favorite feeder...very sturdy, good capacity -- don't have to refill too often, thick glass, excellent feeding ports and adjustable perches. But the reason I will keep buying it and buy it for gifts is: it is the easist to clean that I have ever had!!! :) This is so important to keeping the hummers safe and healthy, and to keep them returning to your feeders. The entire base comes apart and there are no nooks/crannies to maneuver around -- only flat surfaces. Opus also makes a great window hummingbird feeder which Amazon sells. Invest in a brush set to clean, especially the really small brush to get into the drinking ports, and you will be set to enjoy hummingbirds all season! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this feeder!!
