Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With a lightening-quick metabolism that any calorie-counting human would envy, a hummingbird must be devoted to the job of finding food. This feeder definitely has the birds' best interests at heart. The 10-ounce nectar container is made of rugged, scratch-resistant tempered glass. It's easy to fill and clean, and it features two bee-resistant feeding ports and a built-in mote to fend off ants. Any hummingbird that can't get a decent meal at this feeder just isn't trying hard enough! A hanging hook is included. --Erin Brown

3.0 out of 5 stars Broke it as soon as I got it, August 31, 2001

Maybe it's just me, but as soon as I went to pinch the s-hook hanger provided with the feeder together, the glass eye the feeder is supposed to hang by broke. It would have been better to provide some sort of ring already in through the hole so pinching the s-hook together wouldn't cause the feeder to break.

Well, now it's hanging by a makeshift cord "holder" I created. I gave the product 3 stars because it is easy to fill, easy to clean, and the hummingbirds in my yard had no problems switching from my UV weakened bottle-feeder to this feeder. I deducted one star because my birds seem to like a perch and this feeder doesn't have one, and one star for not providing a hanger already in the glass eye that the feeder hangs from. Hey guys, guess what! Glass is fragile, I'm an idiot, make it idiot-proof!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Feeder for the Hummers, June 16, 2001

This hummingbird feeder is the best I have ever found. It is easy to clean, thus safer for the birds. I also like the glass globe because it can go in the dishwasher to sterilize. I have one that is five years old and recently purchased three more for friends.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice design but poorly attached hanger, October 15, 2003

I have had one of these for four years, and it's a nice feeder, except, as others have noted here, the plastic part you hang it with is just glued on, and it fell off not long after I got the feeder. Luckily the feeder was hanging over soft mulch in the veggie garden and not the rocks by the foundation of the house, so the glass globe did not break. I re-attached the hanger with Plumber's Goop (ranked next to duct tape in importance as a "Handyman's Secret Weapon") and it held OK. The problem seems to be that whatever Opus is using for an adhesive simply does not bond plastic to glass very well. Also, the little hole for inserting the s-hook is pretty small -- I ended up using thin wire instead. Yet another problem is that the glass globe is difficult to clean inside by hand (we don't have a dishwasher) because the hole is too small to admit the average bottle brush. Because of all this futzing around, I'm only giving it three stars, even though the hummingbirds love it and it look pretty when the sun shines through the glass.
