I really love this feeder (but more importantly...) I believe the hummingbirds love it ~ they keep coming back to it!

It's easy to monitor the amount of nectar in it through the clear glass bottle. It's easy to clean because it comes completely apart. And it's easy to fill - the top screws off so you can rest the inverted body on a flat surface.

I purchased this feeder in the winter. I thought it was a nice design and a good choice for my collection of feeders. Since putting it out, the hummingbirds just aren't real thrilled with it. I'm refilling the other feeders every other day and this one I have to dump out the water because it has gone stale. I can't put a finger on it, what they don't like about it. I have to shake it lightly to get the air bubbles out of the base. I've noticed that they have to lean over and down to reach the flower. I don't know if this is an uncomfortable position for them or if it has anything to do with why they don't come to this one and fight over the others. I still have hope that it will become one of their favorites, but at this point have my doubts.

This feeder is poorly designed. Air bubbles form in the bottom preventing the nectar from getting to the "flowers". I have to keep tapping the feeder to get rid of the air bubbles.

I'm a newbie when it comes to Hummingbirds. We recently inherited a feeder at work and all the cute little birds with it. I became such a fan I decided to try one out at home.

Not wanting to invest too much right away because I had been told that it could be difficult to attract them this time of year, I bought this feeder on sale. Set up was easy and instead of using a premixed solution I used the same recipe we were using at work, that I was told had been working for 10 years. (1/3 sugar, 2/3 water) I actually sat and watched the feeder for about the first 10 minutes it was up. Not really expecting Hummingbirds that quickly, but who knew?

The next morning I had almost forgotten about the feeder until I looked up from pouring my coffee and saw a bird out there! You would have thought I had won the lottery. Now I don't know if it was the bird feeder, the food, maybe a nearby feeder I wasn't aware of or just plain LUCK, but because they did appear I have to give this feeder 5 stars!

all but one of the nozzles leak...the sugar water that leaks on the deck then attracts ants

The hummingbird feeder is perfect..This one had the little perch by each of the feeding spots which many do not. I think the little guys like to rest their tiny wings. They seem to really enjoy it and it's indeed a joy to watch

This double set, humming bird acquifier and ant feeder is a wonderful addition to any senior citizen's home. Sitting in your air conditioned porch and watching birds of all distinction taste the syrupy flavor that comes out of the spout will make anyone go wild, unless you are blind.
