I hate to give a product less than 4 or 5 stars but I never had a single taker with this product. I left it out for more than 3/4 of the summer and the birds wouldn't go near it. The previous summer I put clean pet hair in a wire ball that was designed for feeding lettuce snacks to pet bunny rabbits (check the image gallery for this product). I hung that out and had all kinds of goldfinches and titmouses going after it. It really was a sight to see. Then, as I said, I hung this product up last summer right next to the wire ball of pet hair and the birds were so frightened of the Hummer Helper Cage that they wouldn't even take the pet hair because it was too close to this big scary thing. At first I just figured they were uninterested this year for some silly reason. Until I took down the hummer helper cage. Before the summer was even over I had a female ruby-throated hummingbird showing INTENSE curiosity about my pet hair ball and the goldfinches eventually took it all. It wasn't even the time of year for nesting but they clearly liked it (I have a photo of that, too, in the image gallery). That's when I realized all along that the only problem had been the hummer cage. Next year, I'll only be putting out the ball of clean pet hair. I gave this product 3 stars instead of a lower rating because it's a good concept and seemed well-made, and because birds in other areas may not be frightened of it (after all, they each have their own personality). But for me, I'm probably going to give it to another friend who's a bird lover. She lives a half hour away and the birds near her seem a little less fickle.

Nice product for the hummingbirds. We've already seen some action on ours. Watch the shipping though. It can be expensive
