Perky-Pet 203CPBN-2 Glass Hummingbird Feeders for Outdoors with Perches, Ant Moat, Bee Guards - Pack of 2

Do yourself a favor and get this brand ; by pass the cheaper plastic containers. The glass resevoir holds 1 cup and the plastic feeding parts remove easily for good cleaning which is so important for hummingbird health and to keep those little guys coming back! I soak my resevoir and parts in about a 20% clorox solution, rinse well and air dry. I keep an extra feeder clean for swapping out fresh food about every 4-5 days, more freq when very hot, so having this two pack was a perfect value. Good quality and excellent value I mean how can you beat the entertainment factor of hummingbirds?!!

I have been buying this same feeder for many years. I have tried so many others, but always come back to this one. First of all, it’s glass - can’t use plastic which harbors bacteria. Level of food is easy to see because it’s clear. Feeding ports have bee guards, there are perches so the hummers can feed and perch, very easy to clean. In my opinion, it’s simple and it’s the best.

These feeders are still a favorite with our hummingbirds. The old original had a small opening at the top of the jar, so it was difficult to clean. This newer design is great. A bottle brush fits perfectly for cleaning. Our hummers thank you.

I bought 2 feeders. I really liked the clear glass jar, and the bee gaurds (which came already in the flowers), and the built in ant moat in the top section. The problem with the ant moat though is the little bit of water it holds leaks out quickly, due to the design of the top section. So, I just stopped filling that up.There is a small S hook that comes with the feeder too. You might not really need that though. I attached some spare wire, I had leftover from another project, to the S hook, and then the S hook to the lid's built in hook, and hung them up. Really easy.I removed the packet of included nectar and threw it away. You can use it if you want, but personally, I don't like the ingredients in it. I just use sugar water in a ratio of 1 part PLAIN WHITE SUGAR to 4 parts water. I boiled the water in a steel pot, added the sugar, continued to boil it for 2 minutes until the sugar was completely dissolved. Let that cool to room temperature, before you fill up the jar(s)! I actually made enough nectar for two weeks and stored the remainder in the fridge, in an air-tight jug.Once you fill the feeder jar, you screw on the flower section snuggly, but not too snug since you don't want to crack the plastic, and flip it over. It's suppose to create a vacuum seal to prevent dripping, but that didn't happen for me. I think these need a rubber o-ring to help them seal correctly. I don't know why, but they drip all day long.The clear glass jar makes it easy to tell if there's mold growing inside, but since I have been changing the sugar water every 3 days (filing them up daily), and washing the feeder parts every 6th day, I've seen no mold growth. If you see the nectar looking cloudy, dump the nectar out in a sink, wash the jar and bottom section in hot soap water (ONLY use regular dish soap), rinse all parts several times before refilling! It got pretty hot here one day this past week (91F in Boulder, CO), so I changed the sugar water the the night, just to be sure it was fresh, even though I had just washed and filled mine the day before. My feeders hang from my front porch, which faces west, but are shaded most of the day by either the porch or the big tree in my yard. Also, it's been unseasonably cool here so far this spring. I love that and so do the birds.I really wanted to like these feeders, but both of mine have been drip, drip, dripping on my front porch deck and railing. Every day, I have to go out and wash off the nectar from the railing and the deck. I don't want the wasps and ants to make a habit of finding these nectar puddles. I wouldn't mind the bees doing this, but I have far more wasps around my house than bees - the bees prefer the plants for feeding on. So, I started putting pans on the railing under the feeders to catch the drippings. That worked fine, until the wind blew the pans off the railing. So, I had to take down the feeders. Sorry little hummingbirds!To stop the dripping, I followed the advice another person gave about making sure the bee guards were turned so the hinge of these are at the top, inside each flower, but that didn't stop the leaking. I looked carefully and saw mine were leaking from the stems and the flowers; so, I bought some silicone caulk to seal up the drips from the stems, during it only non one feeder, to see if that would help. Sure enough, the leaking stopped from the stems, but the flowers were still leaking. I was loosing at least 1/8 of the nectar daily from the feeder, due to the dripping. I was afraid the silicone caulk would not allow me to remove the flowers from the stems, but today I checked that, and it seems the caulk was a failure after all. It didn't seal the flowers to the stem. Maybe I didn't apply it correctly. Will try it again, this time coating more of the flower stem to the other stem they slid onto.6/2/15 UPDATE:I've contacted both customer service departments for the seller, and the manufacturer, to discuss the problems with my feeders. I first spoke to the manufacturer who said if the feeders are leaking than the they didn't create a proper seal. I was to check and make sure I had screwed the bottom sections (the part with the stems and flowers) on tightly, but not to the point of cracking it. They also suggested trying it with just water first, so as not to waste the nectar. I said I don't use the nectar that was included, since it has unnecessary ingredients that I don't want to give the birds. I don't believe those are safe ingredients. So, I did the water test and they are leaking still. Then they asked me to contact the seller for replacement feeders.The seller said the manufacturer is the one that has to replace them. What a run around! I called the manufacturer back and they said to emailed them a copy of my receipt from Amazon, as proof of purchase. I'm still waiting for the replacements. Will update again after trying the new ones out, but I've my doubts the new ones will be any better.

Fast shippy. Pretty and heavy duty. Unfortunately I thought the top came off which it does but it's just glass underneath so you cannot fill from the top meaning you have to flip it over once filled which was what I was trying to avoid.

This is the same reliable hummingbird feeder I've been buying for years. I just had to retire the first one I bought over 15 years ago. The style was slightly different back then. The new design seems like it will last even longer. My oldest feeder of the new design is only around 3 or 4 years old but looks almost new still.

I love these! They are super easy to put together and take apart. It holds 1 cup of sugar water. Under the lid is a hook to hang it with. I bent one side of it once I put it on so wind and blowing around doesn't make it fall off.

Just unpacked the feeders, glass is sturdy, "feeder" part seems fine (and those ARE the most important parts, of course). HOWEVER, I didn't pay enough attention to the built-in "ant moat" on the top (and this is important to me since ants around here really love the nectar and seem to drain the feeder faster than the hummers). I cannot figure out why the "moat" has those "dents" (visible in the picture on the listing--there are three of them). This totally ruins the idea that the top will function as much of an "ant moat." The top edge of the top is 3/4" tall, but with the "dents," it will only hold about 1/4" of water! In my area, that would evaporate in a day. Why?????? Why the "dents???"I think the price is great, the feeder part is fine, but the claim that it's much of an ant moat is bogus. Will have to use a separate ant moat above the built-in ant moat.
