Perky-Pet Pinch Waist Red Glass Hummingbird Feeder - Humming bird Feeder for Outdoors - 203CPBR - 8 oz Capacity

So I ordered this feeder in spite of previous reviews about leaking. Initially it worked great, but sure enough, when the sun heated it up it started dripping. At first some Teflon tape around the threads did the job. But after continued use it started a slow drip again. So I went to the o-ring at the base of the threads fix and that is working so far. It’s a shame that this version leaks because I really like the improvements that the company made over the old version (wide mouth opening, red glass, ant trap). It really is a very sturdy feeder and the hummingbirds are very attracted to it. They now just need to make the seal a little more air tight to stop the leaking issue. Update - ok so all of my efforts to stop this feeder from leaking have proven fruitless. It continues to drip all over our side walk, attracting ants. The company needs to listen to its product reviews and fix this issue. Rating reduced from 3 stars to 1. Update 2 - called Perky-Pet customer service and they were very helpful and understanding. I spoke with Megan who provided me with an email address to obtain a replacement feeder. You need to provide a screen shot of your Amazon receipt, your issue with the feeder, your shipping address and phone number. I got a response within 24 hours stating that my new feeder is on its way and will arrive in 3-5 business days. The email is [email protected]. Their customer service is top notch. I’ll update my review again when I get my replacement feeder. UPDATE 3 - perky Pet sent me a few replacement that I received within 5 days. The new works great! Definitely a design change. No leaking. Seals tight and has all the same new and improved features. C Great customer service. Thank you Megan. 5 Stars.

This is a nice medium sized feeder that only needs to be filled every other day. It's easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. It's easy to fill as it sits on the counter. Great value!

We have nesting hummingbirds about 150 yards from our porch, where we have two of these RED (really red!) feeders. Our Sit-and-Sips see a lot of traffic during the day, particularly when the younglings have hatched. These feeders are easy to fill and attract many hummers during the day. Unfortunately, the feeders must hang in direct afternoon sun, so the nectar can spoil easily. The bright red and yellow feeding ports can prove difficult to clean, even with hot, soapy water, and they can have a tendency to leak nectar. But overall, they bring joy to our days and laughter to our table.

Many people post about being careful with hummingbird feeders because of the nectar and its propensity to grow mold. This and improper cleaning methods to remove the mold can kill the birds. Because of this, I try to keep the feeder as clean as possible. I have had at least 3 types of feeders. This is by far the worst. The photo shows the feeder after 45 minutes of cleaning. The jar and the perch are easy. The red “flowers” need some work as they get crusted with mold. The yellow “baskets” are the hardest and cannot be adequately cleaned. I use a scrubby and a tooth brush to get the mold off and it is still not clean. The plastic hanger on top of the glass jar is badly faded. Not a deal breaker but it bothers me. I will go back to the previous type without the baskets. Although it also needs cleaning, I can use a toothpick and swabs to clean in 10 minutes. More time to watch these amazing birds.

The good news is this feeder has red glass, which helps attract hummingbirds. Also, the small size encourages frequent cleaning, Which is critical to hummingbird health. The downside is the feeder is small, so you might be filling it every day during the busy season. I have two of these feeders, and a larger feeder, which helps keep food always available. The wide mouth on the glass makes the glass easy to clean, but the old school feeding stations are not as easy to clean. Not a dealbreaker, you should just be prepared with a pipe cleaner. Also, will leak if you place on a surface, which attracts ants, so I would only recommend this feeder if you’re hanging the feeder.

Very nice hummingbird feeder. Birds like it!

I read a number of reviews on this feeder before purchasing it. Several reviews said it leaked; several said it didn't, or that the amount of liquid in the feeder is what caused the leaks. I decided to believe those who said no leaking, as I figured they were right that overfilling is what caused the leaks. Wrong. For the first couple of weeks, no leaking. The feeder worked great, then I noticed it leaking, actually saw liquid running down the feeder to the ground. I had been very careful not to overfill, as I was already convinced that was the issue. But the leaking continued, to the point that no liquid remained in the feeder within a few hours of refilling, and hummingbirds quit coming around. In addition, it's awkward to fill; the water runs out when it's turned right side up after filling. I'm disappointed, and apologize to those whom I originally thought were doing everything wrong. If this is one of the "best" feeders, then I feel kind of hopeless about finding one that works well and attracts hummingbirds on a continuous basis.

I have several types of birdfeeders and find these the best. You can put water in the top so ants cannot crawl in. Holds just enough water so the hummingbirds can drink it all before it spoils. Very simple design and easy to clean. I did have one that I bought from a store. It was identical to these except the glass was not red. The loop that you hang it by is plastic. The plastic part broke and I was not able to fix it. I did not use the metal hook that comes with it so that may be why the plastic broke. I had used a wire. I have not had any issues with the ones I ordered from Amazon. But I have not had them very long. I will buy them again .

Excelente produto

Está bonito el bebedero, peroel líquido se derrama y el protector "anti abejas" no sirve... Creo que hay más abejas...

I liked bee/wasp proof and no ants as moat on top. I wish It was larger as only holds one cup of solution, so filled Daily

Although only hummingbirds can reach into the actual feeder I have watched other birds trying to drink as well. The feeder is sturdy and very easy to clean.

Bebedouro atrai muitos beija-flores e além de alimentá-los eles são muito agradáveis. Gostei muito,Indico.
