Nature's Rhythm Bird Feeder 4 bee Guard Plastic Feeding Port 8oz Glass Pinch Waist Hummingbird Feeder,1pcs

These hummingbird feeders are excellent. Their superior design makes them easy to clean and, yet, they do not leak, as other-wide-mouth designs are prone to do. When my 30-year old Perky Pet feeders started to show their age, I searched for replacements. Perky Pet had discontinued my old model, so I purchased two of their “new and improved” models. They were awful—they leaked like crazy. I experimented with other brands, and returned all but these Nature's Rhythm Hummingbird Feeders. They are easy to sanitize, and they don't leak, even in stiff breezes. I don't know if they will last thirty years, but they are solidly built. As an added bonus, the company has great customer service. After six weeks of trouble-free use, a manufacturing flaw in the glass of one of the feeders rendered it unusable. I notified the company, and a representative responded the next day to inform me that a replacement feeder was on the way. Two days later, it arrived on my porch. Very impressive! These feeders are keeping my local hummers happy, and the company's customer service is stellar.

Sturdy, keeps out bees, just what I needed. Well made and does not leak my homemade hummingbird nectar. (Water:sugar, 3 or 4 to 1, boil, cool).

I was not happy with the product, I tried many different locations, but the bees continued to swarm and literally take over the feeder. The bees would push their heads in the small holes and get stuck. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They were able to get the hummingbird liquid. I also found that on several attempts, I secured the bottom and it still leaked out, I was very disappointed. The hummingbird food dripped all over, which then caused more insects to be drawn to the puddles it left behind. I filled it up again, set it on my counter in the kitchen and literally watched it leak out. I decided to recycle the entire thing instead of returning it. I do hope others have better luck with this product than I did. It did not keep the bees away, it did the opposite.

I find clear glass feeders with homemade sugar water are absolute best. Hummers love it & several other small birds. Plastic allows hummers to sit between sips-metal gets way to hot for them. Easy to fill & clean. They love it.

feeders shipped fast and worked well for a while. Now the seam where the two pieces of the bottom are put together leaks. This model doesn't allow you to clean inside the base so I am not sure why the seam would leak. will prob just seal the outside and use them until it's not worth it anymore. Our birds seemed to enjoy the feeders though. pretty bummed they only lasted 7 months or so

I mistakenly thought this hummingbird feeder looked identical to one that I have had for years, which my hummingbirds love. However, it turns out there are 2 very distinct differences that I didn’t notice before purchasing it. One of those differences was a definite game changer—the center hole in the yellow feeder ports are blocked on all the yellow ports, so my hummies couldn’t access the food. It seems they prefer to access through the port’s center hole. We watched repeatedly as hummies landed to feed, but abandoned the effort and finally not even trying again at this new feeder, while they congregated at the new location where we had hung the original feeder. My husband was able to drill the center hole open with a tiny drill bit (afterward, he thoroughly washed the yellow feeder ports). Slowly, after a few days, a few hummies are coming again to feed from this new one with the newly drilled out center hole, and now they’re staying until they get their fill, but hummie traffic is slow to increase at this new feeder. The other, seemingly less significant difference is that the yellow center port is flat in this one, not rounded like a large marble in my original hummie feeder.

This changed my care of hummingbird feeders. I take turns hanging/cleaning them. Makes feeder-washing day so much easier. No rush. The hummers spend a lot of time on them---more than on a similar feeder I replaced with these. The ant moat is new to me and really helpful but requires frequent filling on hot days (all summer). I note it's a little challenging to screw on the top; I hope they can tweak that part of the design.

This really keeps the bees away - they can't reach the nectar. My hummingbirds were a little leary of it at first, but now they drink from it with ease. The base was a bit hard to get off to wash until I realized it does not screw off, it pops off and you pop in back on. I will definitely order more if the bees continue to be a problem next spring. I suggest using these from the start so your hummers won't have to change feeders. They can be suspicious of change and won't use them.
