Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
There are more than 300 species of hummingbird in the Western Hemisphere, and, with this hummingbird feeder, you're bound to see at least a couple of them at your window. Perky Pet's 8-ounce plastic feeder features a no-drip feeding base with two easy feeding flowers and two perches. Mount the feeder on your window with the included suction cup or hang it with a screw or nail elsewhere. Kids love to watch the birds feeding, which is a great way to teach them about wildlife and migration. The feeder is easy to fill and clean, and comes with a one-year warranty.


Customer Reviews

Too Fragile1
I've got two of these, but will not be getting any more. As indicated in other reviews, the tabs holding the two pieces together break off very easily, making the feeder all but unusable. The other problem is that these feeders leak sugar water at the joint between the two pieces, which means they're constantly covered with bees and wasps, which chase the hummers away.

The hummingbirds like them while they last, but there are better options out there. I'd recommend the Opus model 455 window feeder instead. It doesn't break or leak, and the birds like it a lot.

Do Not Buy1
The clear plastic that holds the clear part to the red bottom to the is way too easy to break. It's a shame because the hummingbirds like to use it -- and it's a great way to watch them. I have bought four of them and no matter how careful I am it breaks sooner or later!

Generally good, but doesn't last very long.3
I found this product to work well, generally: it lasted about a season for me and being able to watch the birds up close was really neat. If you're new to hummers, it's an easy, fairly inexpensive way to get started. However, after using it for a few months the piece that connects the reservoire to the base broke and I ended up having to go buy a new one. I bought 3 of these (the same thing happen with each) before deciding to spend a bit more to avoid that hassle. (And by that point, the hummers had discovered the feeder and were visiting regularly, so I had to replace it quickly!)
