The best  

I agree. This is my favorite feeder as well in New England. The ease of filling and later cleaning makes it #1 in my book. Small pipe cleaner is all you need. The only negative is the small ant moat in the center. House finch, chickadees and Goldfinches have discovered the water source and visit throughout the day, inhibiting hummingbird access and too often leaving their droppings. Not a huge issue though.

Loved your videos! Very helpful.

This is one of my favorites also, but have found bees/wasps/yellow jackets tend to love it too, & can crawl in the holes, even though I keep them clean.

I love your morning videos. Your tranquil backyard garden sounds like the perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee. I also had a similar blown glass feeder that was beautiful but difficult to clean. I had to use baking soda and a toothbrush but it was worth the trouble. It finally broke last year and I replaced with the standard red ones from the big box stores which all slowly leaked nectar from the feeding ports no matter what I did. I finally switched to the flying saucer type you featured and they worked perfectly. I will try the nectar defender.

we have bee hives and when we feed them we add lemon juice to make their nectar last and not spoil. I also use lemon juice now in my hummingbird nectar. I use a 1.5 quart pitcher and add 1.5 tsp. of bottled lemon juice to the 1.5 quart pitcher. The feeders do not get moldy when I use it.

Love the reviews of hummingbird feeder. The one you could hot glue over the hole over the glass one to keep rain water out.

The blown glass one is so pretty you can just use it as a decoration somewhere. Even in the house.

😂oh my goodness, I KNEW there'd be a sweet hero who compared! God bless you, ma'am!

My favorite is the same as yours. The main reason why is because I can see all of the hummingbirds so much easier than one with a tall resivour on it. Plus like you say, its so easy to clean.

Up in Ohio, it's May 7th, 2024, and my heart nearly broke when I saw a ruby throat drawn to our empty RED seed feeder. She was disappointed and I felt so bad for her. That's why I'm here.

Love the hummingbird information -

Thank you for your review of feeders. Could you please include link to this feeder? I’m looking to change from glass bottle type feeders because they retain so much heat.

I have the first one you showed and I’m getting huge ants climbing up and getting into the nectar

Thank you good info.

The one you chose I had one similar. It broke at the hanger connector point

USING feeders from last year. all the red and yellow plastic feeders leaked !!! at the connection points which used a lid and base approach. even e6000 failed to seal. so i a going to use thefirst one you displayed. thank you

I’m thinking of doing the s

I bring my feeders in and soak them overnight in a vinegar and water solution. This is a natural disinfectant and I do this once a week.

You can use the beautiful glass feeder as a planter

Do you have issues with the rain ruining the nectar on your favorite feeder?

7:27 that one sucks because the most, when it rocks side to side some will slip underneath the bee guard and that made the bees plus yellow jackets come more

Hello I'm new to your channel and I am a novelist to the hummingbird feeding .So, you've mention feeding the hummingbird once a week and I know it 1/4 sugar and 1/2 water and clean your feed offen so I read but can make enough of the liquid and stored for next feeding or or do you do it fresh every time?Thank you

What is the brand of your 2nd favorite (blown glass) one?

I love the feeder but hummingbirds don't need anything but sugarwater. I live in southeast Tennessee I changed My hummingbird feeders out every other day until it's ubove 80°F and I change them daily. The trick is put the amount they are drinking but no feeder should go more then 3 days without cleaning for any reason, it has nothing to do with the necture but the port openings from things on the hummingbirds beaks

Quibble: On the copper feeder, the rain wasn't coming in through a hole in the top but in via the flowers at the bottom. (I had a very similar model, with the same problem.) The other, purple and yellow one must have done a better job at keeping the rain from going in that way. (This is probably a combo of the overhang and the tilt of the flower ports). The flower ports on the copper feeder aren't protected by any overhang, and the horizontal, cup-shaped flowers catch and funnel the rain water. I can guarantee (yes, really) that the "hole" on top only goes through the copper cap, but not through the glass jar it's fastened to. If there was a hole at the top, you wouldn't have a nectar feeder. This is because of some very simple, very common physics -- if there was such a hole, the nectar would simply pour out of the feeder right away, as soon as you turn the feeder upside up. The glass part couldn't work as a "reservoir" -- it would just be a rather fancy pipe or tube. The tray style feeders are my favorite style, too. (Most of the hummingbirds around here seem to prefer them too.) Cleaning hummingbird feeders _diligently_ doesn't _seem_ like a big task or terribly inconvenient -- but needing to clean them carefully and _regularly_ gets very tiresome, surprisingly quickly.
