- disappointed
- This was very disappointing because it arrived missing 2 of the little yellow bee guards. They had to know they were missing when it was sent and I thoroughly searched the packing to make sure they hadn't just fallen off and they just weren't there. I will avoid this source in the future.

- Wonderful Entertainment
- This hummingbird feeder is great. We've only had the kind before that did not have a landing place for the birds. They seem to appreciate the availability of landing and drinking, as they are lingering longer at the feeder in any one given trip.

- Happy Hummers!
- This type of hummingbird feeder is a hummingbird choice.My "hummers" love to sit on the included perches at the base of the feeder. This feature is not always included with this style, and I was delighted to find the perched style once again. Since replacing the brand I was forced to use, Our "hummers" have returned in happy numbers. The price was the cheapest I have ever found. My only complaint is that it is too easy to over screw the caps on the bottles, but a slight hand overcomes that problem.I also love the fact that the bottles are glass and easy to clean.

- Excellent Feeder, Excellent Price
- I love this feeder and so do the hummingbirds! Last year I had a different type (plastic bottle and without perches) and only had the occasional hummingbird. This year I bought one of the Perky Pet Pinch Waist feeders and I had a hummingbird in less than 20 minutes, within a week I bought two more to keep up with demand. I like the design of the feeder - the "pinched waist" gives it a little bit of character, and the size is large enough to be practical without being invasive. The three feeders are suspended by plant hooks under the eaves on the deck, which places them very close to the house. I have 10 "regulars" and several "visitors" that feed from dawn to twilight every day. I have to fill the feeders every morning - because they are empty and the little buggers have taken to scolding me when I'm not up early enough for their breakfast! I make half a gallon of nectar (4 parts water to 1 part sugar, brought to a low boil to extend freshness, per the wild bird experts) twice a week - yes that's a full gallon. I thought about getting larger capacity feeders, but this way I can do a hot water rinse of the bottle and reservoir every day and a thorough cleaning weekly. Although ants and hornets are a problem in our area, so far they haven't discovered the hummingbird feeders.
When I have company they are absolutely fascinated by the "show" they get from these cheeky little birds. They bicker (loudly), display, duel and chest bump each other to establish territory (the hummingbirds, not my guests). Some of them will share willingly with others and sit side-by-side at the feeder; some don't want any other hummers - at any of the feeders - while they are feeding. Most will perch, some will not. Most are used to me at the kitchen window and don't seem bothered when I watch them feed less than two feet away. I don't know how long the feeders will last, but for the price and the entertainment value, even if I have to replace them next year, it's been money well spent. - 2008-07-20, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Our Hummers Love this Model!
- We've tried a lot of models; expensive, ornate, etc. Our hummers turned up their beaks at all of them except this model. We've enjoyed many hours watching them land on the perches to feed. The only downfall is the plastic doesn't last and we have to replace the feeder usually yearly. Fortunately they aren't overly expensive.
