Perky-Pet 8108-1SR Antique Glass Bottle Hummingbird Feeder – Outdoor Garden Décor – 10 Oz

Less bees in the feeder
My 4th hummingbird feeder in an attempt to deter sweat bees! Success! only one bee in the fluid container after several days. Birds love it and they can land on lip and don’t have to fight the bees. Very attractive as well.

Very Nice
UPDATE:I went outside the other day and noticed that the base had fallen off. After investigating, I found that the skew in part was cracked. I returned the item and got a new one. The new one was not cracked and the base screwed on tightly (review below states that it would pop if turned too much), the first one was popping because of the crack. If you get one that is cracked where it screws into (plastic), then it will not hold and the weight of the food will make it fall off and you will feel the popping out. Below is the original review, but the proper one allows for the screw to go in tight and fit perfectly! I would recommend checking it before you hang it outside.I have found in past experience that getting the ones that say “Antique” is the best way to go, they normally have the metal cover that fits tightly on the hard plastic bottom and require creatures with stray like mouths to obtain the food (this prevents bees and wasp from getting at it). I got this item and it looks great in the garden, it has an old look to it that sets if off perfectly in a garden. The metal flowers are well made and are affixed to it very well. The bottle is small, but still looks nice. However, I did have two flaws with it (compared to my larger Antique hummingbird feeder), first the bottle does not screw tightly to the bottom, if you overturn it pops right back out (the other one turned snuggly on it, next the top part that hooks it to a pole is to small, therefore it will not allow me fit it over my Shepherd’s Hooks, instead I had to use a wire tie to hook it to the pole (wire tie does not look as good as the metal hanger). For the price, this is a very nice one, it does require a few tweaks, but for the price I can live with that. I filled it up with hummingbird food, and turned it over (a small little nuisance is that when you flip it over the bottle then looks half empty, not a big problem (because it has to fill the bottom, but it makes me with that I got the Red painted ones; like my other one). I highly recommend these metal bottoms, because they keep the food in, my old plastic feeders would be empty after a day of windy weather, these are heavy enough not to blow too much, but when they do it requires them to near flip over before leaking any food — Just make sure that you screw it on as tight as it goes.In the end this is a nice a little hummingbird feeder, it looks elegant in the garden, and holds the food in better than the small plastic ones. I highly recommend the metal base ones like this one, and only wish that this one had a better screw on base and a bigger hanger on top, however, for the price it is a win!

It replaced the same one I had for the previous 10 years
I had this model for the previous 10 years. It stopped working because when the metal cover rusts it alter the flavor of the sugar water. It looks much better and last longer than the plastic ones and works great.

LOVE this style Hummingbird feeder
After years of having 3 of the little cheap/red Walmart feeders hanging off the side of the porch – I ventured out this year and bought this one – – Hubby said “Bad idea – that glass is too shiny – they’ll be leary of it” – – WRONG BUCK WHEAT!!! They LOVE it – – didn’t make a hill of beans difference to THEM -We’re in our over the hum on mid 70’s but we’re still very active around our home and gardens – – but we love to come together when we each stop – late afternoons and watch all the wildlife feed at our 2 feeders at our front and back porch stands — and we also love to watch the Hummingbirds flitter around the feeders that hang close to our porch swing – – But OH how I love love love these feeders – – I had said that this spring I was making a cozy summer retreat on our back porch – and those old cheap looking red feeders were just not going to fit – – so I found this one and ordered it – – may end up ordering another – we’ll see how they manage with one – – but we LOVE LOVE LOVE this feeder – and they flutter to this glass one just like they did those old red plastic ones – –

Produto de ótimo acabamento, e muito bonito para decoração. Mas pelo visto os beija-flores talvez não tenham gostado tanto quanto eu. Vejo eles em outras flores no jardim, mas nunca na garrafa…

Looks really great but none of the nectar-feeding birds in my Kenyan garden are interested yet, after 2 months. Maybe I need to add more sugar to the red water.
