This thing is so nasty.I bought it because it was pretty, but I have been very, very disappointed once I started using it. The syrup in the bottom turns to a nasty, thick goo within just a couple of days,and if the wind blows the sugar water dribbles out all over my deck.I've found the same problem with any of the hummingbird feeders that use the tray method: where the syrup comes down from an upside-down bottle into a trough with little fake flowers over it. Very nasty, and the birds don't like it much.
She absolutely loved this one. I bought this for my mom's birthday. She wanted a hummingbird feeder and I wanted to find one better than the plastic ones in the stores. The painting is great, and the metal flowers are charming. She hasn't put it up yet, but so far we're totally happy.
I like this feeder because when you remove the base to fill it, the base splits into 2 pieces for easy cleaning. This is a very nice looking feeder that is the right size to allow the hummers to consume most of the necter before it goes bad. Nice hand painted flowers give an ordinary glass feeder a bit more decorative look.
I have two feeders, the other isn't used by the birds. I'm glad I got it. The parts that look brass are actually plastic, but they are threaded and well made.
This one they use everyday. It's really pretty, much more so than I expected. I saw them go to it when I first put it out, but I think the water was too hot and they never went back.
Everything fits together nicely, It hangs straight and secure. I sit out in the morning with my coffee and watch the birds and the squirrels. I love it.This feeder was easy to put together and fill.
I'm going to get the other shape by the same manufacturer because I enjoy this one so much. It is worth the money.
gave this as a gift - the hummers seem to like to ugly one better than this
