Perky Pet Woodstream 203cpbn 8 Ounce Glass Pinch Waist Hummingbird Feeder

the birds missed this device completely. they are more happy sitting on the real flowers and drinking natural nectar than this device. so recommendation is that if u can get real flowers compared to this device, do that, as natural flowers, of course, is more effective.

Works brilliantly in India too for sunbirds especially

Hummingbirds love it. They can perch easily. I like how easy it is to clean and that it takes 1 cup of sugar water.Only negative is losing some liquid after filling it up and have to flip it over to hang it.

Same problem on two. The red plastic top fell off when I placed the feeder into the dishpan to wash. The threads are faulty on the plastic screw-on top. I tried a top from an old Perky-Pet feeder I had & it works perfectly. If you tried to tighten the top, it pops off. I have used this brand and the similar style for years. My old feeders work well. These two are defective.UPDATE: Changed rating from 1 Star to 5 Star.The Manufacture stands by their warranty. Replacement is being sent.Note: When the weather gets warm the feeder food gets warm & causes it to leak. This is the nature of the thing. Even still, these are a VERY GOOD CHOICE for a hummingbird feeder. I have used these for years. My hummers love them.

This item comes with only 2 of the yellow inserts, yet there are 4 feeding stations. I thought it was an incomplete item, so I ordered a new one and returned the other. The product again arrived with only 2 yellow inserts. After a number of days, I'm still trying to get a response from the seller about this. Disappointed.

UPDATED: I feel the need to update this rating I gave & the why. Sadly I was wrong on this particular feeder. The first few months I noticed the plastic flowers were already fading & that never happened before & it hangs in the same place my old one did. This puzzled me as its brand new & shows the plastic they now are using to be of poor quality. My other feeder did not do this in 10 years, so yeah. The company should go back to the plastic they were using when feeders actually lasted longer than 1 summer. Needless to say for this feeder review I would not give it a 5 stars but a 2. The second summer I put it out the flowers were all cracking & breaking apart & the ant moat part that it hangs from cracked also & made the feeder useless. So had to buy a new feeder.Not happy about that & neither are the Hummingbirds.This feeder is a replacement for the one I had for over 10 years or more from the same manufacturer, giving you an idea how long they can last if cleaned gently & not handled roughly. There are a few changes to this feeder since, one I really like is the wide mouth opening on the bottle for adding the food, makes cleaning the interior glass so much easier than the older model. The ant moat is not so great, although ideal for keeping ants off your feeder it should be made deeper. The hole for the hanging hook is so large & low in that same area when you fill the ant moat the water it goes into that hole so very little water is being held in the moat & in summer that will evaporate in no time. You will be filling that a lot when temps are very warm. I will be using my old ant moat & attached to this new feeder because its water holding capacity is larger & I won't be filling it often. The feeder itself is great! I received a defective feeder on my first order, it had glass fractures & lots of marks on the glass itself & had nothing to do with shipping. The product was very well packaged. Once I reported this issue to Amazon I was instantly shipped a new one & received it quickly & intact with no damage or flaws. (I did return the defective one, otherwise you will be billed for both feeders if you don't.) So between the product & the shipping I am very pleased.

I have a flock of about 30 hummingbirds who make the trees in my front yard their home all summer. It started out with only a few but through some testing I quickly discovered their favorite food, pure Organic cane sugar water mixed 1 to 3 (I fill the jar 1/3 way with the sugar & then add boiling water to fill the jar & mix, the result is a beautiful honey brown nectar ...cool to room temp then fill the feeders) . Once that was deduced I never let my two feeders run out, then I began having to fill them twice a day and noticed more hummingbirds so I purchased 2 more. The same scenario happened over and over again until I had about 12 feeders, all of which have to be refilled daily. It is quite a chore, but so worth the effort! I can sit on my porch swing and watch every evening as the multicolored flock goes crazy for their dinner feeding before retiring high up in the trees for the night, it's unlike anything I've ever experienced and my guests are often astounded at the entire event and make a point of coming to watch at dusk whenever they get a chance. My neighbor however is less pleased, she puts out one or two feeders of that red nectar mix stuff and they hardly ever venture over to her yard.Anyway, through all of my testing & experience with the flock over the past few years I have found that these feeders are by far the favorite. I have tried to get them interested in the prettier more expensive feeders that look lovely on my porch, the colored glass, the sculpted metal, the antique bottles, but they always go to these first and only venture to others if these are empty! I ordered a few more of the old version this year & decided to try this new improved version as well & I wish I had only ordered this new version (Perky-Pet 230CPBN)!!! This design is A HUGE improvement! The old ones have a tiny opening in the glass section making cleaning difficult and mold builds up easily inside the glass & in the plastic ring that holds it to the base (which also likes to fall out over time, spilling sugar water everywhere). In this new version the opening for the glass part is large, perfect for cleaning & they have eliminated the troublesome plastic ring! I also really enjoy that the bee guards are rounded now, I hope that helps them stay on better & the built in ant moat is a big plus! I'm very excited to put them all out and welcome my flock home for the summer!PS please don't feed your hummingbirds that red nectar garbage! The dye is not good for them or their young! They really do like Organic cane sugar the best and although it is a bit spendy, here is a trick I have learned....Start out with the Organic stuff to attract as many as your hoping for and after a few weeks & the flock is established you can slowly ease up on the sugar to about a 1 to 4 ratio. You can also slowly switch from Organic to plain white sugar by adding a little of the plain sugar at a time but it isn't as good for them so I like to still leave a little of the Organic sugar in the mix. Hope that helps you attract lots of beautiful birds this season!
