I am curious to see which is most popular. I had a very junky one that was very difficult to clean so I'm not surprised I wasn't getting more reception. This is the one: http://www.perkypet.com/store/product.a ... KEA8S3A417 I used to have this cheapo Perky Pet one that they seemed to really like. It didn't hold up well in the sun and the plastic cracked. I haven't seen one just like it anywhere, even on the site, but it cost about $5. Now I have this one, but without the perches. http://www.perkypet.com/store/product.a ... KEA8S3A417 And I just got this one, that seems easier to clean..it has an ant moat which is very nice... http://www.hummzinger.com/excel.htm and I got this one...which is really cool because you get to choose the colors of the "flowers"..it has a nice wide mouth and you can mix the nectar right inside. Anyone have any favorites?
As you know I don't get hummingbirds here in Scotland but if I did I think I'd prefer the Perky-Pet Pinch-Waist Glass Feeder as it more closely resembles the types of flowers hummingbirds feed from.
That was what I was thinking.... :-? You may not have hummers...but Scotland is beautiful! I dream of going there someday! I think the climate would suit me well! :-D
If you ever decide to visit Anna let me know. We could meet up somewhere and have a good old 'chin wag.' :-D
Which hummingbird feeder did you end up purchasing? I'm glad I found thread because I want to replace the feeders I currently have. They are too hard to clean. I'm going to try the hummzinger. It looks like it is easy to clean and fill.
That Aspects~Humzinger is a very good feeder. They make high quality products. Homestead has one that I have and like which is similar to the Zinger; Homestead feeder The dish type are very easy to clean. I also like the perky pet basket/planter feeder. basket feeder Poke it right in a hanging planter. Also easy to clean. Bird brain and parasol have some gorgeous feeders but if you live in a wildlife area like me it makes you worry about them getting knocked down and broken. I'm glad you started this thread too! I own a wild bird feeding/watching shop and its nice to know what people like.
Thanks Wrennie. I love the Homestead feeder. It looks easy to clean. Is the Gold Crest website just for store owners. I signed up and I got an email stating that the registration must be approved. Thanks!
I don't put out hummingbird feeders, but I do put out suet blocks for any birds that hang around in the winter. Some of those birds include woodpeckers and some other small birds and doves. If I were to get any of these feeders, I sure like Dr. JB's the best because it looks as if it cleans up good. I also like the pretty flowers to pick from.
Ditto... I would choose Dr. JB's. I like the option of designing my own feeder (color wise). I don't have a feeder, because the feeders I have seen in stores look like they would all be so difficult to clean. In the past, ants were a problem, as well as attracting wasps!
I didn't give the jb's a second look because I thought the bottle was plastic. My other feeder is plastic. I tried putting it on the top shelf of my dishwasher. That was a mistake. It melted part of it. I took a second look after you two said jb's would be your choice. I'm glad I did. It's glass!! I read the reviews and I think I found my new hummingbird feeders. Thanks!!
My hummingbird feeder is a glass one, and its on a metal stick, the kind that you can stick in the garden. The glass part looks like a flower.
Thanks everyone. I ended up ordering 2 of the JB hummingbird feeder. I received them about a week ago. They are easy to take apart and look well made. I don't think I'll have a problem cleaning them. I might hang one out now to see if I have any hanging about this season :-D
Let us know how they turn out! My husband wants us to put up a hummingbird feeder this year, and aside from 'easy to wash' I don't have any other ideas on what features to look for.
