I love the JB hummingbird feeders so much that I order one for my mother. The hummingbirds like the little perch. The glass bottle screws off and the bottom comes apart for easy cleaning. Mine go in the top shelf of the dishwasher. Another thing I like about the JB feeder is you can pour your sugar and warm water right in the bottle, then mix or swish around. How easy is that! Ruby throated hummingbirds started visiting almost immediately.
Update: the JB hummingbird feeders are a hit with the hummingbirds and me. I got an email from the company this morning with a discount coupon. This is the first one I've received from them so I think they are never on sale. I order 2 more this morning...1 for my sister and an extra for me :-D They also dropped down on their shipping cost during this time too. 15% off of any order of $19 or more from www.drjbs.com This offer is only good from 5/25/2008 through 6/01/2008. To get this discount, type the following word into the box labeled "coupon code" during the checkout process on our website. memorial Type this word (memorial) just as it is, all lower-case letters.
I'm glad this post came up :-D I never gave much thought to humming bird feeders but you all have made some good points. My next one will be glass! Yesterday we had a horrible hail storm and it actually busted my feeder!! I'm sure sitting in the sun weakens them and the marble sized ice balls didn't help either! Deanna :-D
