Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this feeder based upon one thing; capacity. When I received it and tried to use it, I discovered there are other things more important than just capacity.
1. I was disappointed in the plastic bottle. I expected something thicker that this; it is so thin that the side collapses as the level drops inside.
2. The birds do NOT like the horizontal feeding surface nearly as well as the feeders that have the feeding ports slanted at an angle.
3. The birds do NOT like a feeding port area that is all one color, with no representation of flower blooms on it.
4. This is the MOST important one. This feeder does NOT have a removable hanger on it. There is a molded loop on the top of the plastic jar to hang it by. That makes it impossible to set this jar on a surface to pour nector into it. To make it even worse, they have a large metal hook tightly closed in this loop with the OTHER end open for hooking it into a string to hang the feeder up by. The only way I can fill this feeder is to center the jar on the drain in the sink with the loop and hook sticking down into the drain. It is unstable this way, and frequently slips and tilts during filling.
Avoid this product. By the time I paid for the feeder and shipping, I could have bought almost three of the quart feeders from Wal-Mart, which are GLASS bottles with a hanger that unscrews to allow the jar to sit FLAT while filling it. They have feeding stations that are designed to look like flowers, and the little hummers LOVE them.
