Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This feeder came today, and for the most part it is what I expected. It is relatively small (a plus IMO) and though you could fill it with abt. 1 C of nectar, 1/2 C would be enough for hummingbirds to get plenty, and there would be less waste. The feeder and the flowers are entirely glass and should be very easy to clean with a flexible brush. The flowers are separate pieces and lift out for better cleaning access as well. Also the color is intrinsic to the glass and not a coating that would flake or peel with time, another plus IMO. On the negative side, there are no perches, nor are there any gaskets between the flowers and the pot which could make leakage a problem. There is not much in the way of ant deterrence, but there are other ways to deal with that issue if it comes up, so I don't regard that as a big negative YMMV. Lastly, the color of flowers is a nice deep red, just the color one would hope for, but the body of the pot is definitely on the orange end of the spectrum. Being that this is a handmade item I suspect there is natural variation in the color of the glass, which I guess is ok I was just hoping for something a bit darker. In fact if there is going to be variation, it might be nice to see some of these with splashes of color. I'd love a clear glass version with splashes of red for example, or the ability to buy replacement flowers. I suppose it is possible that the orange coloring of the glass could provide an oriole attractant (though you'd want to have another feeder nearby that they could actually eat out of!), in fact, perhaps they could make a model just for that!
I have not yet tested this yet to see if hummingbirds will indeed come to it, it is a little early yet for them to be in my area and at the end of the day that will be the real test. I'll try to remember to update that point in the comments when the time comes.
This review is for the flame red model of the Parasol Pot de Creme Hummingbird feeder.
