 Effective design August 8, 2008
This and the larger feeder of the same design are the best I've found. Easy to use and keep clean, the birds sit on the bar and rest, giving us more opportunities to enjoy them. I highly recommend this feeder.

Handy dandy little feeder July 8, 2008
This hummingbird feeder is just right. It's a breeze to put together and very easy to refill...in fact, my eight-year-old is normally the one who keeps it filled. Hummingbirds started checking it out within a day or two of being hung up, and they have become regular visitors. I've had no problem with wasps or ants at all. This feeder also makes a nice gift for that hard-to-shop-for person. I highly recommend the Hummzinger!
Hummingbird Feeder May 27, 2008
I love the product, the first day I hung it out I had a hummingbird come to it to feed. It is easy to fill and clean.
THE BEST Hummingbird Feeder!!!!! January 20, 2008

Author of the Peterson Hummingbird field guide, Sheri Williamson, consulted on the creation of this feeder. And it shows! Everything is thought out so that THIS feeder is THE VERY BEST hummingbird feeder available. Bees are attracted to yellow, so NO yellow on this feeder. Design enables hummingbirds (with their long bills) to feed, but no bees and wasps (which is not the case with feeders that look like upside down dish detergent bottles, where the nectar is right there and easily available to bees & wasps). Correct solution is printed inside the lid, so you can't forget: 1 part sugar and 4 parts water -- NO RED DYE. Yes, that's all you need to put into a hummingbird feeder. The feeder has enough red on it. Red dye isn't good for us, so why should it be good for hummingbirds? Small size is perfect, since solution should be as fresh as flower nectar. Feeders should be washed & cleaned out thoroughly at least once a week, or every few days in hot weather. With a small feeder like this, you're not wasting lots of sugar water when you dump it (and contributing to more loss of natural habitat to sugar cane fields). Of course when hummingbirds are thick during migration (late June through early August in the NE), feeders may be empty every day. The trick to attracting & holding hummingbirds is to have more than 1 feeder, and place them so that one bossy, territorial male can not see all the feeders and defend them all, keeping other hungry hummingbirds away. 1 feeder = 1 bossy male Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the NE. 5 feeders (scattered around the yard and in your hummingbird garden) will more likely attract nesting hummingbirds and lots of migrants.
Feeders alone are not the key. Nectar (or the correct solution in hummingbird feeders) helps maintain a hummingbird's high metabolism, but hummingbirds can not live on nectar or a sugar solution alone! They also feed heavily on insects (spiders and other soft-bodied insects, like aphids). So, be sure to also garden for hummingbirds, and avoid the use of insecticides! And let the aphids be. Nature will take care of them. Ladybugs and hummingbirds will enjoy your aphid smorgasborg.
 Hummzinger Hummingbird Feeder January 2, 2008
The order came through promptly and in good order.
The feeder seems to do the job we intended it to do, i.e., attract hummingbirds and not allow bees to make it their new favorite restaurant!
