 It really is the BEST 1 for feeding hummingbirds! April 9, 2006

Feeding hummingbirds in Southern California means boiling a quart of sugar water every night to keep the feeders full. These feeders are great for the birds, since they allow the birds to perch and rest while feeding. I have had all 8 ports occupied.
It is important to keep the feeders clean, so the hummingbirds do not become ill from bacteria build up. These are the best feeders for easy cleaning.
Also, if a piece accidentally gets broken, replacement parts are easy to order.
Enjoy watching these wonderful birds.
 Not the best one - only with modifications May 1, 2007

My husband bought me 2 of these feeders for my birthday. They worked ok. the Hummingbirds used them, but not as much as my others. Mine faded the first season and the words on the outside washed of first thing, which could be a good thing.I was looking through a hummingbird web site and found that these feeders are death traps for the little guys and they had a picture of one of its victims. They said if you modify them, they are usable. To modify, First, from the bottom side of the feeder lid, re-drill each port hole outward at a 45 degree angle. Next, cut or grind the nipple from the underside. If you don't have a grinder, simply used a razor blade to cut down through the nipple at a 45 degree angle. To me it's not worth the risk to my little friends and I shouldn't have to mess around with modifying something before I use it. I do see that there is a hand painted one sold on Amazon that has the modifications made by the company. You can tell the safe feeder because there's 2 perch rings around the outside of the feeder.
My personal favorite hummer feeder September 19, 2006

Despite the fact that the Gila Woodpeckers can get at the nectar and are fairly piggish about it, the jar holds a quart, so there's enough to share some. This is a sturdy feeder that's easy to clean & disinfect. There's been a recent influx of migratory fruit bats here, and they can drain even one of these dry in a night, but I like the bats' being here so I'll feed them gladly, too. The only problem I've had is gnats or fruit flies cramming themselves into the bottom by the thousands, but it seems to be highly seasonal and I imagine they could get into any feeder- but they do require some extra attention during those times.
Hummers Were Skeptical August 31, 2006

Purchased this item for larger fluid capacity. Difference in feeding opening design gave me some initial concerns and our huge flock of hummers gave it the cold shoulder at first; preferring their standard fake floral feeder opening feeders. Once one of the smarter or braver souls discovered that the nectar was there also, it became a winner. The greater number of feeding openings can create quite a gathering of multiple hummers eating at one time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have been using one of these feeders for last 10 years. As of today all my feeders are now Best-1. In Michigan the hummers are only around for 4 months. During this short time the birds needs plenty of clean food. These feeders are easy to disinfect in the spring and keep clean all summer. The sloped IV bottles make them easy to clean with a bottle brush. The base comes apart to rinse out the late season mold and sweat bees. Easy to store, easy to clean and feed, easy to kick back and watch the hummers.
