 Plastic tabs securing reservoir to feeder too flimsy. May 7, 2008
Meabh Fitzpatrick (Florence, Vermont)
My cats loved this feeder (on the inside looking out, of course), and so did visiting hummingbirds. We made our own nectar (red dye may be bad for hummingbirds!), so we could see them through the reservoir. It is relatively easy to clean, and its 8 oz. capacity was perfect for our hummingbird traffic.
The very big downside is that the plastic tabs securing the reservoir to the feeder are too flimsy. I broke two of these feeders in two years. If Perky Pet would improve the design (i.e. how the reservoir connects to the red base/feeder), I'd reconsider buying one. Lost my receipt (didn't buy it from Amazon) so can't get a refund. I did make the one that broke mid-season work a bit longer by taping the reservoir to the base. Electrical tape might be ugly (something else might work better), but it worked fine.
 Plastic tabs hold this together.... August 9, 2008
R. Lewis
Two, small plastic tabs are the only thing holding this unit together and they become brittle after a short while, perhaps from the heat and/or sun exposure. You can count on those tabs breaking off too, either the first or second time you have to refill it. Its a great idea and the hummingbirds liked it, but don't buy unless you can accept this feeder as being a disposable feeder instead of a reusable one.
 Almost 5 stars August 16, 2008
Mic (United States)
We love this feeder. Here's why in a nutshell: The couch is in front of the window that this is mounted on, and so the hummingbirds feed about three feet from our eyes! It's amazing being so close. They are so cute. We have other feeders, but this is our very favorite. We have owned this about 18 months.
PROS:
1) It does not leak at all.
2) It is easy to fill without spilling anything. No mess.
3) It is easy to clean. I just flush it out with hot tap water between fillings.
4) The suction cup holds firmly to the window. It has never fallen off.
5) The birds feed on this thing many times a day and seem to love it as much as we do!
6) The birds are so close, that cat and dog love to sit on the couch or by the window and watch the birds too!
CONS:
1) One of the perches broke off soon after I bought it. It was due to my rough handling. I glued it back on and handle it more gently now. After doing that, it has been fine all last year and so far this year too.
2) The clip holding the clear part to the red base broke off right away, but it does not matter. The two main parts hold together with a nice snug pressure fit, and the clip is actually not needed at all.
All in all I would have given it 5 stars except for the plastic clip and perch breaking. The clip is not needed and the perch was easily glued back on. If I would have been more careful, the perch would not have broken in the first place. Again, we love this little feeder! I added a customer image of what we see from our couch.
It's For The Birds! September 16, 2008

This hummingbird feeder is for the birds-they love it! I've always had good luck with this style, seems sturdy. Love to have those little guys right up at my window so I can enjoy their antics. Would buy again.
