Perky-Pet 18 oz Lantern Hummingbird Feeder - 201

Amazon Customer: I chose a plastic replacement for a glass feeder that crashed to the porch, probably the work of a woodpecker. The hummers took a couple of days to get used to this feeder, but they are comfortable with it now.
My only concern is that it's a bit challenging to clean, but overall it's a great feeder.

Sam: Very durable. Mine works perfectly. I know some reviews said itsl leaks but I have had mine out for almost 2 weeks and it hasn't leaked at all. Hummingbirds love it.

J. Ro: Does it's job. I have about 3 or so hummingbirds that have claimed it. I only need to fill it about 1/3 of the way and refill once a week. The little wire hanger included is surprisingly strong. No issues with leaking at all, and easy to clean - the bottom pops off to clean the inside as well. The only trick is filling and flipping over without spilling the nectar. Flipping over fast helps.

UPDATE: Bees have discovered it. Didn't realize this would be a problem and the openings are big enough for them to climb in.

UPDATE 2: fixed the bee problem with a simple hack. Just wrapped the flower attachments in green mesh plastic, reused from a bag of brussel sprouts. Hummingbirds didn't even notice the difference and now bees can't get into the holes. Still one star deducted bc they should have put bee guards on this from the start.

Rakesh SasibhushanRakesh Sasibhushan: Yet to check if it works for sunbirds, which was our. Intention to buy. We do not have humming birds here. But it attracts small harmless wasps and bees as well so that is a plus.
Good plastic. But the hanging ring is too narrow and it could have been metal for more durability. If it breaks due to solar wear and tear, it will be very diificult to use the product.
The saddest part is that it is Made in China, if realised earlier we would not have bought it. Did not want to return it as we were desperate for a Sunbird feeder.

sstr: The item has a defect which makes it unusble until fixed - which I was able to do. BUT I shouldn't have to fix a brand new item, and there's no guarantee my fix will hold for the long term. It was just easier to fix than do the whole return/refund process. I'll discuss the defect and my fix below.

HERE... I'll review the feeder as if it did NOT have a defect: Hard, clear ABS plastic reservior threads into red ABS plastic base. Reservior has a built in hanging connection, which is a bit too shallow (won't fit my snap connectors easily), but workable. The plastic base is two parts, which just snap together; four "flower" feeder ports snap-in to the upper part of the base, and fit securely.
The reservoir screws into the red base - and this is a real weakness: the base has a SINGLE thread to engage the reservoir's threads - it is REALLY easy to overtighten and hear it go "snap" as it loses the threading. This will strip out really easily, be careful.
I put teflon tape on the reservoir threads to make it more secure and seal better; I also added an o-ring around the the reservoir's neck - both improve the seal.
Once all together (and with fix described below), I filled...

chris hohenwald: I find the mouth too small. It's hard to clean and fill. There are glass models for a few dollars more that are well worth the money.

Darlene H.: I hung this up and waited, and waited, and waited......and finally! I saw my first hummingbird! At first glance I thought what is that thing? It looked like a giant brown moth and then it clicked...OMG, it's a hummingbird! I live in the center of Vancouver and while it is rare to see a hummingbird, they do exist so I thought why not? At just over six dollars I thought if it works, great and if not....well it's not a big loss. It took about six weeks but now they are coming. At least once everyday I see a number of the bigger brown ones and the odd time I'll see one of those colorful Anna's. It's always such a thrill to see them and I'm so glad I took the chance in purchasing this feeder. It was the cheapest one but Hey!.....it works great! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to attract hummingbirds! You don't need to spend a lot of money!
