Green antique Bottle Hummingbird Feeder features a sea green glass bottle with brushed silver accents with 4 decorative flower feeding ports surrounding its base. To attract hummingbirds, users should locate the feeder away from sun and wind. Sun may cause the nectar mixture to turn bad, while wind may swing the feeder around, causing the mixture to spill. Tying a red ribbon on the feeder wire or pole may also help hummingbirds find the feeder, as will adding a water source, such as a birdbath or bird waterer

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What criteria should I use when selecting a hummingbird feeder?
A. Make sure it is one that will be easy to clean and fill, especially since you will need to clean the feeder every few days. If you are worried about bees and wasps or ants invading the feeder, purchase a hummingbird feeder with bee guards.
Q. How do I clean my hummingbird feeders?
A. Hummingbird feeders need to be cleaned every 1-2 weeks. Use hot water and a bottle brush, along with mild soap; be sure to rinse thoroughly. The Perky-Pet cleaning mop is specifically designed for the purpose of cleaning hummingbird feeders, and is very convenient to use. This cleaning mop can also be used on seed feeders and oriole feeders for those small, tight spaces that are difficult to reach.
Q. What is the importance of providing water for hummingbirds?
A. Hummingbirds need fresh, clean water just as much as they need nectar. Hummingbirds stay healthy by using water not just for drinking, but also bathing, cleaning their feathers and to remove parasites. Waterers are better options than bird baths because they provide hummingbirds with fresh, clean water that prevents dirt and debris from contaminating it. In hotter climates or seasons, providing water for hummingbirds makes it easy for them to have access to a water source and retain their energy.

A perfect balance between form and function I’ve had this feeder for about 3 weeks now and have used it daily since – plenty of time to evaluate it and say that this is a great feeder and definitely worth buying.
rusts, but pretty I have had this a year or two (I don’t remember when I got it, but I had it before I moved). The bottle is glass. The base has two parts for easy cleaning (very important with hummingbird feeders), to clean the narrow necked bottle you will need to get a bottle cleaning brush. The top of the base is thin metal while the base is green plastic. The bottle is hung by a piece of metal. This metal makes it so you have to hold it while filling so you need to be able to pour with one hand. This part…
Too hard to fill I picked 1 of these up at Wal-Mart last year for eight dollars. First off, it’s very hard to fill because the bottle opening is way too small, so we had to buy a tiny funnel. Then we noticed that the metal part holding the “flowers” gets very hot after a few minutes in the sun – and since there are no perches on this model, the humming birds sometimes rest on that metal part while they eat. Even though ours was on the porch & out of the sun most of the day, the evening sun hit it & heated it…
