Hummingbirds are the smallest bird in the world, but truly one of the most fascinating creatures on the planet. Hummingbirds are famous for their aerial display. They can fly up, down, forward, backward and sideways. And they can stop in mid-air! Because of their high metabolism, hummingbirds spend a great deal of energy flying so they must feed almost constantly. The Elixir Hummingbird Feeder features a red antique glass bottle and a bronze base with five feeding stations. Our red hummingbird feeder is designed to draw the attention of hummingbirds who typically feed from red flowers in the wild. The 13 ounce capacity will provide enough nectar to keep your resident hummingbirds full, happy and coming back for more!

Hanging Your Hummingbird Feeder
Hummingbird feeders can be either hung from a strong branch/shepherd’s hook or they can be pole or post mounted, but make sure your nectar feeders are at least 20 feet from your seed feeders. Hummingbirds are very territorial and may attempt to drive off your seed eating birds if they are too close to your nectar feeders. Also, to keep your nectar cooler and fresher longer, hang your hummingbird feeder where it receives minimal direct sunlight. Tip: You can plant nectar producing flowers that will also help attract hummingbirds to your feeders.

Results After 1 Year’s Use I have had purchased 3 of this More Birds Red Antique Glass hummingbird feeders last summer. I first purchased one and liked it so much I purchased 2 more. When I purchased them, I knew it was probable that the red color was merely a coating, but I hoped it would last a while. Well, by the end of last summer the color was wearing off even though they were gently washed as needed in warm water as needed. They were beautiful, I loved them and the birds love them so I figured I could buy some…
The hummingbirds and I are happy ….. I bought these because the feeders I had for more than 10 years in Arizona developed yucky black mold here in the Pacific Northwest — no matter how often I scrubbed the plastic, I just couldn’t get rid of it. As usual, I’m very pleased with Amazon’s customer service. I had ordered two of these — one arrived with a broken wire hanger, but Amazon replaced it very quickly, in just 2 days, without an extra charge to my account.
DOES NOT LEAK !! + UPDATE (2-15-17) Finally a feeder that does not leak. All of my previous ones (Perky Pet ones) were leakers. Some would leak at the first use, some with time.
