Holding up to 8 ounces of nectar, the Perky-Pet Pinch Waist Plastic Hummingbird Feeder features a red plastic bottle with a pinched waist and a wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning. The feeder’s design also includes four flower-shaped feeding stations, each with a resting perch and a built-in bee guard to protect the nectar supply. The feeder also comes with a built-in ant moat on the top (simply fill with water to keep ants away). In addition to its wide mouth opening, this hummingbird feeder’s base and ports come apart to ensure convenient access and thorough cleaning. The bee guards also snap open, making washing the feeder easier. This feeder comes with a free 1.3 oz. packet of instant nectar concentrate, which makes the perfect amount of nectar to fill this feeder.

not glass like they used to be Con:Plastic bottle, not glass like they used to be, so it’s just a matter of time before it starts to deteriorate.Does not come with wire to attach feeder at top.Pros:Tinted red, so you don’t need to use tinted sugar-water.Opening to bottle is larger than it used to be, so it’s easier to clean.Little yellow cages that keep the bees out can be opened for cleaning.Ant moat built into top.Pros do not outweigh cons.
