Because of this feeder’s convenient window-mount design, you’ll be able to enjoy watching hummingbirds from the comfort of your couch or while at the table having dinner with your family or working on art projects with the kids.

8-Ounce Capacity & 2 Feeding Stations
Holding up to 8 ounces of nectar, this hummingbird feeder features a transparent, shatterproof, plastic reservoir and a bright-red plastic base that will quickly capture the attention of hungry hummingbirds. Its rounded, gently sloped base comes equipped with two flower-shaped feeding ports and two detachable perches that offer a restful place for hummingbirds to comfortably perch while they sip nectar and survey their surroundings.
Sturdy Suction Cup for Window Mounting
Use the included suction cup to securely attach the feeder to any outside window. Perhaps on a kitchen window for charming company when sipping coffee with a friend or washing dishes at the sink. A den or living-room window works well, too. As an alternative to using the suction cup, this hummingbird feeder can also be hung by a screw or nail in a different location, like on the side of a tree or attached to a post. Either way, the feeder promises sensational sightings throughout the day.
Ideal Location
An ideal location not only provides a great view, but is also hummingbird friendly. Hummingbirds prefer space so they can easily move from one feeding port to the other. They also like to be near flowers and in a spot that gets both sun and partial shade during the day. A hummingbird-friendly location will be at least 10-15 feet away from nearby coverage, like a shrub, so they feel safe and protected from predators.
Easy to Fill and Clean
This hummingbird feeder’s clear reservoir detaches from the feeding base and comes with a wide mouth opening for easy filling. The two perches and the snap-on yellow-flower accents also detach from the base to ensure convenient access and thorough cleaning. Keep the feeder clean and filled with fresh nectar to ensure return visits from hummingbirds. Perky-Pet recommends cleaning the feeder at least twice a week, more often in very warm climates or seasons.

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.

I absolutely love this feeder! 5+ Stars I discovered the existence of the Perky Pet Window Mount Hummingbird Feeder last year at the dentist’s office. While sitting in “the chair” waiting for my checkup, I noticed this feeder stuck to the long plate glass window opposite me. To my amazement, within minutes at least three different hummingbirds arrived to take a drink. I was fascinated to observe them so closely and thought how clever an idea it was to manufacture a feeder to bring the birds right to your window. I asked the…
Too Fragile I’ve got two of these, but will not be getting any more. As indicated in other reviews, the tabs holding the two pieces together break off very easily, making the feeder all but unusable. The other problem is that these feeders leak sugar water at the joint between the two pieces, which means they’re constantly covered with bees and wasps, which chase the hummers away.
Do Not Buy The clear plastic that holds the clear part to the red bottom to the is way too easy to break. It’s a shame because the hummingbirds like to use it — and it’s a great way to watch them. I have bought four of them and no matter how careful I am it breaks sooner or later!
