 Great, sturdy hummingbird feeder! Sep 01, 2008
By Christina Jedziniak
"Artsy Librarian"
I had been looking for a sturdy hummingbird feeder that didn't look too cheap or tacky for a while when I finally found this one at Walmart for $10. It was the last one that they had, and I wish that I could find it again for the same price or even slightly more (I'm unwilling at this point to pay double the price plus shipping), as I've decided to get several more feeders. Despite the fact that the base is plastic, this feeder is solidly made. The glass bottle is an elegant hourglass shape, the plastic flowers for the feeding ports are a little more intricate than most, and the perch design is clever as well as functional. Most importantly, since hanging the hummingbird feeder, we have attracted not only our resident hummingbird, a Ruby-Throated male that I've jokingly nick-named "Rambo" for his aggressive defense of the feeder, but we've also drawn in several others (hence the need for additional feeders).

 Be Careful Apr 17, 2010
By Connie S. Cravens
Was really excited to fill this great looking hummingbird feeder. When I went to screw on the cap the glass neck broke right off. Seriously, I am not that strong. Very disappointed. So if you buy this, be careful not to tighten it too much.

Glass cracked bottom fell out 2 hours after installed May 05, 2009
By Dog lover

I just purchased online, from Amazon, box intact. I filled half way with hummingbird nectar, and hung in my bag yard. Less than 2 hours later I found that the glass completely cracked at the just below the fill hole and the entire fill spout cracked off. Nothing more to do but to toss in the trash, unrepairable. Unbelievable. N0 I did not over tighten.
I am not sure it is worth my time to call them for replacement.
But I thought I would write the review.

Update March 2009 - Change to 4 stars Nov 01, 2008
By A. Landry
UPDATE March 2009: Put out feeder today -- realized when putting pieces back together, the 2 bottom sections have to be aligned just right for the perches to match up with the flower ports --- to do this, I could not tighten the bases completely. I actually had to tighten and then un-screw a bit for everything to match up. Now, I am concerned about possible leakage. I will have to monitor for this...if leakage is a problem, this feeder will be a definite problem. We'll see...
I have several years of experience feeding hummers, and this is my new favorite feeder...very sturdy, good capacity -- don't have to refill too often, thick glass, excellent feeding ports and adjustable perches. But the reason I will keep buying it and buy it for gifts is: it is the easist to clean that I have ever had!!! :) This is so important to keeping the hummers safe and healthy, and to keep them returning to your feeders. The entire base comes apart and there are no nooks/crannies to maneuver around -- only flat surfaces. Opus also makes a great window hummingbird feeder which Amazon sells. Invest in a brush set to clean, especially the really small brush to get into the drinking ports, and you will be set to enjoy hummingbirds all season! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this feeder!!

 Big, but not as good as I'd hoped Aug 25, 2008
By Becky in Boerne
Very easy to fill, nice thick glass, but I've noticed that it needs to be tapped or rocked several times for the first couple of days when it's full to almost full to allow the solution to "glug,glug" and get into the bottom. Bee guards fall out if our squirrels even think about touching them. They're easy to put back, but it's a nuisance. This should come with some kind of serious hanger. The little S-hook included didn't even begin to do the job.
