Nature's Way Brid Products WWGHF1 Top Fill Hummingbird Feeder

This is a spectacular feeder, the best one I have used. Let me explain why. I have dozens on humming birds coming to my patio every day, and I have used multiple different feeders, from the real cheap hand held ones, to window suction cup ones, to expensive antique glass large feeders.First, it is a good idea to put multiple small feeders around your humming bird feeding area. Any large feeder is likely to attract attention of one humming bird that will claim it as it's own. If you hang around many multiple feeders in close proximity, one bird will be overwhelmed with large number of incoming birds, and will not be able to guard them all, so it will focus on one feeder that it will claim as it's own, and will not allow other "bully" birds to perch anywhere near him. You may get 2-3 bully birds on the sides of your area, but they will only be protecting the closest feeder, so the rest will be shared among the coming birds.The reasons this feeder is the best:1. It does not have internal metal parts that are highly susceptible to corrosion over time2. The hanger design discourages one bird to sit on top of this particular feeder, other feeders often have square shoulder and/or thicker wire that enables bird to literally camp on the feeder and drive others away3. The size is perfect - if you have to maintain many feeders you don't want to have large capacity feeders to refill, the nectar spoils quickly and you need to empty it, clean, and refill every two days or more often4. The cleaning it easy, glass construction with removable flowers, when you have to clean many feeders often it makes a difference5. The feeder is flat enough to where the birds can empty it completely dry with their long tongues6. The design of the feeder is really good, feeders that you have to flip over have air bubble on top that expands in hot weather, and might push the nectar out creating mess, plus it does not generate bubbles as it gets drained that spook the birds7. Unlike flip over feeders you can always see exactly how much nectar is left on the bottom8. The flowers are replaceable, other feeders often have metal ports that loosed up over time with corrosion and many cleanings, I had to throw away some of those

The media could not be loaded. Update: still great after using through spring and summer. Activity picked up, so it’s mostly if not fully drained within a couple days. There’s always some left in my other two, which can hold a few more ounces and apparently are a little less appealing than this one (though they still drink from both types). The only times it isn’t drained is when there are particularly territorial birds chasing off all others - such feisty, tiny creatures :) The flowers have faded a little, but I think they’ll be fine for at least a full year of use before I consider buying replacements. They might fade faster in areas with less shade.Original review:Cute, good size, and most importantly, easy to clean thoroughly (feeders need to be cleaned every 3 days or more often in hot weather). I’ve had this up for a month, along with two single plastic flower feeders (one visible in video) that are less easy to clean. The hummingbirds found it and my other feeders quickly, and use both types even though this one doesn’t have perches like the other two. I have noticed a tiny bit of fading on the flowers, and based on other reviews imagine that might be worse in summer, and saw that replacements are currently out of stock in the only online store I could find them - so hopefully by the time the fading is worse they’ll be in stock, they are pretty cheap. I’m surprised there aren’t more small feeders on the market because even this one doesn’t get fully drained and I am dumping a decent amount of nectar every time I clean. Maybe there will be more birds in the summer to drain it faster, right now I have at least 5 regulars, and haven’t noticed other feeders nearby in the apartment dense area of Los Angeles I live in, although there are definitely gardens with good flower options around. I like that it has the one to four recipe to make nectar with white sugar and hot water imprinted on the side of the jar, so people are made aware of how easy (and cheap) it is to make it rather than buy the store bottles of nectar that often have harmful red dye. I haven’t noticed bees, but will update my review if there’s an issue when it’s warmer, though I think this type is more bee proof than the upside-down bottle types that tend to leak and the fact it doesn’t have yellow parts should help. I haven’t noticed rusting issues, but I hand wash them and dry off the metal lids right after washing (probably helps that in rarely rains here).I do want to note, when I ordered this off Amazon in December 2020 it was about $9, and now it’s almost double - so I just went to Home Depot today and bought three of the same exact one for $7 per feeder, so I can swap out for cleaning more easily and hang one up on the other side of the balcony to reduce territorial issues.

Very small but cute, the bees love it too.

These feeders are the perfect size because you aren't dumping out unused syrup all the time. They are made well and I like that they are glass. Design is good because you can easily clean them.

I bought this as it seemed sturdier than the typical glass and red plastic bottom that seems to crack each year.Pros - easy to open, clean and fill up. Size is nice and the metal hanger is a breeze to hang up. Price seemed decent.Cons - I really didn't realize that the "flower" is so high up on the container that you need to refill this always constantly. It seems a better design would be if the flower was lower (of course the engineers need to calculate the water pressure and all that.) Furthermore, you need to be careful when refilling as not to go "too full" as the pressure of the liquid will start to flow back out the "flower".Rather disappointed - would not recommend.
