Hummingbird Feeders
Hummingbird feeders are the means in which we give the hummingbird food or nectar to the hummingbird. When looking for the perfect hummingbird feeder for your home, you will notice there are lots of different styles and shapes out there. This can make choosing the right hummingbird feeder somewhat overwhelming. Don't worry, we are here to help.
When looking for a hummingbird feeder you should know the all of the different parts and pieces while still considering the style of the feeder. With all of the different shapes and styles out there, we decided to review a few of them here. (Note: For current pricing, click on any of the images below.)

We hang this feeder ever year here at our Hummingbird Farm and highly recommend it. Although it is very small and the opening on the tank makes it hard to clean, the hummingbirds really like it. The flowers on the feeder are huge. Our hummingbirds really like to sit on the perches, stick their heads in the flower where they can't see the other hummingbirds, and take a nice long drink. This is the first feeder we put up and last one we take down every year. |

This feeder is the most common feeder we use here at our Hummingbird Farm for several reasons. First of all, if something breaks we can run to our local store to get a replacement. Second, this hummingbird feeder has a perch that goes all the way around the feeder with six (6) feeding stations. The bright red base attracts the hummingbirds really well and the opening to the tank is large enough to get a good Hummingbird Feeder Brush in it to get it really clean. We highly recommend this feeder for places with large hummingbird populations. |

This feeder is called the HummZinger Feeder. It works well for those areas that have a severe ant, bee, and/or wasp problem. HummZinger has patented the flowers on this hummingbird feeder to help prevent uninvited guests. The tank is in the shape of a bowl which sits below the flowers rather than above. This makes the tank really easy to clean and less susceptible to nectar dripping from heat expansion like the regular bottle type tanks. The tradeoff is it does not hold very much nectar so you may have to refill it more often. |

This is an example of a beautiful and elegant hummingbird feeder. The tank is made of tinted glass. The tinting will attract a hummingbird and the glass makes the tank easier to clean. It is a larger feeder holding 32 oz of nectar which would work relatively well in a location with many hummingbirds. Be sure you have a good strong place to hang it as it will be heavy once it is full. |

This is a modern little mobile hummingbird feeder. The bulbs are made of tempered glass. Each bulb will hold 10 ounces of nectar. The manufacture claims the bulbs to be bee resistant. This is a nice feeder in form; however, we found the function to be less than desirable considering the constant refilling. It does work well in areas with fewer hummingbirds. |
 |
This is a very nice feeder and the canning jar gives it a rustic look. The tank is very easy to clean. However, since the flowers are made of copper tubing cleaning them can be difficult. |
 |
This is a cute little hummingbird feeder. The tank is made of glass, yet the tank opening is rather small making it a bit harder to clean. It has suction cups that allow it to stick to a glass window. When you do stick the suction cups on the glass, make sure they are secured really well. Wipe the glass and the suction cups down with glass cleaner before you stick it on to give it a better grip. It is a nice little feeder for a small home or apartment that only gets a few hummingbirds. |
 |
This is a great type of hummingbird feeder to use when you just can't find a place to hang a feeder. With this feeder, you can stick it in the ground. The tank is small and will need to be refilled often; however, it is very cute and practical. |
 |
This hummingbird feeder look really neat, however, there is only one flower. We found that one hummingbird will lay claim to the feeder and attack any other hummingbird that gets close. Hummingbirds only drink a limited amount of nectar, so if you decide to use this type of feeder, don't fill it all the way up. (Unless of course you find that you need to.) The nectar may tend to go bad before the hummingbird can drink it all. |
|
This hummingbird feeder looks absolutely beautiful and has no problems attracting hummingbirds. The tank is more difficult to clean and is very small. The hand-blown glass will make it a beautiful addition to any collection. |
