Aspects Hummzinger Excel Capacity Hummingbird Feeder (16 oz)

I have this feeder hanging just a few feet from a bottle type feeder. The hummingbirds choose the Hummzinger over the bottle feeder every time.One of the little rascals has decided that it's worth protecting and guards it for hours at a time. It even chased away a red finch that was wanting in on the action! It's so much fun to watch the mini-skirmishes!I'm buying another Hummzinger and hanging it out of sight from this one to give the other birds a chance!Posted a photo of the territorial hummer...

My hummers love this. The ants stay away.Easy to maintainThe" no questions asked" warranty is unbelievable.

Very easy to clean, you can see hummingbird tongues through the clear plastic, they sit quietly perching and feeding (until a Rufous hummingbird comes along and chases them off anyway)- all reasons why this is my favorite feeder. Have seen 5-6 on the feeder many times, although I notice that the females seem to be more willing to share the feeder than the males. The ant well in the top that gets filled with water keeps them from getting in. Bees and wasps seem frustrated, but they sure try. Noticed that the feeder with the nectar guards isn't visited often as the ones that don't have it. I've tried switching locations, so that's the only explanation I can come up with. Maybe they'd rather not stick their beaks through the plastic tip if they can avoid it. They still love the hourglass shaped feeder with no perch, but it's just more fun to watch them when they have a place to sit! Makes a great gift too.

I have owned several hummingbird feeders - some great, some not-so-great (and some downright terrible). I had always read rave reviews about the hummzinger and made a promise to myself to get one someday. I should have fulfilled that promise ages ago! This is, bar-none, the absolute best hummingbird feeder you can find. The innovation that went into this design is elegant, simple, and (nearly perfectly) effective. From the fact that you can mount this feeder either on a pole or from the included hanger, all the way down to the built-in ant moat, molded "flower" rain guards (not those cheap inserts), SIMPLE disassembly and cleanup (very few feeders allow such full access)... the list goes on...!Besides the fast assembly, among the first things I noticed were the easy measurement marks on the side (marked every 4 oz). The next, and most important, observation was the fact that the hummingbirds went bananas over this feeder. Literally, within minutes I had a swarm around the new feeder (placed in the same spot as the previous ho-hum feeder). The hummers were ecstatic! In fact, I begin to wonder if I'll have problems with the other two (perky pet bottle-style) feeders not being drained fast enough. I was fascinated with the fact that I could watch them drinking from below - through the clear-bottom reservoir. The next thing I noticed was the genius behind the way this feeder thwarts bees. My usual-suspect wasp was up to no good; trying to get to the sugar. Because the flowers are on the very top of this feeder, the bees just simply CAN'T get to the sugar at all!I think the only (slightly) negative thing to say about this feeder is that it's completely made of plastic, but that should never be a problem as long as you're not letting the squirrels get to it.I've run on too long with this review, but I think most will agree that you can't say enough about how well-designed this thing is. Get the hummzinger! The only word of caution I offer is that you watch out for some sellers (*cough*) who over-charge on shipping.
