Elegant Glass Copper Hummingbird Feeder - 12 oz. Capacity

Hummingbirds die when fed iron! Don't buy this cheap and deceptive product from this sleazy, slick sounding fake vendor. Advertised as 'elegant glass copper feeder' - obviously NOT. A second grader will tell you copper does not rust. Apparently it is the copper color family! meaning fake product with copper color paint!! They don't give a hoot about wild life only your money !!!

Super simple Tom. The bottom of the feeder unscrews from the jar. The part with the flowers is two pieces that gives easy access to the insides for cleaning those parts. The mouth of the jar is the same diameter as the jar itself so filling is very easy. The top part (that has the wire for hanging) also unscrews easily for cleaning if needed but most importantly you can isolate the jar by itself for sterilizing by boiling or even putting in the oven. We just use hot tap water and a few drops of automatic dishwashing liquid to clean everything because auto dishwashing liquid has bleach in it that will kill any mold that might have grown since last filling. But it's important to thoroughly rinse everything afterward so there's no bleach residue that could harm the hummers. I’ve read that mold is dangerous to them as well. That’s why we take such care in cleaning before each filling. These are the easiest to maintain feeders we’ve ever had and we’ve tried quite a few different makes.

Try tilting the feeder after it’s filled to allow air in the glass cylinder and the nectar to completely fill the bottom reservoir.

After two fillings, ours has started leaking, too. I have taken it apart and refilled it twice and it seems correctly assembled, but then starts dripping. Rate is about one drip every two seconds. Also, it has started rusting inside of the chamber. I wonder whether this is causing a bad seal. I’d hoped it would last longer than a week or two.

If you are trying to take the top off it will just spin. It is not made to fill from top. You fill by taking bottom off by screwing the bottom off. Fill glass part up screw bottom back on and flip backup right side up. If bottom just spin I would say the threads are stripped out on the bottom.

Is others have said this feeder does not have any type of anti-guard and you will need to make or purchase one because Indians will be in it within a day of you installing it. I put mine up without an ant guard which was on order and when I went to check it the next day it was full of black ants.

No hummingbirds came to it after 3 weeks, but I got a red/yellow flower one and hummingbirds found it the first day. Ant issue as well. Pain to refill. Pick one with ant moat like Perky-Pet No Spill Top Fill.

No gasket on mine. Mine did not leak.

This humming feeder was just horrible it leaked so much I had to return it. Left a sticky mess in my patio.
