After that TV debacle, I need something cheapish to reestablish my trust in getting frangible items shipped to me. If it makes it in one piece, it’ll be a birthday gift for Mom.
@cotten516 I finally cancelled mine at the beginning of September. I found that I rarely buy more than one item a month, and have quite a few times not bought anything. Too bad, since I was a Kickstarter funder and a VMP member since the start. shrug
Hopefully it’ll arrive in one piece. Unlike the other one. (In fairness, contacted support and a new one of the bowl-like design is coming to me in another color. But worst case, my boyfriend’s mom gets two hummingbird feeders… the better to prevent them fighting. Hummingbird fightclub, just saying.)
@Jamileigh17 My bowl feeder arrived intact, but I was unprepared for just how much bird juice I had to make just to get it filled halfway.
Haven’t seen any hummers at the feeder since I replaced the old feeder, but I do know the chickadees and woodpeckers seem pissed the old feeder is gone.
@LaVikinga OMG 36 ounces is huge! Has anyone come up with something to put in it so you use less nectar? I saw glass marbles but that would be a lot of work to clean.
@callow Have a dishwasher? I use glass marbles in flower vases. When it’s time to wash them, I dump them into the silverware basket, and run them through with the rest of the dishes. Clean & shiny.
I was thinking about using some smooth river rocks inside to fill the base up. Only thing holding me back from that idea was the weight over-stressing the chain.
@LaVikinga Every few days I change about 12 ounces of sugar water in my current feeder. I’m thinking just a sealed container of water will do the trick or even a water bottle. I see one hummingbird at a time, at most six times a day. They don’t drink very much!
Also, some idiot portion of my brain keeps forgetting that hummingbirds aren’t bugs

@MehnofLaMehncha Full Elvis requires the wearing of TV glasses, being surrounded by the Memphis Mafia, and a monkey named “Scatter” at your side.
Elvis was one strange dude.
Elvis had a case of drugs he could carry with him, and it was referred to as his “kit”. This ‘kit’ would contain a variety of things, ranging from cash, to drugs, to Feen-a-mint gum and Brut that Elvis demanded always be on hand. This one trip to Las Vegas, in the early 70’s, Hamburger James, the man who was in charge of keeping Elvis swimming in cheeseburgers, stole Elvis’ kit. When Elvis found out, he was furious and tracked Hamburger James down at the airport. Hamburger James’ plane was pulling out, and Elvis exclaimed “Stop that plane, I’m an FBI agent”. He flashed the badge famously given him Richard Nixon. As Elvis detained the plane, the Memphis Mafia boarded the plane and retrieved Hamburger James and Elvis’ missing kit. No one in the entourage knew what Elvis would do to James. They knew he had a gun. He said he was going to kill him. When they got the Hotel, Elvis confronted James. Elvis raised a table, as if to smash him James with it, but then, as if coming to his senses, he set it down and hugged him. “If you needed something, all you had to do was ask…” With that James was forgiven. While cruel and by many definitions abusive to his staff (making them slaves to his whim), Elvis was a ‘forgiving god’… so long as they knew that life was better with the King than with him as their enemy. By morning though, Hamburger James having been terrified by the whole ordeal (and the beating he received from the boys as they dragged him off the plane) had skedaddled, never to be heard from again.
And somewhere scrawled on the wall which surrounds Graceland can be found these immortal words: “Elvis cured my hemorrhoids.”
Make sure you keep the moat clean of debris and empty the dead ants out often if you have lots of ants or else a “bridge” will be formed that the ants can use to cross over the water to your feeder.
That’s kind of metal. “We crossed the moat on a bridge made of our fallen comrades’ carcasses!”
@hmclynch87 I have a traditional humming bird feeder with guards on them to keep wasps and ants away. I also have perches on mine. People say “I never saw a hummingbird sit before”, and I say that’s because most feeders don’t let them. I have to shake my feeder every day to get the air bubble locks out of it.
I have no idea about this feeder.
@hmclynch87 Lucky! I not only got ants, but wasps, which chased away the hummingbirds…until the honeybees came which chased everything away then layered on so thick you couldn’t even see the feeder.
@butchworley that’s why you put a “Mosquito Bits” in the moat… also don’t buy “Mosquito Bits” from amazon way over priced, they are like $8 at farm supply stores.
There’s no place for a hummingbird to stand (sit?). The ones on our feeders often stand while they’re eating. That way they can rest their little wings.
@Jonas4321 I think that part of the description may be an inadvertent leftover from the last set of hummingbird feeders. These don’t look like they have a ring.
I want to order these just to say they’re broken when they arrive. If we all do this, they’ll run out of these fucking things. Then we can get more light bulb speakers.
@warpedrotors Sorry, that makes as much sense as my wife’s suggestion that we elect Trump so he can be impeached for ineptitude and we will get his running mate as President, thereby avoiding both Trump and Hillary. Not playing.
Don’t want to crap on this deal but… I bought the exact feeder in the first picture from morningsave a while back and have had no luck getting it to hold nectar without leaking. I’ve tried everything. I contacted Nature’s Way about their warranty and didn’t hear back. I’d avoid this one if I were you.
I would rather buy something like the fuku that is useless and I am finally going to have to throw away rather than something like this which I know is useless and have to throw away. Less grief from the wife if she doesn’t know its useless until it comes.

Completely irresponsible to sell these right now. People will put them out when they should be putting them away right now so the little birds migrate south to Mexico and the islands for the winter
@msujp Hummingbird migration begins because of day length - or rather increasing night length. I always leave feeders out until after the first freeze, since latecomers are especially in need of extra fuel for the flight south.

I’m guessing they have a LOT of these. I would consider this but one vicious thunderstorm and I can see this shattering in a million pieces.
Looks like a blender. I did’nt think they were so popular with the hummingbird population.
