Perky-Pet Window Mount Hummingbird Feeder, 8 oz Nectar Capacity

How many times have you filled your hummingbird feeder that dangles only to have it empty out on the ground on a windy day? Or those that have a feeding tube that drips constantly? They're all going in the garage sale because this feeder is the bomb. We didn't use the suction cup, we put a screw into one of the posts of the patio cover, which is very near the flower bed where the hummers come, and hung the feeder using the hole that holds the suction cup. My thinking was that if the wind blew it any at all, I could tie a string or a long twist-tie around the bottom of the clear part and the post to secure it. But so far I haven't had to do that. I prefer that the hummers get their nectar from the flowers because it's better for them, but it's nice to have supplemental feeders in case they're not finding enough. Mounted this way, the feeder doesn't sway in the breeze and the nectar stays in the feeder. It only holds a cup, and I find that's too much, so I only make half a cup of nectar at a time. 2 TBSP sugar to 1/2 cup warm water (this works out to a ratio of one part sugar to four parts water), stir till the water's clear, change it every day. So far I haven't found any ants in it, but if I do, I'll put a Tanglefoot barrier on the lower part of the post. This is an update, I always buy a couple of these to keep in reserve, in case one gets damaged in the midst of hummingbird season, and one of my reserve feeders leaked. From now on, I'll test the red reservoir on the bottom to make sure the seam around the bottom has been adequately glued, as soon as it arrives in the mail. It had been so long since I bought the one that leaked that I didn't think I could return it. Hubs stopped the leak with clear caulking material. But seriously, if you're buying these ahead to use as replacements, do check for leaks. Usually what happens that requires the ordering of another is that the plastic prongs on the red base break. They fit into the clear part so if even one breaks, that renders the whole thing unusable. I'd be a happy camper if these prongs weren't so delicate. I do agree that the plastic prongs that snap into the grooves to hold the clear part to the red part do look a little delicate, so I am being careful to squeeze them gently together when I lock and unlock the parts from one another. So far so good. There are only two feeding holes, this being virtually "half a feeder", so I am ordering more. Last fall I had fifteen hummers at my feeders and they fight for feeding rights. I don't see a two-hole feeder being a disadvantage since one hummer will chase all the others away from a four-hole feeder anyway and it's actually better to have several small feeders in different locations than it is to have just a couple of bigger ones. It's also easy to clean. Priced at $11.65 at this writing, and free shipping, you can pay a lot more for a hummingbird feeder that sways in the wind or leaks in some other way. I wouldn't suction-cup it to a window because I think it might be a bit heavy. Today I'm ordering a "jewel box" style feeder that's only $7.50, I will review after it's received, I will use that one on a window. Oh, and remember, plastic fades and cracks with long exposure to sun, you'll be putting feeders in the shade, anyhow, won't you? But take them in when the season's over and they'll last a long time.

I’ve been using the Perky-Pet Plastic Window Mount Hummingbird Feeder for two seasons now, and I like it enough that I’ve added a second one. One of my favorite things about this feeder is being able to watch hummingbirds right up at the window—it gives such a close-up view you don’t get with traditional feeders. I wasn’t sure at first if they would use a feeder this close to the house, but they had no problem finding it. The size is just right—not too big or too small—and it makes it easy to keep the nectar fresh since I can clean and refill it regularly. The feeder is also easy to take apart, clean, and refill. The suction cups have held up very well, and I haven’t had any issues with them coming loose. As shown in my photos, they stay securely attached to the window. I also haven’t had any issues with it attracting bees or ants, which has been a big plus. It can leak a little when flipping it over after filling, but it’s easy to avoid by doing that step outside, and it hasn’t been a big issue for me. Overall, this has worked really well for us and has been a great way to enjoy watching hummingbirds up close. I would definitely recommend it.

This feeder immediately attracted lots of hummingbirds but when an overly aggressive blue jay tried to chase away a hummingbird, the feeder fell of the suction cupand broke. When contacted by email, the company was IMMEDIATLY resposive to my email and has agreed to send me a new feeder. It is rare these days toreceive any response from ac ompany but they responded immediately and positively. i will now always order from them. So I highly recommend theirprouct and their company's reliability and responsivety to customer concerns

Cheap little feeder, but it has held up well. The hummingbirds love it and fight for a perch. Really fun for the grandkids who love watching from inside the window. Holds well on the window so far and is easy to clean. I only wish the reservoir was bigger, because the birds empty it in only a few hours and we are constantly taking it down to fill it.

I've been buying theses for years and love them. Easy to clean and enjoy seeing the hummingbirds up close

Really happy with this little feeder. I needed a window mount feeder because the raccoons kept draining my hanging feeder. It is not too large, easy to clean and fill/refill. Relatively inexpensive. The hummingbirds found it immediately and are enjoying it and so am I as I can see it from any seat in my family room. Should have opted for a window mount feeder earlier.

The hummingbirds love this little window feeder! And I enjoy watching the hummers as I'm fussing at the kitchen sink. But as many others have reported, the design is flawed leading to the critical plastic stems breaking off. I've tried other window feeders, but this is the one the hummers prefer. TRY MY HACK: The red bottom affixes to the clear plastic holder by two plastic stems, each with a short flat prong that fits into a slot on the clear plastic well. The pronged stems provide a good grip onto the plastic well (never leaks). But you have to squeeze the two stems together to release the prongs from the plastic well every time you need to refill it. This repeated action very quickly breaks off one or both of the stems rendering the feeder useless (I tried affixing a broken bottom to the holder with rubber bands and tape but the sugar water leaks out). After re-ordering this feeder multiple times I tried this reinforcement hack and it's worked wonderfully! Get 2 toothpicks and some gel crazy glue. Break off the pointed end of the toothpick so that the length of the toothpick runs from the bottom edge of the red feeder along the length of the stem, stopping at the prong. Glue the toothpicks in place being very careful to not allow the glue to run into the well of the feeder (the hummers would not like that). This reinforcement hack prolongs the life of the stems/prongs. It also makes it a bit more difficult to remove the red feeding dish--just carefully squeeze the stems together while nudging the opposite side of the red dish off of the clear well. I've been using this for months now with no leakage and no sign that the stems are weakening. Cleaning: It's hard to clean the red feeder dish with the plastic flowers inserted, but I don't want to pop them out every time I clean it. So I've bent one of my bottle brushes to have a curved edge to get around the corners, and that does the trick. Keep an eye on the seams of the clear plastic container--I've found mold will grow into the seams and my bottle brushes just can't remove it. Even a cotton swab dibbed in bleach has difficulty removing the mold, but that is the best solution I've found. The suction is very good; I've had one fall after about a year's steady use. Soaked the suction cup in warm water, cleaned the window and popped it back on. I've had no issues with bees or ants.

I'd give 10 stars if I could. It's well made, the silicon flowers are durable in sun, suction is strong, no other birds or bugs can find a way to use it. If hummers bring you peace, please sit and soak it up as I do every day.

Apparently there is no humming bird in Australia. I'm just trying my luck to see if it attracts other similar small birds. This is not too expensive as an experiment. Two weeks in, no bird yet.

Love this feeder. My daughter watches the hummingbirds from her bedroom on our second storey. Worth every penny!

A los colibríes les encanto. Hay que abrir concuidado las alitas de atras pero por lo demas muy bueno. Tarda en bajar el líquido por lo que le hice dos pequeñas perforaciones poco arriba de la entreda en la base y con ello les facilito la succión y la bajada del nectar. Es fácil de limpiar y se ajusta muy bien a la ventana la ventosa. Lo recomiendo mucho

I was a bit skeptical as its glass and would be heavy filled. It has 3 feeding station and it didn't take long for it to be found! The hummingbirds were fighting over it. So easy to put on the window and lays flat. Love it! Will buy again for other windows!

No!
