Billion Sky Hummingbird Feeder for Outdoors, Lantern Shaped Bottle, 6 Simulation Flowers Feeding Ports, 26 fl.oz, Hanging for Garden Yard, Rust Proof, Red(Ant Moat Included)

Though I'm an avid consumer, writing product reviews is something I avoid like sour milk and dog poop on my shoe. That being said, this product deserves mention. My wife and I have been feeding hummingbirds for nearly 40 years. We've had multiple generations of these beautiful and fascinating creatures come to our home every year to birth their babies, feed and return to their winter homes and we get 30 to 40 birds per season, drinking a quart of sugar water (or more) a day.We've tried all manner of feeders, from small plastic ones starting out, to the well known "World's Best" feeder that I found at a trade show some 30 years ago (we have 4 of them). All have their pluses and minuses. Some have glass containers and the bases separate for cleaning, but the hole in the glass container is too small to easily clean and the feeding position is not ideal. Others have beautiful glass containers, but are held precariously by a small glass loop at the top and their supposedly "rust proof" metal bases are not as "proofed" as they'd like us to believe (rust will poison the birds).Finally, after much searching on Amazon, we found this Billion Sky feeder. It's 28 ounce capacity is reasonably large, not quart size, but close. The beautiful red glass container is hung from a steel bail that is securely fastened to its top and the fill hole is large enough for a bottle brush. The base is two piece for easy cleaning, made of sturdy high grade plastic with an O-ring seal, it has soft rubber flowers, removeable perches that are well positioned and comes with a small ant moat hook system for hanging. These are 6 station feeders, so plenty of room for these aggressive, territorial little dive bombers, though it doesn't stop them from knocking each other around, as they always do!Additionally, the company provides a small brush for cleaning the drinking holes and an extra flower if one gets lost. And, it's very reasonably priced!For some reason, the birds stopped feeding from the "World's Best" feeders this season, showing the highest preference for a smaller 3 station one that has a more favorable feeding position with yellow flowers. This might be the result of putting the smaller one out first and the birds acclimating to it. We used the "World's Best" feeders for decades without issue and they are a well made product. I purchased 3 of the Billion Sky feeders and we immediately washed, assembled (a very easy process), filled, and put them up. The hummers needed only a minute or two to fully acclimate to them. These feeders are really gorgeous and nicely compliment our Corinthian Bells chimes (my wife's all time favorite gift!)I only just received these feeders yesterday, but am so impressed that I've taken the time to write this review and attach a photo so you'll know I'm not a shill, nor did I get anything from this company, though the red ones we ordered are on sale right now and, in my mind, an exceptional deal. The large red ant moats are ours. We decided to leave them up. The smaller black one that is par of the hook/hanging assembly, came with the feeders and is adequate if filled with mineral oil. Water would evaporate too quickly if left for a prolonged period.Hopefully the time spent writing this review will help both newbies and veterans alike and save you some of the hundreds of dollars I've spent over the last 40 years looking for the perfect feeder, because this is it!I can honestly say that there's nothing I would change or modify on these feeders, they're really that good!FWIW, my wife and I live on a 100+ acre farm and feed all of God's creatures out here... It's our own little nature reserve. By day, I'm a metal fabricator by trade and have built equipment for some of largest Fortune 500 corporations, am an admitted tinkerer, willing to modify ANYTHING that I feel needs it, and have no problem building, or re-building everything from our house and garage, to my computers and tools.Best of luck in your hummer feeding adventures! Please be sure to keep your feeders clean, change the sugar water regularly so it doesn't spoil, and don't use dye or pre-made feeding solution. Clean filtered water mixed in a 4 to 1 ratio using quality cane sugar will do the trick. Consistency is the key. Happy feeding!

They love to sit on the metal perch and have a drink. Sometimes they even just hang out on the perch. They love their new hummingbird feeder!! As you can see from the pictures. I have 6 of them and this one is now their favorite feeder so much so that now I fill this one up with sugar water about every other day and the others not so much. This is also my favorite because it's very stury and very well made and so easy to clean. I love that their are no inside parts because I have 2 others with inside parts that are very difficult to even take apart. Not this one; this one is very easy to take apart and clean. I also love the metal perches because they won't break. By far this one is also my favorite feeder, too. And it comes with spare flowers, cleaning brush and ant moat! You simply can't go wrong with this one. Everything is on point with this hummingbird feeder and believe me, I know because I've had many. I've been feeding hummingbirds for almost 3 years now and I have so many of them. My husband and I, our neighbors and everyone who visits us really enjoys the hummingbirds. I have a huge variety. I'm just taken by how much they love this feeder; This has never happened before, where they prefer one feeder so much over the others that I fill it almost daily while the others I fill about once per week or their second favorite about once every 5 days. I don't know why they prefer this one so much; maybe its the metal perches that are a little thicker and sturdier maybe they feel more comfortable on those. Or maybe because it's so easy to clean that I do a quick cleaning every time I fill it so the hummingbird water is always super fresh and clean. I don't know why but the hummingbirds love this feeder and favor it over the others.

Let me preface this by saying I live in South Texas near Rockport which is the path of the final stop before the annual September migration of hummingbirds to Mexico for the winter; so I get more birds than the usual customer. It’s not uncommon to have 25 or more hummers fighting for a feeder at the same time.I have tried countless feeders over the years and it seems the prettier the feeder looks to me, the less they like it. Not this one. It was instant love for the birds, and me. The ruby color is gorgeous.The feeder arrived well packaged with very clear, easy instructions on assembly. Aside from the beautiful color and great construction, one of the first things I noticed was the ‘flowers’ were made of silicone instead of hard plastic. That will make cleaning much easier. It also comes with a small brush to clean them which is important to avoid bacteria and mold growth in the flowers. Another great feature is the clear bottom so you can see how much nectar is left when it runs low. It also comes with an Ant mote to keep the little raiders out as well as a spare flower.The instructions include a recipe for the 4-1 standard sugar water nectar widely recommended by the Audubon Society. (Read it with the helpful info for food safety it contains.)The video in this review was taken less than 4 hours after I hung the feeder. for the evening feed. As you can see, this feeder is a winner with the little guys who will have a full belly when they head over the Gulf of Mexico just a few miles south. I love and am impressed with this feeder so much, I just bought 3 more as gifts for my neighbors. Highly recommend!

I love this feeder! Lovely heavy glass that won’t blow around so much in the wind. It has all the features I like, -beautiful red glass, embossed with hummingbird and flowers, nice plastic bottom and flowers so no rusting and big plus…it has perches! Also it’s easy to clean and reassemble. Just beautiful..and vintage looking…hope the hummingbirds like it as much as I do. Another thoughtful and conscientious gesture is that you also get a replacement flower and ant moat and cleaning brush! Excellent!

These pretty vintage red glass hummingbird feeders were delivered well packed and perfect! I filled them with homemade nectar and hung them up right away! Best ever! I'm sure the hummers won't have a problem finding these! They sparkle like red ruby gems in the sunlight! Thanks for an outstanding product!
