Never knew there was so much to learn about hummies until I bought a bunch of different feeder styles. The tube feeders had only one feed port and attracted way too many bees so stopped using them. The cheap strawberry model faded fast but our hummies don't care about colors so we still use it. The push-pull style kept leaking - it was tricky to operate at first because it kept leaking on me because I had to learn how to screw-unscrew the bottom, how to assemble-disassemble the push-pull base parts, learn not to be afraid of tightening the top to create a vacuum, and learn how to operate the push-pull technology. I also shook the bottle too hard making the base overfill and leak. After a couple cleanings and refills, I got the hang of it and the syrup doesn't drip out anymore. Our hummies aren't particular about what feeder to use out of 3 models we own but the push-pull feeder is my favorite so far to clean and use (it holds a good amount of syrup and by the 3rd day, it's depleted enough to clean and refill fresh again). Our hummies are increasing in numbers - need to order more feeders and try some ant guards! ____________________________________________ Perky-Pet® - Consumer Relations Response Thank you for sharing your experience!

We've gone thru two of the push/pull feeders and all we got was a feeder that leaked all of its nector. We followed the directions, making sure everything was screwed on tight, pushing the container into the base to fill it and pulling up on the the containter to open the feeding ports. All it did was continue dripping to the ground until it was completely empty. Would not recommend this feeder to anyone. ______________________________________ Perky-Pet® - Consumer Relations Response Dear Dave,
Thank you for submitting an online review for the Perky Pet® Aster Top-Fill, Push-Pull Hummingbird Feeder (model 122TF). We are sorry you experienced issues with this feeder leaking.
Push-Pull technology is similar to that of a sports drink bottle. It is essential to ensure that all the connecting pieces of the feeder are tightly sealed. Verify that the two base components are tightly screwed together. Then make sure you have the bottle tightly screwed into the base. You’ll notice that the words open and close are on the base of the bottle. It is important to push down on the feeder to close off the ports – you’ll hear a popping noise. Now you are ready to completely fill your feeder with nectar again making sure you screw the lid back on tight, this creates a vacuum seal that controls the nectar flow through the ports. Take the feeder to the place you want to hang it. Pull up on the bottle reservoir (you will hear a pop) to open the ports.
