For many years Ihave used 12 of the 209 feeders. Tried several others, but these draw hundreds of hummingbirds each year. One helpful hint, my husband discovered, the feeders are brought in to be sanitized and filled with fresh nectar. Each time we took the filled feeders back outside, there were always drips as we walked. Brillant husband this year suggested that I fill the 30 oz feeder, put a two liter soda lid on the feeder to carry them outside. Once outside, I take the soda lid off and put the feeder perch on before haning them. Brillant - no more dripping nectaur to clean up between the kitchen, garage, and deck. I would suggest that bottle caps be provided with each feeder. Hummingbirds are at their peak 08-05-2010 in southern Indiana. My absolute favorite part of the summer!

I have to agree with the two other reviewers that I see on the web site, except to say that I actually wrote a note to ask about the perch and I was told that there was no replacement and that I would have to get the entire bottom assembly at a cost that almost equaled the cost of a new feeder. I haven't gotten a new one yet, and the one that I have, and have had for years has nothing left of the perch, so they have to fly for their food, but they do! I love that feeder, and although I would like to replace the perch and have even thought about manufacturing my own, (which I have not done, but am still thinking about), I also think that I may buy another to have a second feeder out on the porch. We have hummers all year, although fewer in the winter where we are in Southern California, and we very much enjoy watching the beautiful little critters.
