 Hummingbirds' Favorite Feeder August 3, 2000
38 out of 39 found this review helpful
I have three of these feeders on my front porch now and am thinking of purchasing three more because they seem to be my hummingbirds' favorite feeders. During the months of August and September each year we have between 70 and 100 hummingbirds at one time coming to 15 different types of feeders hanging on our front porch. The Perky Pet 209 30-oz. feeders always seem to be the ones the birds go for first. I also like them because they are large but easy to handle when filling and easy to clean. Other advantages: glass instead of plastic seems to keep the sugar water fresher longer; bee guards are built in and don't fall out; circular perch stays put and doesn't require adjustment. I've tried all kinds of hummingbird feeders and I think this one is the best.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1XX74GUG5W4BZ A great feeder. Never any problems. It's not hard to keep clean unless you let the mixture go rancid. Buy bottle brushes when you get this or you'll struggle to clean it, if the mixture goes bad. Our birds will go through this in 1 week!
This is just a couple minutes of video. They'll allow me to stand about a foot away from the feeder and still drink. It's great for pictures. These little guys are really aggressive (Rufous) and one sounds like a tiny version of the Jetson's spaceship. You can hear these guys all day. If you like peace and quiet, don't get a feeder if you live in Colorado and have these guys around. All day the kids, 4 and 6, are getting their books out to read about the birds. Go to hummingbirds dot net to find out about proper cleaning and mixture. What's real funny is watching all the "regular birds" trying to get something from this like the hummers. They're all learning to hover real well.

Since I have used this feeder for many years, I ordered three new ones. The glass construction is the best, because the glass does not cloud up like plastic does. The size is great because we have a lot of hummingbirds in our desert home area, and the liquid food goes fast. I refill once a week, and refrain from filling it to the top, in order to not waste. I have tried other feeders through the years, but this is the best.
Best hummer feeder by far May 9, 2007

This is the best hummingbird feeder if you have lots of hummers. That's because of the high capacity. Also, I absolutely disagree that you cannot or should not use bleach to clean a hummingbird feeder. Actually that's the way to go. Been doing it for 10 years, and never lost any hummers. You just have to be careful to not use too strong a solution, and rinse it well and let it dry before using. [...]
With such a high capacity, and six stations, this feeder is the best. Just be SURE to mount securely, as it WILL break if it falls on a hard surface (remember that high winds can take it down)!

This hummingbird feeder is by far the best we have ever used. We use six feeders filled 2 x per day. Needless to say we have a great multitude of piggish hummingbirds. We have been using this feeder for over 12 years. To clean the feeder base of algae, we use a large bucket filled with water mixed with about 1/2 cup of bleach and let it soak overnight. Make certain you rinse very well, let dry and cannot smell any clorine before re-use. We also wash the feeder after the clorine treatment. To retard the algae growth and to discourage bees from being attracted to the feeder, we wash the feeder after every use totally submerged with water and dishwashing soap [dawn]...We allow it to soak overnight and rinse very well [no more bubbles in the base or glass holder]with hot water before use.
