Birdscapes 8310-2 Landmark 10-Ounce Glass Hummingbird Feeder

 (17 customer reviews)

After doing searches and reading all the reviews, we opted for this feeder because it claimed to be metal and glass (the description reads: "Rising up from its hand finished metal base cover, its fluted glass nectar container is accented with a beautiful red tint"). Our spot is very sunny and we are not interested in investing on plastic trash that would last 3 years max and then crack. This feeder has a glass bottle that sits upside down on the metal part, but for some strange reason, the bottom of the bottle where the whole thing hangs from is made from plastic that is glued onto the glass, not something you can replace. Anyways, if you are looking for a feeder that can resist lots of sun and temperature variations, you are better off skipping this model. If you are the manufacturer, you should not deceive people with wrong facts in the description of your products.

I received this as a gift and I feel so fortunate. Photos really can't do this feeder justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. The glass part has a rosy tint. The base is coppery-brown. The feeding ports are copper-colored on the outside, with red inside the petals. The glass also has a few subtle cuts in it, giving it a bit of a crystal look.

Of course, the important thing is, will the hummingbirds like it? I hadn't seen any yet when I put this up. It's early in the season here. But within two days I had a visitor! And he's been back.

It is not difficult to clean this feeder either. And it's easy to fill and reassemble. I defintely recommend it! Often the "pretty" feeders are not very functional. This one is.

I bought three of these and gave one away as a gift because my friend love them so much! It takes a little while for the hummers to realize they can perch on it. I attracted them with an initial 3:1 water:sugar solution and will go back to the 4:1 when they finish what is in there. Don't hesitate to purchase this!
