Cherry Valley Feeder 16-Ounce Easy Clean Hummingbird Nectar Feeder

Actually this item is useless to feed humming birds. The nectar container spills most of the liguid before one can get it hanging and then the birds cannot reach the nectar with their bills. It is a good thought but needs some work!!

I liked the good ideas incorporated into this feeder: the built-in roof, ant guard and especially that one could take apart the nectar chamber to clean it! However, after you hang it the problem shows up. The nectar chamber is in a donut shape to accommodate the center support. That's not the problem. The donut-shaped chamber has a 'slice cut out of it' so you can slide the nectar chamber into place around the center support. That 'missing slice' in the nectar chamber throws the whole thing off balance once you fill it. The poor thing lists to one side like a drunken sailor and spills much of the nectar!

I decided I like the concept of this feeder, so ordered one. I have several saucer feeders. But really like the idea of a cover to protect from rain. Well, it was defective. The center post would not telescope. The hangar wasn't put in place and I couldn't get it to stay in place no matter how hard I tried. The instructions state it was completely assembled. It wasn't I guess. Sent it back.
