Garden Ballet 26004-1 Hummingbird Feeder Mobile

I would highly suggest you DON'T buy this feeder if you want to attract AND FEED hummers. It is just too delicate, cannot withstand any wind, cheap hooks and hummers have a difficult feeding from it because the holes are hard for them to find. I have scads of hummers in my yard in the summer and they don't like this feeder(they will go to my other feeder and avoid this one). They like my strawberry feeders best and my larger red feeder with yellow flowers on it because they can see where the flowers are and they like to sit down. So two thumbs down on this feeder.

Recently I purchased the Garden Ballet Hummingbird Feeder Mobile. The look is everything I expected and more. I hung it from a huge limb on my oak tree by a window using 40 pound test fishing line. It was up for about six weeks when the squirrels chewed the line and it dropped to the ground breaking one of the globes all to pieces and cracking another. The cracked globe will still hold liquid but will eventually break now that it has been cracked. It is such a beautiful sculpture which also has a function. But, it now looks incomplete and doesn't hang as well. I'm also disappointed that the "hooks" are nothing more than very light weight wire shaped in a circle which to me is inappropriate for the weight and delicacy of the glass globe, not to mention the price of the mobile which will inevitably be destroyed by it's own design flaw.

This looks so much nicer than the plastic feeders I have. It is also easy to clean and fill. Please note that the nectar jars are actually clear with red bottoms, not all red like the picture implies. I only use sugar water (1 part sugar to 4 parts water) in my feeders, and the red on this feeder is enough to attract the birds without adding potentially harmful red dyes. The jars are also far enough apart that I occasionally see more than one bird on the feeder at a time - hummingbirds don't like to share and will chase others away from closer feeding ports. Highly recommended.
