Garden Jewels® 455-3 14-Ounce Glass Window Mounted Hummingbird Feeder

Comment: After I had spent way too much time putting the Garden Jewel feeder up, a dove hit it and knocked it down, where it broke when it hit the brick at the bottom of the window. As there is always a possibility of a large bird hitting a feeder, I would not recommend the glass feeder. I've had a plastic window feeder for years. It's a bit beaten up, but it is still functioning after several years. The glass feeder didn't last a week.

Comment: I have used this feeder for several years, and I learned a valuable lession which cost me 1 of the 4 units I bought. Since the 14 ounce glass container for this unit is heavy, the 2 suction cups that attach the unit to the window glass must be securely attached. For such secure attachment, the 2 suction cups must be very clean and sightly damp ( not wet ). The window glass where the unit is to be attached must be very clean and dry, or only slightly damp - not wet. When the sucion cups are attached to the window glass, it shoould not be possible to slide them sideways. Any water or dust particlees between the window and the suction cups can cause the suction force to deteriorate, resulting in a catastrophic detachment of the feeder from the window. I did that once.

Just in case, a soft door mat on the ground under the bird feeder is a good idea.

I still give the unit a 5 star rating.

In my opinion, substitution of a light weight acrylic container for the heavy 14 ounce glass bottle is worth considering.

Comment: Great little humm feeder works well here in California even in the winter time, try one you love it hummer's love it to, I bought two of them and have another on order.

Comment: This is truely a must have feeder! Its so much better than the similar plastic feeders.
I had been using the plastic ones for several years but this year we had a huge amount of hummers coming to our windows and I was at a point of filling the feeders up twice a day and the plastic ones couldn't handle the use I was giving them..I needed something better and found these here on Amazon! I am thrilled with their quality and great price. I appreciate that they are glass containers and they screw on verses the plastic ones that you have to squeeze the two tabs together to get apart & fill up..the tabs were breaking off on my other feeders..they still work with one tab but eventually both tabs on some of my OTHER plastic feeders (the ones you find at W*lm*rt etc) broke off resulting in feeders that wouldn't work.
Like I said these feeders are a glass container, plastic base and the glass screws onto the base..much easier to take apart and nothing to break. They are held onto the window with suction cups and they are STRONG..I was a little worried with the hummer juice making it heavy but they are extremely strong and I NEVER once had one fall and that was with 2x a day fillings! I am extremely pleased with these..I ordered 4 of these this past summer and plan to order more and eventually replace all of the similar style plastic ones.

A great value and EXTREMELY great quality!!!

Comment: I liked the sturdiness of this feeder. The only part I did not like was the fact that I can't take the feeder off the suction cups as I am supposed to be able to. I have to take all of it off each time I fill it.
