Aspects Hummzinger Excel Feeder

This feeder is simply the best for all the reasons such as ease of cleaning, durability in construction and overall design.

-PROPER CLEANING IS A MUST-

The Hummzinger Excel by Aspects Inc. is the easiest to clean feeder that I have ever owned. Unlike the inverted bottle style feeders this feeder has no recessed or unreachable places that will harbor mold and bacteria. This feeder is simply three parts, the red top that is basically flat on the underside, the bowl like basin and a metal hangar. Cleaning is simple and requires only removing the top and flushing the top and basin out with hot water. DO NOT use soap, as hummers can taste the residue! This cleaning should be done every three or four days (more often if in a warmer climate or if mixture becomes cloudy or has black specks). Once a month soak the feeder top and basin in a mixture of 1/4-cup bleach to one gallon of water. Soak for one hour then rinse thoroughly with hot water. Dry and refill...Read more

Before purchasing the HummZinger I researched various feeders. I was in the market for a feeder that attracted more birds and less bees. The general design of this feeder keeps the nectar in the feeder and makes it harder for the bees to enjoy themselves. I have both the 8 oz and 16oz models and can say both my humming birds and myself enjoy it much more than my older feeders.

I purchased the Hummzinger Excel because we were having a problem with bees getting in the feeder we had. I bought a feeder with bee guards on it, but the bees were still able to push through the bee guards and get the hummingbird food. The bees can't get to the hummingbird food with the Excel, so they haven't been around. The only con with the Excel is it only holds 16 oz of food. I wish it held a little more because we have a lot of hummingbirds, and I sometimes have to fill it every day. Other than that, it's working great.
