HummZinger Fancy Fuchsia

I purchased a couple of the 12 oz "Fancy Fuchsia" Hummzingers and had them deployed in my hummingbird garden within minutes of arriving off the truck. They were to replace a couple "Perky Pet" feeders, one of which held 32 oz of liquid, which was a waste and rather ugly to boot. I won't ever buy another feeder that holds more than 12 oz--in order to keep the sugar water fresh you need to change it every 2-4 days anyhow, so why have all that excess spoiling in the sun?

I was concerned that the hummers would not accept the new feeder, but in the first few hours after installing it, the new feeder has already had plenty of business, with visiting hummers often sampling two of the ports before fluttering off in pursuit of nectar or insects. At first the hummers looked confused, but they've already figure it out, and it's only been about three hours.

I especially like the color of the fancy fuchsia feeders--the color sets off the red, white, blue, and purple...Read more

I've had one of these for about 2 years and just bought a second one because I want another feeder. Its so easy to clean compared to others I've had and popular with the hummingbirds. I'm getting a second one so they don't have to argue so much about who it belongs to. You have to keep the ant trap full of water for best effect but it definitely slows them down. I don't think anything is fool proof for ants. It holds enough sugar water so that I don't have to refill it constantly but not so much that I have to throw much out (during peak season) to keep it fresh. And I love the fuchsia color instead of the usual orangey colors feeders usually come in. Easy to assemble and stays on the hook despite the wind. Highly recommended!

This is a super easy humming bird feeder to clean! One of my pet peeves about the majority of feeders is that they are so difficult to really clean without all sorts of brushes, tooth picks, etc. I LOVE that my humming birds can actually perch while they feed! It's such a joy to see them sit and eat! The one downside to this one, is the ants. I didn't purchase the mesh that was an option as I don't have an issue with ants on my feeders. I did, however, have an issue with this one! I put it on my shepherd's hook where my other one was and within hours, I had big black ants all over it, in it...you name it. I decided to move this feeder to under my farmer's porch (right on the edge where I would normally hang a plant) and I've had no trouble with ants since and it's been there all season! So I guess location is everything!
