Master Craft Hand Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeder

 (10 customer reviews)

Update: Since my initial review in July I have purchased the feeder and it works fine and for the money is an excellent buy.

I see several folks have marked it down due to dripping I thought I'd comment as I had the same problem with 2 similar feeders until I did some research and discovered that with this type of feeder it is absolutely imperative that when you fill it initially you make sure it is COMPLETELY full. The concept works on a vacuum - if air is initially in the feeder than it will gradually force out the nectar. If it starts full - a vacuum is created as the birds withdraw nectar and it should not drip (unless of course the feeder itself is defective - different story!).

This is a beautiful work of art to hang in your garden. However, due to the hand-made irregulariy of the opening, the rubber stopper is extremely frustrating to keep in place; if it loosens, air goes into the feeder allowing all of your precious sugar water out. I used clear packing tape as a solution to keep the rubber stopper in place, and it's working perfectly.

In an effort to keep our feeders clean, I wash them regularly. When I washed this one, the red color started peeling off, since it is on the outer surface only. It still works, and hummingbirds are attracted to it and use it, but it drips excessively (as other reviewers have noted).
