Parasol Pot de Crème Glass Hummingbird Feeder - Flame Red

 (2 customer reviews)

This feeder came today, and for the most part it is what I expected. It is relatively small (a plus IMO) and though you could fill it with abt. 1 C of nectar, 1/2 C would be enough for hummingbirds to get plenty, and there would be less waste. The feeder and the flowers are entirely glass and should be very easy to clean with a flexible brush. The flowers are separate pieces and lift out for better cleaning access as well. Also the color is intrinsic to the glass and not a coating that would flake or peel with time, another plus IMO. On the negative side, there are no perches, nor are there any gaskets between the flowers and the pot which could make leakage a problem. There is not much in the way of ant deterrence, but there are other ways to deal with that issue if it comes up, so I don't regard that as a big negative YMMV. Lastly, the color of flowers is a nice deep red, just the color one would hope for, but the body of the pot is definitely on the orange end of the spectrum...Read more

Made in Mexico. Have to clean every few days. Has a recipe for making your own sugar water. Advises against using red coloring.
