cheap painted glass with rusting 'copper' pipe,

This review is from: Red Cherries Hummingbird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)
It looks nice but...
- the feeding pipes are made from metal and appear to be copper but start to rust and seem to oxidize from the inside (i.e. when cleaning I get a lot of dark brown dirt out of them) - I wouldn't want to drink from it myself.
- the rubber part smells awful (like a car tire) and I am not sure if any chemicals get released into the water
- the glass is just painted red and the paint comes off if scrubbed
- the dripping seems to be much worse than my previous glass feeder
I had a red glass feeder before which worked better. The feeding pipe looks like the product photo here (transparent single plastic pipe with a red rubber cap). So I am really disappointed that the photo doesn't show the product and the function is not as promised (as I am probably poisoning the birds).

The necter drains out slowly no matter what I do. After a few days the existing necter gets rusty??? Not sure it's safe for the birds. It smells like rubber even though I have washed it several times.
Unfortunately, it's VERY cute but poorly designed.
Not what I Expected,

The size of the feeder was a lot smaller than I had hoped. Other than that I like it
