The clear Hummingbird Paradise lantern feeder is well made, easy to use, and looks great in a tree or on the back patio. Made of redwood, brass, and etched glass, this tropical, fun feeder uses three copper-colored flowers to attract brilliant hummers. Because the wide base gives the birds plenty of room to land, you can hang the feeder just about anywhere. Filling the feeder is easy: simply flip it over, pop off the base, pour in a sugar solution (directions included), and quickly flip it back. Removing the base requires a bit of force, and you have to be careful not to damage the flowers when you grip, but, overall, this is a very solid, long-lasting feeder.

Just so's everyone's clear - THE GLASS IS RED to attract the hummingbirds. You do NOT add food coloring to the nectar recipe which causes health problems in the hummers. This is important. This is another piece of art for the backyard. We have several items from Schrodt Designs in use in the backyard and have received "oohs" and "ahhs" from guests on them. They are beautifully crafted. We hung this outside our dining room window. At (our) mealtimes we enjoy watching the energetic little birds. And maybe they are amused by watching us!

This item makes a wonderful gift. The red glass is perfect since you can make your own clear nectar to add in it. (Take 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, add a 1/2 cup of white granulated sugar, boil for 2-3 min. and cool)
No yellow flowers on this one to draw bees. Cleans with a narrow bottle brush you can buy. Beautiful craftsmanship on the feeder and the hummers love it!!
The red color feeders are the best ones and I like glass best of all. This one is just pretty to look at in a garden. I have mine on a 5' shepherds' crook planthanger close by a window. The etched glasswork really makes for an eyecatching feeder.
