Comment: The metal ring that held the bottle in place has a tendency to sheer off paint when the bottle swings around on a windy day. In addition,I noticed paint coming off as well after it rained. I returned the bottle back to Amazon right away...Just a poor design and cheap product. I spent $25 on the "Avant Garden 8110-3 Looking Glass Hummingbird Feeder". Looks good from all the reviews.

Comment: Like other Sunset Vista feeders, this is built sturdier than the photo looks, it hangs at an angle, so it does not drip and draw ants. Also, it has only one spout, which is plenty, since hummingbirds do NOT dine together, are very territorial, and one spout discourages bigger birds, who just swing the feeder around and spill the nectar. (Thirsty birds WILL try!) The thick heavy glass decanter has enough weight, even when empty, to hold steady in the wind, giving hummers a long drink if they want, and it holds just one cup of nectar, which is just about right since the feeder must be taken down and cleaned weekly anyway. Hummingbirds do NOT share feeders knowingly, so if you have several, set out a few feeders out of sight of each other, AND out of the sun. A hummer will immediately attack and chase off any intruding hummer near "his" feeder, unless, of course, he doesn't see it, which is why you place them out of sight of each other.
