nectar, which simulates natural nectar found in flowers.
Cleaning: Dirty feeders spread disease. We recommend disinfecting your nectar feeders every
three to five days, or more frequently if you notice your nectar has become cloudy. Do not put your feeder in the
dishwasher as the high temperatures can permanently damage the feeder parts. Soak all parts in a 50/50 solution of
white vinegar and water. Use a bird feeder brush to brush away grime inside the feeder.
Agree with everyone re the flower/purple access. I've had this one for a year. Now only two ports still have the flowers intact and I've plugged the holes with cork. Not pretty. And for the price of the feeder? Not good. Product managers, get with it!!
We're sorry to hear that! It is good to know that the feeder is covered under a 1-year replacement policy. Please give us a call at 800-352-9164 for assistance.

I cannot recommend this Hummingbird feeder since it has several inherent flaws in its design.
The first issue is that the bottom plastic reservoir is very wide. I've had to struggle multiple times to loosen it if I had tightened it last time I filled it. I am normally the "go to" person my wife asks to open tight jar lids but this has been quite a challenge. It is very difficult to grab since it is so big in diameter. I've since learned not to tighten it much after filling it.
The secondary problem is that after a significant rainstorm - the rain runs down the glass and goes directly into the reservoir. This essentially waterlogs the nectar and the birds refuse to feed from it. So every time it rains hard you need to empty it out and refill it. There should have been some sort of gasket included to prevent this from happening.
We appreciate your feedback regarding this feeder and have shared your comments with our Product Managers. Please feel free to contact us at 800-352-9164 with any questions, we're happy to help.

I have four of these, They require refills from 3 to 7 days. The best thing I like about them is the clear bottoms, where you can determine how much is left. Make sure you clean the ports, as they can get coated with the syrup. These are without a doubt the best feeders I have ever used.
Love the size and that the bottle is glass, but the purple rubber gaskets that hold the plastic flowers on deteriorate within the first year. Big waste of money because of defective parts.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear that this happened to your feeder. Replacement ports are not available for these feeders. They have a one year replacement policy. Please feel free to reach out to us via the Contact Us page for assistance.

No replacement feeder ports

We actually really like this hummingbird feeder. It only gets 4 stars because there is no way to replace the soft purple (rubber) feeding port. This is the second season we are using this feeder and the purple ports are completely broken down. Many other brands sell replacement parts, why not More Birds? What I like about this feeder is that it is glass, very durable (we have no problems with anything breaking or being hard to open) and very easy to clean. If we can't get replacement ports, we will buy a new feeder next season made by a company that actually sells replacement parts. What a waste that we can't keep using this great feeder.
We have a Big Gulp hummingbird feeder and it has been extremely hard to unscrew the glass bottle from the base. Today, the glass bottle actually broke off in the base. My wife sliced her finger pretty bad. I do not recommend buying this bird feeder because it is dangerous. My daughter has the same model, 41IN, and is having the same problem.
Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear about this experience and have shared these concerns with our Product Managers. The feeder is backed by a 30 day return period and a one year replacement policy. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page for assistance.

I love the Big Gulp! I have 5 feeders in my backyard.
Is there anyway you can make the parts available for purchase? Sometimes the base sticks, maybe from the sugar solution. The constant on and off, causes fractures in the clear bottom, eventually chunks of the clear bottom break off, breaking the seal.
Please sell the replacement parts.
Would be a 5 but I can’t find replacement parts for piece that holds nectar and piece with flowers and holes. Otherwise I love them. Have 2; need parts. Thank you!
Big Gulp feeder is great but base can only feed 5 birds....

The recent "upgrade" to the red base on the Big Gulp feeder is the dumbest thing ever. The previous incarnation had 7 perches and 7 flower feeding ports. The new one has a 360 degree perch all the way around, but the number of feeding ports has been REDUCED from 7 to 5. So more birds can fit round the feeder but less can actually feed. Absolutely stupid. I solved the problem by drilling 5 extra holes in the base and sticking a replacement flower in each one, so now my base has a 360 perch and ten feeding ports, which is double the capacity of this new one sold here.
The wide mouth on this series is wonderful for filling and cleaning. When you have over 30 birds trying to feed at the same time, they consume incredible amounts of nectar, so multiple feeders (now 5) that are easy to clean and refill make the job much more enjoyable.
Where is the link to the replacement parts? The purple silicone flower centers has rotted away.
