The Perky-Pet® Beaded Copper Finish Hummingbird Swing is an elegant addition to your array of hummingbird accessories. Simply hang near your feeders or close to nectar-producing flowers and soon you’ll see the little dynamos making use of it.
Hummingbirds will use the perch to wait for an opening at your feeder and flowers or to take a break after they’ve had their fill of nectar. It’s also good to position one of these perches near water sources too, since birds of different species will often avoid congregating in bird baths at the same time.
The perch, which measures about 5 inches wide and close to 7.25 inches tall isn’t just for hummingbirds either. Any bird will be happy to use it for a resting spot since it provides an unobstructed view in all directions.
For photographers, the perch also provides an opportunity for picture-taking! Birds are likely to remain on the Beaded Copper Hummingbird Perch for a minute or two, and that means they will be sure to strike just the right pose!
Hummingbirds Prefer:
Perches and feeding stations out in the open to watch for danger
Clean feeders filled with fresh nectar
Nearby sources of water to drink and bathe in
100% sucrose solution nectar, which digests more like live flower nectar
My hummingbird swing is not out yet, as it did not come with a way to hang it, so have been looking for small to medium S hooks, that will work. Otherwise, I like it and hopefully someone will perch themself on it, when I get it hung up.
Thank you for your feedback! The purchase of the swing does not include the decorative hanger. Please feel free to contact us at 1-855-737-5973 with any questions.

Hummingbirds started using it immediately and is the perfect compliment to the nearby feeder.
The swing is super cute, but the hummingbirds never used it. I had it placed near their feeders, protected by plants. So I moved it to where my seed feeders are, and the finches love it! They are on it all of the time!
This is a cute and pretty perch of which I bought three, one for a friend and one for each of two houses I own. I gave the perch two stars because it is cute and pretty, otherwise for the several years I have owned the perches, I have only seen a hummingbird on it once. The hummingbirds would rather sit on a tree branch.
We're sorry to hear your hummers aren't fans of this perch! When resting, any bird prefers a protected location that does not leave them vulnerable to predators. For more information on best placement, please contact us directly at 855-737-5973. We're happy to help!

Bought 2. Have NEVER seen one hummer on it whether in WI or AZ. Attractive but don’t waste your $$ UNLESS your feeder is on a balcony or porch with no surrounding vegetation. It does hold up quite well. Just needs a dusting occasionally from lack of use LOL

Love it. It is the centerpiece of our yard. Provides a lot of photographic moments for us and a bit of rest for the hummingbirds. Great purchase
was not to sure about buying a 'hummingbird swing' after reading the reviews, but I did so I could get the free shipping. was a great investment for my yard, put the swing about foot away from feeder and gets used by different hum birds though out the day. it did take about 3-4 wks before they used it, but once one hum bird did they all starting using it. plan on buying one more..
