Reviews for Perky-Pet® Crystal Top-Fill Glass Hummingbird Feeder - 28 oz

This feeder is, by far, the best one I have ever owned. I have 12 of them! I have a ridiculous number of hummingbirds feeding on my property, so I need to clean and fill my feeders daily. This feeder is a top filler, so super easy to fill and the wide top makes it easy to clean. I love that it has 5 feeding stations with perches. My hummingbirds seem to enjoy being able to give their wings a rest while they feed. I would be so sad if this feeder were discontinued.

This will be my second year with this feeder, and it is, without question, the best feeder I've ever had and used. And this is after so many years of so many different types of feeders. As complicated as I first thought it to be, I really love the way it assembles and disassembles. Hangs up and stays steady, doesn't leak a drop. The ports and perches are the best I've ever found. Not only do the hummers love the feeder flowers, they also love to just sit on the perches. No way will I ever want to change feeders again. This is the best.

In the well stocked section at the plant nursery I spent a long time searching for the perfect hummingbird feeder. This Perfect-Pet Crystal feeder seemed to be the one. Easy to fill, red flowers with perches, glass for sanitation, and easy to clean. It sounded perfect according to the attached literature! Upon getting it home and preparing to clean it for the first fill it became a huge disappointment and then a disaster! Try as we might there was no way we could get the base open for cleaning. We removed the flowers w/perches, still no luck in getting the base apart for cleaning. In the process, the Crystal glass fell over on the counter and part of the top rim shattered into a hundred tiny pieces. My husband filed the sharp edges down and the cap still fit, so we hoped to salvage it all. So I came to this site hoping for info on getting the base apart. No luck, no answers. Just reviews from people having the same problem. Then, after reading about the leaking issues we finally gave up and the whole expensive feeder will have to go in the trash. Hugely disappointed in Perky-Pet!!!

These feeders DO NOT LEAK. If yours is leaking it was assembled incorrectly and is SIMPLE TO FIX... It's not defective or broken. When you cleaned it, you inadvertently put it back together with the round foam-disc upside down (or it came that way from the factory). Look at photo #7 to see a cut-away view of the foam- disc I am referencing. This foam-disc sits under the round plastic part that is threaded to receive the neck of the glass reservoir (identifiable by the donut-shaped red silicone washer inserted into it). When the threaded part is pulled upwards, it unsnaps to give access to the foam-disc (for cleaning). There is a RED silicone rubber plug in the center of the round foam-disc. On one side of the disc that plug looks like a small nipple (only a few millimeters wide). On the other side, the plug is flat and wider in diameter (approximately 7-10 mm wide). When you reassemble the feeder, you MUST orient the foam disc so that the larger, flat, 7-10 mm side of the red-plug (at the center of the foam-disc) is facing UP. If you have the foam disc oriented so that the smaller red nipple side is facing up, the feeder will leak all of its contents out of the holes in the center of the flowers. I have been using 4 of these feeders for 5 years now and they have worked flawlessly (except for the one time I inadvertently reassembled one with the foam-disc upside down).

I have this one with red glass. I love how easy it is to fill and clean. I have had no problems with leaks. It's very secure.

The best!! Easy to fill, easy to clean, no spills, no leaks!! I bought it at my local Ace Hardware store, I thought it was a bit expensive at first glance, but it has been so worth it! We love the clear glass so you can see if there are birds on all sides.

Yes, you do need to insure the base is firmly attached to the glass, but when that is right, these feeders don't leak. I am replacing several other feeders that i cannot get leak-proof with these.

Bought this at the end of the summer in2022 and filled it today and it leaked out everywhere around the flowers. What a mess!

This feeder leaks all the fluid out

I like the ease of filling but it seems no matter how tightly I screw the glass to bottom the thing leaks through the flowers! Leaked nearly a full container in less than a day
