I choose glass and metal products and that fit the bill. Top feed opening is great. Easy to wash. I usually don't fill it all the way full because I want to keep clean and fresh. (I wash more often and sugar water doesn't get nasty. I always use my ant motes and neem oil on the hanger to keep ants from climbing onto the feeder.) The hummers use it regularly with no issues.The product works perfect.
Leaks non stop.

Leaks non stop. Have cleaned it, ensured a tight seal. Fluid just pours out. Poor design.

We are sorry to hear that! For best results, we recommend hanging the feeder in the shade as well as out of high traffic or windy areas. This should help prevent the feeder from leaking. If not, we recommend contacting the original retailer for assistance with a refund.
One star for the feeder.

One star for the feeder. 5 stars for their customer service.
Cannot stop them from leaking. I’m on my second one. The company has been nice enough to replace them but this time I’m going back to a standard bottom fill. Those have been much more reliable.

It was lovely when new however now it is just another feeder. The lovely color lasted one summer and that was the main reason I bought this one.

Four months after getting it as a gift there is no color left on the glass. I have pictures from 1/1/23 in full color and from 4/14/23 with no color. The hummingbirds use it a little, but not as much as other Perky Pet feeders. This site won't let me attach the photos.

I've had this feeder about 3 years now and I still love it. It's easy to clean and looks beautiful where I have it in the dappled sun. The toughest part to clean is the float, but i just run a sponge underneath the rim and clean it each refill. The hummingbirds love it- I bought replacement petals for it this year with the perches and they had no problems adapting.
I was surprised to see all the poor reviews on it. Reading through them I realized it was more to do with user error and less to do with product quality.
It's recommended that you replace the nectar every few days or so, sometimes sooner in hotter weather. So if you're struggling with mold, you may not be replacing your nectar often enough, which can put the health of your birds at risk.
As for it leaking, it will out of the petals if I tip it more than 45 degrees, which is to be expected. I live in the country amongst open fields, so it gets quite windy. Once, it came off my shepherds hook. I thought it was broken, but I reassembled it and it works perfectly, albeit with a slight angle to the base.
The only cons for me is that the color does fade over time, and the gasket on the rim doesn't fit as tightly as it did year one, but otherwise I am more than happy with this feeder.
I hope this helps, and if you're having issues, don't give up and reach out to customer service. Most of these reviews sound like simple fixes or just improper usage.
No birds

I received this feeder as a gift for Mother’s Day from my son and daughter-in-law. It has been hanging by my other feeders for 4 days. I have not seen any birds paying the slightest interest in it. I am dreading being asked about it because I know the gift givers will be as disappointed as I am.

We're sorry to hear about that! Birds are creatures of habit and can take some time to adjust to a new feeder. You may want to try relocating the feeder to another area in your yard. We also suggest temporarily removing any established feeders until this new one is being utilized.

I love the look of this feeder but it leaks. I have tried to figure put how to stop the leaks but not sure how.
not worth the investment

i was so happy to buy a top filling feeder! but boy does this disappoint. the first few times i filled it, it leaked from the 'flowers'. then two times ago, it seemed to stop allowing the feed to come through the 'drain' and fill up the base. after working to make sure water could flow through, the last time i filled it it leaked sugar water everywhere! i ended up taking it down as so much had leaked out i didn't want to attract ants, etc in the area. so very disappointed as this was not a cheap feeder:(

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We are sorry to hear that your feeder is leaking. When filling a feeder, it is important to ensure that the base and bottle are tightened so they are snug. We also suggest hanging the feeder in a shaded location, free of wind and direct sunlight. As the sun warms up the nectar inside the bottle, the liquid will expand, which can cause some to leak. If the area is overly windy, the feeder will tilt, disrupting the vacuum inside the feeder, allowing the nectar to pour out. It is covered under a one year replacement policy. Reach out to us directly with any questions.
Bought on Amazon.

Bought on Amazon. Worked great for the summer, now leeks non stop. Seal is good and bottle attached properly. It’s pretty trash ????
