I'm looking for different feeders this year
Mar 6, 2025
I've been buying the Perky-Pet large Our Best feeders for years. They used to last two or three seasons before the plastic top/bottom became unusable due to sun damage. A few years ago something must have changed in the plastic, they are now single season, one year and plastic is toast. And now the cost to order two of even the cheaper all plastic version is $40. Just fyi I'm looking for different feeders.
WAS WELL RECEIVED BY HUMMINGBIRDS,ENJOY WATCHING THEM,WHAT A BLESSING.

HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER
It leaks
Jun 1, 2022
I have the same problem as others here. The thing leaks. It is in the shade. There isn't any wind but it still leaks. Ambient temperature is in the lower 80's if that high. So what is the answer?
Excellent inventory of products to choose from!

Order of hummingbird feeders arrived timely and the quality was exactly what I expected. It's nice that the rail around the bottom is removeable.
Our hummingbirds love this feeder!

Our hummingbirds love this feeder! The red works better than the clear and I really like to 30 oz capacity. I have two and have no problem tightening it up. Don't overtighten but just really snug it up and it doesn't leak. Ordering two more. Highly recommend for pacific northwest.
Product is JUNK!!

We purchased two top fill feeders and both leaked. The product is JUNK. Not spending another dime on this product!!
Leaks
Jun 3, 2021
You cannot get a tight vacuum seal on the feeder so you have to redesign it. This feeder is unacceptable and leaks. It does not tighten no matter how hard you try. there is still a slit at the bottom that allows liquid to leak no matter how hard you tighten.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We apologize for this unusual experience with this feeder. 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 these tips don't resolve the leaking, we are happy to issue a replacement within one year of purchase. Reach out to us at 1-855-737-5973 for assistance.
Excellent feeder as long as the bears stay away
Jul 21, 2019
This is probably the best hummingbird feeder I have ever owned. However it does have a specific flaw which makes it unusable in my part of Downeast Maine. For some reason a bear has taken a liking to it and it regularly tears the perch from the feeder which makes it impossible to use. I will have to revert to a feeder with an integrated perch. The Hummers seem to use the perch with some regularity. Also. it pays to purchase directly from Perky Pet. Our local big box store sells them for 33% more
Don't buy this, no instructions, flimsy.

Never owned a hummingbird feeder before. This one gets 1 star because it has no instructions. I did figure out how to assemble it but nowhere dies it tell you how to fill it, mount it, clean it. It's getting returned.

Cleaning a lot easier
Mar 19, 2019
I love the idea it is easier to clean under the flowers, where I have not been able to get them very clean with out socking a long time. These feeders are so much easier to clean. Thank you very much.
