Perky-Pet® Pinch-Waist Feeder is Our Most Iconic Feeder
Hummingbirds are a fan favorite among birders. With our Perky-Pet® Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder, you can easily attract these iridescent beauties to your yard. Itโs the classic design that you know and love with a few great updates. The new and improved wide-mouth bottle and simple disassembly makes cleaning easier than ever before. Meanwhile, the attention-catching color and 8 oz nectar capacity are irresistible to hummers. Find the best seat in your house now, because hummingbirds are sure to be on their way!
Clear, Wide-Mouth Bottle for Easy Filling
Filling your feeder doesnโt have to be messy and frustrating. Thatโs why weโve designed the Pinch-Waist Hummingbird Feeder with a convenient wide-mouth bottle. It makes filling easier, resulting in fewer spills as you pour nectar. Plus, the crystal-clear glass allows you to monitor nectar levels at a glance.
Accommodates Multiple Birds
Complete with four flower-shaped ports and comfortable perches, the Perky-Pet® Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder will easily accommodate multiple hummingbirds at the same time. With the bright red color, it makes an absolutely irresistible combination to attract hummers.
Keep Out Insects
Insects are often a source of frustration at hummingbird feeders. Fortunately, our built-in bee guards and ant moat provide an effective line of defense against these unwanted pests. The bee guards keep bees at bay, while hummingbirds can still easily access the nectar. To keep ants away, fill the top of the lid with water to create a barrier that prevents them from crawling down to the ports.
Comes Apart for Thorough Cleaning
Hummingbirds prefer to visit fresh, clean feeding stations. To make that easier, this feeder disassembles completely for effortless cleaning. Remove the ant moat, base and bottle with ease โ even the built-in bee guards come apart! In addition, the wide-mouth design allows you to access hard-to-reach spots of the bottle. Remember to clean your feeder at least once per week with a mild soap and water solution to prevent mildew buildup.
How to Clean the Pinch-Waist Hummingbird Feeder
Watch this video and see for yourself just how easy it is to keep the Perky-Pet® Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder looking sparkling clean. Your hummingbirds will thank you for your efforts!
โI LOVE THIS FEEDER! I replaced the old style of this feeder for this updated style and I'm so glad I did! The wider opening allows for cleaning with a regular bottlebrush (the old style had a narrow neck and was difficult to clean) and the bee guards that open for cleaning are great. I like the size of this feeder because the birds eat the nectar so quickly it makes sure I am cleaning them every few days, which prevents the mold that is harmful to the hummers."

Love the pinch waist feeder for size and shape, birds like it due to the flowers and perch. However; the plastic bottoms spilt, and leak making the feeder, useless. I have been buying these feeders for several years and had brand new feeders spilt within the first couple of fillings. I am well aware of the defective plastic, and therefore I am always very gentle and careful with screwing on the base.
Your cheap plastic and continuing failure to change or improve this product, is going to put you out of business.
Thank you for the honest feedback, and we're glad the size, shape, and flower ports are working well for the hummingbirds. We're sorry to hear about the recurring cracking and leaking at the base, and it sounds like you're already doing the right things, hand-tightening rather than overtightening and handling the pieces gently, so this isn't a case of installation error. To help reduce stress on the plastic threads going forward, make sure the bottle neck threads line up evenly before tightening, and hang the feeder out of direct sun and high wind, since heat and movement can accelerate cracking in that base connection over time. We've also shared your feedback on the plastic durability with our product team, as recurring reports like yours are what drive design improvements.

I give it one star ...

I give it one star only because the hummingbirds love it, but this is the fourth one that we have and every one leaks.
Weโre glad to hear the hummingbirds love the Perky-Petยฎ Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder, and weโre sorry to hear about the leaking. To help prevent leaks, make sure the feeder is assembled securely and that the gasket and base are properly seated before filling. Avoid overfilling and keep the feeder upright when hanging. If the feeder continues to leak, checking that the gasket is clean and free of debris can also help create a proper seal. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope these tips help you enjoy the feeder with your hummingbirds.

Ant moat hoop is faulty needs to be thicker.

Aug 31, 2026
Glass bottle and below parts outlast the ant moat. The ant moat hook loop is the first thing that fails. Plus you can't get a replacement ant moat. So you have to order a whole new feeder.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Weโre sorry to hear that the ant moat hook loop did not hold up as expected, and understand how frustrating it is when the rest of the feeder remains in good condition.
Your comments regarding the durability of the ant moat and the availability of replacement parts will be shared with the appropriate team for review and consideration.
Thank you again for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to improve our products and customer experience.

Poor 'updated' design and build quality
1
Aug 21, 2026
The 'updated' design and build is poor. The plastic red-color fades quickly and it doesnt take long before either the top hanging plastic part breaks or the bottom cracks and leaks, no matter how gentle you are with it. It's like we went back to the 80's when all of the cheap Chinese garbage that broke right away was flooding the market.
Please bring back your old design using the the proper plastic that will handle sun exposure.
Weโre sorry to hear about your experience with the updated hummingbird feeder. We understand how disappointing it is when a feeder fades, cracks, or breaks sooner than expected, especially when youโve handled it carefully.
We appreciate you taking the time to share these specific concerns. Feedback about the durability of the plastic, color fading, and the hanging and base components is important to us and will be shared with our product team for consideration.
Weโre sorry the updated design did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding the previous design and materials.

After a while <1 year the top ring portion that the hook hangs from breaks. Canโt buy just that part.
Weโre sorry to hear the top ring on your Perky-Petยฎ Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder broke. The hanging ring is not available as a separate replacement part for this feeder. We recommend checking that the feeder is securely supported and avoiding excessive weight or force on the hanging ring when installing or removing it. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will pass your feedback along to our product team.

Great concept but took awhile

Great concept but took awhile to get it skit didnโt leak much. Then the base started cracking and it started leaking again. Feedback was that they would give me 15% offa new one. Should have read all the other reviews with the same problems. Was going to get a new one, but Iโm not wasting my time or money again. I hopefully can find a better one e somewhere else.
Weโre sorry to hear about the leaking and cracking you experienced with your Perky-Petยฎ Pinch-Waist Glass Hummingbird Feeder. We understand how frustrating it is to have the feeder begin leaking again after the base developed a crack. We appreciate you sharing this feedback and will pass your comments along to our team.

Feeder Leaks
1
Jun 29, 2026
This would be a 5 start humming bird feeder if it didn't leak. I cannot figure out why it leaks.
Thank you for your feedback and for your positive comments about the hummingbird feeder. We're glad to hear you like the feeder, but we're sorry to hear you are experiencing leaking.
Leaking can sometimes occur if the feeder is not fully assembled, the ports or seals are not seated properly, or the reservoir is overfilled. We recommend checking that all components are firmly pressed into place and that the feeder is positioned upright and level when filled.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact us at 855-737-5973 for further assistance. The feeder is backed by a 1-year warranty, and we would be happy to help determine the best solution.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope youโre able to enjoy your feeder soon.

When you clean the bottom ...

Jun 23, 2026
When you clean the bottom where the yellow flowers are you canโt get them back together. So I have the jar but no bottom for it. They need to make replacement bottoms with the flowers on them.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had trouble reassembling your feeder after cleaning.
The yellow flowers and bee guards are designed to be removable for cleaning and can be put back in place by pressing them firmly into their openings until they are securely seated. If they're not lining up easily, make sure each piece is oriented correctly before pressing it back into place.
We appreciate your suggestion about offering replacement bottoms and will be sure to share your feedback with our product team.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience.

Dripping unit.

Jun 21, 2026
Purchased new. Filled halfway as per suggestion. Put it up and it started slow dripping. Took it down to clean and put it back together. Up it went and still Dripps. Left it up on my deck as I enjoyed a pair of squirrels lick the deck clean enjoying the sweet nectar. When it empties it is trash bound.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your hummingbird feeder is leaking and has not performed as expected.
A continuous drip is not normal, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Please note that this feeder is covered by a 1-year warranty. We encourage you to contact our customer service team at 855-737-5973, so we can review the issue and assist with a warranty replacement if appropriate.
We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to help resolve this matter.

Hummingbird Favorite!

Jun 17, 2026
I've tried so many hummingbird feeders, and this is definitely a favorite. The hummingbirds really enjoy it over others. The yellow bee guards keep the wasps out, although they do hover around. I filled the top with vaseline to keep the ants out. Easy to clean and fill! It's always sold out at my local, big-box store.
Can I purchase replacement parts for the pinch waist feeder ?
Question by: Ron Ruberstell on May 22, 2023, 4:16โฏPM
Replacement parts are not available for this feeder. Your interest has been shared with our Product Managers.
Answer by: Kathryn Smythe (Admin) on May 23, 2023, 9:42โฏAM
The model of 8oz. Hummmingbird feeder #203CPBN has the glass body with the plastic feeding ports that I have purchased several over the years. Unfortunately, I have the continual problem with these plastic parts, they crack and leaking all the liquid out. Now I have many glass parts unusable without the plastic feeding station. So, PLEASE tell me and all others, WHY you do not simply sell replacement parts for this model? Other than greed, I find it very hard to understand why you, as a well established company, would not offer your customers the option to purchase plastic replacement parts for your products? You already mass produce your products, so it's not as if you had to redesign anything or take extra steps in your production line. PLEASE, PLEASE reconsider updating your process and help us senior consumers who are a fixed income and love to feed Hummingbirds, a better option than having the added burden to pay full price for a new one and have accumulated so many useful ones that ONLY need a plastic replacement part to be useful again! Would starting a petition help influence your management team? By the way, I have really tried my best to salvage my cracked ones with glue, tape and silicone but unfortunately nothing seems to work! : ( :( :( : (

Why are no replacement parts not available after YEARS of requests?? This feeder is excellent except for the bee guards that have failed after two seasons of gentle hand cleaning. Why are you not carrying replacement units as you do for the older model feeders with the "flush flowers"?
Question by: John Eckerson on Aug 29, 2025, 1:48โฏPM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. If you're looking for replacement bee guards for a model #203CPBN feeder, you can get the replacement bee guards model #205Y.

After coming back to this site and reading other questions and reviews it does seem like the cracking of the top and bottom pieces is a persistent issue. Unfortunate that you have not come up with replacement parts or product improvement. For such a systemtic and known problem, "sorry" does not seem adequate.
Question by: steve sanford on Aug 3, 2025, 2:47โฏPM
Thank you very much for contacting us. It would be our pleasure to assist you. We truly appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration regarding the recurring issue with cracking.We are committed to improving our products and your input is valuable in that process.

Hi Do you sell narrow mouth glass bottle hummingburg feeders? We have one left and have no leakage. The wide mouth don't control the water flow or something. I have used 2 feeders an older feeder (approx. 3 years old) and an newer (approx 2 yr old) and they leak terribly.
Question by: JoAnn Kroner on Jul 10, 2025, 3:00โฏPM
Hi, thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately, we do not sell any replacement parts for any of our feeders.
