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. It’s 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 doesn’t have to be messy and frustrating. That’s why we’ve 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 – 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!
“I 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."

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.

When you clean the bottom ...

When you clean the bottom where the yellow flowers are you can’t 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.

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!

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.
Time will tell with my new purchase but I have a shelf full of glass bottle syrup holders with bright red feeder bottoms and faded pinkish tops that have broken hanger loops. It’s very obvious that the two plastic pieces are from different sources and weather at greatly different rates. Perky pet does not offer replacement tops as a service to their customers. I love these feeders but have grown tired of one poor part making the whole feeder unusable.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your loyalty to our hummingbird feeders and understand your frustration with the durability of the top component over time.
We are sorry to hear that the hanger loops on your feeders have broken and that the weathering of the plastic components has affected the appearance and usability of the feeders. We also understand how disappointing it is when a single damaged part can make an otherwise functional feeder unusable.
At this time, we do not offer replacement parts for our hummingbird feeders, including the top assemblies. We recognize that this may be inconvenient, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Feedback like yours is valuable and will be shared with our product team as they evaluate future product and service improvements.
Thank you again for your comments and for choosing our feeders.

I bought this along with the perky pet nectar.... Needles to say this does not work! I had to give a 1 star to to leave this review. But this is a BIG 0! Tried multiple things and it just leaks out. I found this to be a waste of money. Tried to take pictures of the feeder and the 16.1oz nectar, but it states it does not accept them
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced leaking issues with the feeder and understand how disappointing it is when a product does not perform as expected.
Hummingbird feeders operate using a vacuum seal, and leaking can occur if the feeder is overfilled, not fully tightened, damaged, or tipped during filling and installation. However, we understand that you've already tried multiple solutions and were unable to resolve the issue.
Please note that our hummingbird feeders are backed by a 1-year warranty. We'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and help determine whether the feeder may be defective. If so, we would be happy to assist with a replacement under warranty.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue to improve our products and customer experience.

Had one of these from 20 years ago until it finally broke. Bought 2 of the new style,easy clean. Will not buy another. It leaks and the bee guards just seem to attract bees.
I'm on my second one of these, same problem with the loop in the top that others have. The only good thing is I am able to rotate my two feeders, while one is hanging, the other is being cleaned. (Love the strap and paperclip idea that Nana posted, I will be trying it) The other problem is the bees. I've been researching and it turns out that bees are actually attracted to yellow. So why the HECK are the bee guards YELLOW?!?!?!? I understand that bee like the sun so you should hang your feeder in the shade, but I don't have any shade. I don't use the "flowers" cause they block my view of the birds, when they are able to get around the bees.
I’ve bought 10+ of these exact feeders in the past 3 years. They work great for nearly a month then the bottom cracks or they just leak without reason. I don’t over tighten the bottom. I just bought this one mid June and it’s already dripping several drops a minute. I won’t buy anymore of these. I bought this one and another brand at the same time, same amount of use- other brand holding up WAY better!!! Another thing I don’t like about these- the top fades SO quick!!
I could not hang my feeder because of the 1” long cheap hanging hook you hang the feeder onto your shepherd hook etc it’s incapable of holding the feeder securely so I will have to go back to the store to purchase. Very disappointed also seeing BOLDLY stating established 1958 so misleading me into thinking I am buying an American product which is false.
Can I purchase replacement parts for the pinch waist feeder ?
Question by: Ron Ruberstell on May 22, 2023, 4:16 PM
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, 9:42 AM
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, 1:48 PM
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.

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, 3:00 PM
Hi, thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately, we do not sell any replacement parts for any of our feeders.
