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.

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! : ( :( :( : (

Purchased the pinch waist hummingbird feeder a month ago and it is leaking around the arm where it connects to the base. Any suggestions on how to stop leak, I have checked everything.

Thank you very much for contacting us.
We’re sorry to hear your pinch waist hummingbird feeder is leaking. To help resolve the issue, please make sure that all parts are properly and securely assembled. Check that the flowers are correctly positioned and firmly in place, as a loose flower can cause leaks. Also, ensure that the base and the reservoir are tightly connected with no cross-threading.

Hi, thank you for reaching us. You can buy nectar (ready to use or concentrate) or make your own. If you want to make nectar, just mix 4 parts water to one part sugar. Heat the mixture to melt the sugar, but don't boil. Then cool completely before adding to the feeder.

After cleaning each of the parts of the pinch waist feeder, what is the trick to get the yellow bee guard to go back into the red flower and stay in? I keep trying and pushing, looking for any kind of indication that one area should go in first to help snap it in, anything, but to no avail. They just fall right back out.
Question by: J Pauli on Jun 22, 2025, 2:00 PM
Hi, thank you for reaching us. There is no specific indication about how to do it, just push them until the bee guards are secure in place.

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.

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.

I bought a new hummingbird feeder, red with yellow flowers, brought it home, filled it, hung it up and noticed that the air bubbles were not working and I had to tip it one way or another so their flow was there. Took it back and got another one with white flowers, same thing. What have I done wrong. Popular pinch-waist model. I have had your model for years and always worked.
