Feeder Leaks

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 you’re able to enjoy your feeder soon.
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.

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.

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.

inferior plastic tops

Jun 14, 2026
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.
Waste of money!

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.
Never buy again.

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 ...

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 ...not American

Aug 26, 2025
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.
