Make your outdoor living area even more inviting for your feathered visitors with this Perky-Petยฎ Planter Box Plastic Hummingbird Feeder. Perfectly sized for placing in hanging baskets, flowerbeds, and planter boxes, the feeder holds up to three ounces of nectar to provide your hungry guests with a sip on the fly. This feeder is a space-efficient solution when your landscaping efforts are limited because you don't have a garden area to work with. Strategically place these small hummingbird feeders all around your blooming flower garden using the included hanging rod. Bees can't steal the nectar because the feeder is equipped with a built-in bee guard that opens for easy cleaning.
Perfect For Small Spaces
Just because you don't have a yard doesn't mean you can't invite hummingbirds over! This Perky-Petยฎ Feeder is perfect for landscape-challenged birders since it's designed to fit in a planter box or a hanging basket. The handy hanging rod comes with your feeder, doing away with the need for a tree branch, pole, or wall-mount hardware. Just place the rod directly into your planter's soil, fill the bottle with three ounces of nectar, and get the hummer party started.
Bye-Bye, Bees!
Sweet-loving bees can't steal your hummingbird nectar because the built-in yellow bee guard blocks their efforts. The cage creates a barrier that thwarts bees, but hummingbirds have no trouble with. Just pull off and snap it open when it's time for a thorough cleaning to keep your hovering hummers healthy and happy.
Durable Design
Shatter-resistant plastic creates a strong and sturdy feeder bottle that holds up in outdoor weather conditions. The clear reservoir makes it easy for you to keep an eye on your hummingbird feeding station, ensuring your little friends always have a steady supply of nectar.
Easy to Clean
Hummingbirds prefer to visit fresh, clean feeding stations. To make that easier, this feeder disassembles for effortless cleaning. Easily separate the base and bottle. You can even remove and open the feeding port! Remember to clean your feeder at least once per week with a mild soap and water solution to prevent mildew buildup; clean more often in hot weather.

For those of you who are not happy with the product because it leaked ... there is a simple, easy solution: After filling the bottle with nectar, attach the red base cap first, THEN attach the yellow bee guard. The bee guard prevents (gets in the way of) the base cap from being tightened all the way, allowing the nectar to leak out. It works and the hummingbirds like it too! I have not had any problems with leaking since I reversed how to attach both items.

Bee guard poorly made

The hanging basket's yellow bee guard's mounting hole for the storage container's nipple is too large and keeps falling off. Unfortunately, one cannot find replacement bee guards to find one that might stay on.
When you find one where the bee guard is properly made, it works well.

The feeder is good . DO NOT like the fact that you cannot purchase bee guards for this feeder. Hopefully you can remedy this.

It actually only deserves 1/2 ...

It actually only deserves 1/2 a star - great idea, horrible and faulty design. It does NOTHING but leak. I've positioned it several different ways, and currently it's in one of my hanging pots....and leaks and leaks and leaks......I should just bring it in to salvage the small amount of juice left but I've wasted enough time on this product. So badly wanted this to work - should've read the reviews first. Very disappointed.

Wish all companies would STOP using YELLOW as the color for bee guards. It's one of the colors that hornets are attracted to and hornets-large and small- like my hummer feeders. I've started to color over the bee guards with red nail polish. After on and off of the bee guard it becomes a little loose so I wrap small piece of tape around the 'male' part. Really like this small feeder though. It's easy to change the liquid so it doesn't spoil without wasting much when it's real hot out or there aren't many hummers.
OK, yes...it leaks. But that's an easy fix. Cut out a square of a plastic sandwich bag and put it between the base and the body before screwing it on. Makes a very simple and effective gasket. I usually snap the top of the bee guard off and only put it back on if bees become a problem. I keep the base of the bee guard on to give the birds a yellow target. And I just use a twist tie to hang it on a shepherds hook.
This thing is the least expensive feeder out there. And it holds 4 Oz of water. That's perfect for my situation. I only ever get one or two birds each summer. It lasts long enough that by the time it's drained down, it was time to clean it out anyway, without wasting any. And speaking of cleaning...this model is ridiculously easy to keep clean. Jam a wet soapy paper towel in there, give it a few turns. Do the same for the base. The port is a bit tougher but it's not too bad. I've never tried to run it thru the dish washer. For my needs, this one is just the thing.

Solved the leaking problem!

Solved the leaking problem! It leaked immediately after hanging, but I was curious as to why. Filled it with clear water and set it on a counter on top of a paper towel. Noticed that the leak was coming from the screw cap. Two or so wraps of 1/2 inch wide plumbers tape around the threaded end of the container formed a watertight seal. So far so good. Might have to replace the tape after cleaning and before refilling, but we'll see. It's an easy fix even if I have to do it often.
