Perky-Pet® Red Hobnail Vintage Glass Hummingbird Feeder
You will love how beautiful the Perky-Pet® Red Hobnail Vintage Glass Hummingbird Feeder will look hanging in your backyard. The red glass bottle of this hummingbird feeder features antique hobnail details that are reminiscent of high-end glassware from the early 1900’s. It has a subtle luster finish that lightly shimmers when hanging in the sunlight.
16 oz Capacity & 4 Feeding Ports – Hummingbirds will be attracted to the 4 red flower feeding ports on the brushed copper base of this hummingbird feeder. With a 16 oz nectar capacity, your hummingbirds will always be well fed. Easily hang this feeder wherever you choose with the attached metal hanging hook.
Easy to Use Wide Mouth Opening – The wide mouth opening makes filling quick and convenient. The glass bottle and base detach when it’s time to be washed, and with enough room to reach in all the tight spaces, cleaning is a breeze! We recommend cleaning your hummingbird feeders at least twice a week, and more often in hot and humid climates.
Received this beautiful feeder for Motherโs Day last year. The feeder part rusted out and there was a metallic smell coming from it which I also assume was in the nectar. Stopped using and am very disappointed with the product.
Thank you for this feedback. We're sorry to see that this happened to your feeder. It has a one year replacement policy.

I love the way this feeder looks, but the inside of the base rusted out almost immediately. I was really disappointed. I know that rust in your feeders can cause great harm and death in hummingbirds, so I was unable to use it after only a few weeks.

This feeder rusted out, nearly immediately. The birds clearly don't prefer it, it'll be nearly full when the others are empty. I originally landed on this site to find out why my top-fill feeder was leaking so bad, only to discover all the feeders I own (bought at Ace Hardware) are all by Perky Pet. Now it occurs to me that the only reason this feeder is still full is because it's the only perky pet feeder I own that doesn't leak.

Pictures dont do it justice...So beautiful in person and the hummingbirds love it!
Unlike my other feeder (in a different model) this one rusted visibly within two months of purchase. Even before it rusted the base gave off a pronounced metal smell (can't place it, tin perhaps?). This worries me, as I know that hummingbirds have very sensitive stomachs and even traces of foreign elements (e.g. iron) can hurt them. Could this be leeching something awful into the nectar? I'm going to discontinue its use, unless I can get hold of a different base. Also the applique flowers are peeling already!

Metal base rusts in 1-1/2 Months

Rusty in less than 1-1/2 mos. Hummingbirds seem to avoid it after that. This is the second type feeder I've purchased that had a metal base. Both rusted in short order. I do not recommend this item unless it is modified to include a plastic or glass base that will not rust.

This elegant vintage feeder enhances the beauty of my garden and attracts a variety of hummingbirds. The hobnail design and luster finish are all the more striking when reflecting sunlight, particularly in the morning. The wide mouth of the glass bottle make cleaning and refilling easy and convenient. The bottle and base form a tight seal and prevent problems with leaking. Also, the lid with the feeding ports seems to click into place when put back on the bottom of the base. This feature makes the process of reattaching the base to the bottle a breeze. One caution with this particular feeder is that some of the ports on the base have developed some rust. I own several of the hobnail feeders, and only two have shown any signs of rust around the ports. I clean the feeders every other day. We have experienced high temperatures and humidity this summer, which may have contributed to the rust problem. I don’t know why only two of the hobnail feeders have signs of rust and the others do not. Also, I own several other Perky Pet vintage glass bottle feeders and none of those show any signs of rust. I no longer use the two feeders with the rusting ports; which was slight, by the way. Despite the rust, and because it has occurred on only two of the feeders, I still recommend the hobnail feeder and give it a 5-star rating.
Thought the quality was excellent. Nice to have something made out of glass and metal instead of plastic. I believe it would look better and more balanced if it had a tin or copper cap at the top of the red glass container.
I get so much joy from the look of this feeder, as well as, watching the birds enjoy it's sweetness. It beautiful and glistens nicely in the sun. Definitely a keeper and I bought 2 extra for future gifts.
We have had no luck attracting hummingbirds this summer. Had not seen any in flight or on our neighbors' feeders. Purchased two of the red hobnail feeders to replace our existing feeders. After hanging the feeders the first time and returning indoors, in less than two minutes had hummers on the new feeders! Crazy!
