Hummingbirds don't like bright yellow flowers.
Jun 5, 2024
The feeder is fantastic. The hummingbirds won't use it. I have two feeders of different kinds. The other feeder has red parts and red flowers. The hummers love that one and won't go to this Top Fill Grand Master feeder. They don't like the bright yellow flowers. I read to paint them with nail polish but I don't like that idea so I tried to dye them with food coloring. They came out a kind of orange color. Will put it back together and try this. Change the flowers to red and you a have a real winner.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're sorry to hear that this is happening to your feeder. If bees are swarming, we recommend to first check that the feeder is not leaking. Then, remove it for a few days so that the bees find a different food source. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page with any questions.

This is the third review I have done. I had success using up to a 1/2 cup of sugar solution (1/2 cup sugar and 4 cups of water blend), it did not leak from the flowers. Today I used a full cup of sugar and 4 cups of water solution, and it leaked badly from the flowers. I really like the feeder and so do the hummers. I will now only use up to a 1/2 cup of sugar and 4 cups of water solution. Not sure if the pressure of the added water affects internal pressure. I think the holes are at or below the reservoir allowing the solution to escape. I'll leave the 3 star rating.

I provided a review earlier giving it a 1 star. I've since taken it apart and put it back together with success. I will note I did not fill up full but after two batches of my solution (1 sugar to 4 water) it is working now. I used a 1/3 cup first then next used a 1/2 cup. Up next is a full cup. I like the big flowers and the birds like it 2 to 1. I'm up to 3 stars now. I did want to come back with a report.

This feeder leaks badly, coming out of the flowers. There have been several notes below as to this condition. Seems the flower opening is below the top of the reservoir allowing the solution to leak out. I tried to pull the flowers out a bit thinking it would get the flower above the reservoir but didn't help. Am I missing something?

We're sorry to hear that your feeder is leaking! Be sure to check that the base is tight, and that the bottle neck threads line up correctly to help prevent leaking. For best results, we recommend hanging the feeder in the shade as well as out of high traffic or windy areas.

Just purchased the feeder yesterday, filled and hung this morning. So disappointed as it is leaking from each of the flowers. About 3/4 empty from the leaking. Any suggestions? Thanks
Works great and zero leaks.

Works great and zero leaks. I live in North Texas and had seen an occasional hummingbird near my Trumpet vines so I thought I'd give this feeder a shot after watching a few YouTube vids. Hummingbirds were feeding from it within 2 hours. Love it!
These feeders leak!
Jul 15, 2022
I had the glas
s ones last yesr, but I broke one of them, so I thought that plastic would be safer. They don't break, but they leak terribly. I'm tired of getting up on a ladder to hang one from the house, and then sitting here and watching the syrup drip all day until it was empty at the end of the day. I still have one glass one. It never leaked, so I found 3 of the glass ones at 75% off at another retailer and am switching to 100% glass feeders.
DO NOT BUY.

DO NOT BUY. LEAKS ALL OVER AND PERKYPET WILL NOT REPLACE OR REFUND! HORRIBLE COMPANY AND POOR DESIGN AND NO QUALITY CONTROL./
