Our older one is great!
Jul 9, 2024
we have an older one of these, and it has been the local favorite (with the hummingbirds) for years. It's not the only feeder, but it's the first one out, and always kept in rotation. We like that it comes apart for cleaning, and that nice little ant moat.
We've probably replaced the feeder ports a couple of times, and it still holds together well, but it's showing some signs of age and getting harder to keep as clean as a hummer feeder needs to be. Glad they've kept this model around.

Was given this as a gift and cannot get it to stop leaking. I have used Perky Pet Hummingbird feeders for years and was excited to get a larger one with a top fill. Unfortunately with the constant leaking I can't use it and can't return it since it was a gift.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We are sorry to hear that your feeder is leaking. When filling a feeder, it is important to ensure that the base and bottle are tightened so they are snug. We also suggest hanging the feeder in a shaded location, free of wind and direct sunlight. As the sun warms up the nectar inside the bottle, the liquid will expand, which can cause some to leak. If the area is overly windy, the feeder will tilt, disrupting the vacuum inside the feeder, allowing the nectar to pour out.
If these tips don't resolve the leaking, it can be replaced within our one year replacement policy. Reach out to us via the Contact Us page for assistance.

We are 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. If the feeder still continues to leak, you may contact the original retailer for assistance with a refund.
Leaks, leaks, leaks.

Not only does it leak (I finally fixed that) it hasn't attracted any birds. I have had previous models of Perky Pet and they worked great in the same location. Very disappointed.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear about this experience. 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. Birds are creatures of habit and can take some time to adjust to a new feeder. You may want to try relocating the feeder to another area in your yard. Please feel free to give us a call at 855-737-5973 for further assistance. We're happy to help!

I bought this product 1 week ago. It has done nothing but leak from the beginning. Would not recommend this hummingbird feeder to anyone.

Just bought this at my local ACE hardware, have always purchased Perky Pet feeders in the past. I cannot get this feeder to stop leaking from where the two bottom parts meet. I have taken apart and re-assembled many times. Can I get another model to replace it?

While on vacation in Colorado, I purchased this feeder at Country Ace Hardware in Granby. This feeder has a flawed design. Any movement at all causes it to leak. The lower cup that holds the liquid literally fills to the brim. Your suggestion in other reviews to keep it out of the sun and wind are impractical. I plan to return it today and caution Country Ace about this product.
Zero Stars
Jun 4, 2022
If I could give this ZERO stars I would. On it's second fill it leaked at the bottom seam and made it useless. No amount of assembling and reassembling could keep it from pouring out. I'm disappointed in Perky Pet Hummingbird Feeders for the second time. My last of a different style was difficult to clean and the bee guards won't stay in place. I'm not sure I'll be purchasing one from this company again.

I bought this product from a local hardware store. It is dripping just by hanging on the tree even without winds. The product advertisement says "No Spill". What a joke!
