There are many aspects to consider when selecting a feeder, such as price, material, etc. Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure it is one that will be easy to clean and fill, especially since you will need to clean the feeder at least every few days.
2. If you are worried about bees and wasps or ants invading the feeder, purchase an oriole feeder with bee guards and/or an ant moat.
3. If aesthetics is high on your list, there are many decorative hummingbird feeders available.

Feeders may loosen during shipment. Before filling for the first time, tighten the bottle onto the base to ensure no leaking.

Hummingbirds don’t like to stay out in the open when they’re not feeding, so it’s best to place feeders within 10-15 feet of a tree, bush, or other protective cover. Also be sure to place your hummingbird feeder out of direct sunlight. Strong sun exposure can cause the nectar to spoil more quickly.

Hummingbirds will find your nectar feeder, although there are some steps you can take to help the tiny birds find it sooner. Tying a red ribbon on the feeder wire or pole will help them locate it. Another "tried and true" method is to plant flowers that attract hummingbirds adjacent to the feeder area. Placing a birdbath in your yard near the feeder may help attract them, after which they may also find the nectar in the feeder.

Perky-Pet^® Red Hummingbird Nectar uses an all-natural color formula, which may fade over an extended period. If you’ve noticed the color fading since you’ve filled your feeder, this is an indication that too much time has passed, and the nectar should be refreshed. All hummingbird feeders should be cleaned and refilled at least once per week, and more often in hot weather.

It is crucial to keep hummingbird feeders clean. Be sure to clean your feeder regularly, at least twice a week, using a solution of warm water and soap. Clean more often in hot weather as nectar can spoil more quickly.

It is recommended that you clean your hummingbird feeder at least twice a week.
