It is so disappointing to read through 3+ years’ worth of negative reviews on this website (and others) discussing the faulty design feature of the newer wide-mouth model. It is also insulting to see the copy/paste responses from the Perky Pet intern stating, “Sorry. We’ll take this feedback to our Product Managers.” That response may have been true back in 2016, however it’s now 2019 and nothing in the design has changed. It’s now obvious that even despite the high return rate and complaints, Perky Pet must still be turning a profit on this piece of garbage. There are no “product managers” reading these reviews. What a shame.

Appears to be a good humming bird feeder until you add food, it leaks like a screen door. The perches are angled too low and the food drips out of the feeder. The wide mouth is good and glass container. Purchased from our local Ace Hardware. Seems to be very few good humming bird feeders on the market, we have one similar but the perches are at a greater angle preventing food from dripping out. One out of 6 feeders that really work.

With all the bad reviews and comments why do you keep selling a bad design? Mine drips empty in 3 days.

Bought this pinch waist today as a to replace a feeder that finally fell apart. Followed every direction. Hung feeder in a shaded area half full, no wind. And watched the nectar drip outage “flowers” until it was below the glass plastic union. Looking on line to find my old feeder brand that worked beautifully.

Constant drips no matter how tight I make it.

Drips constantly, very poor design!

I really like my new Pinch waist Hummingbird feeder with the built in ant moat. This is going to really make a difference when it comes to keeping the ants off of my feeder. I like that this feeder has perches that the hummer can rest on, too! I am sure my hummingbird is going to love this feeder. It was great that my feeder came so quickly and was such a great deal because it was on sale and I got free shipping too! Thanks love your products and the way you stand behind them.

Have fed hummers for years here in Maryland successfully with the 'older' model of this feeder. Small opening to fill the liquid into, no ant moat, different flat-faced yellow bee guard than the new feeder. Recently purchased this model. The new yellow bee guards are dome-shaped. The new domed guards have let the local small pollinators in to drown. Very upsetting. What can be done? Thank you

The pinch waist feeder is my, (and the hummers) favorite . I wish you would make it in a quart size. I'm having a problem with bees getting inside the bee guards.

I've had my small mouth pinch-waist feeder for, probably, 5 years with excellent results in attracting numerous hummingbirds, sometimes 4 at a time. No leaks. Very pleased. This season it started leaking so bad that it drained the glass vial in less than a day. It was leaking from the bottom center where the screw holds the perch. When I took it apart, found that the the plastic threaded insert that holds the glass vial was broken. The threads came apart. It would seem that the perch could be glued to the base instead of screwed in place. All in all very happy. Can I buy just the parts.
