Bring a touch of elegance to your yard with the Perky-Pet Antique Bottle 16-ounce hummingbird feeder. The feeder owes its good looks to its red antique-style bottle, whose timeless accents look great in garden landscapes. Functionally, the feeder offers four decorative metal feeding ports that accommodate several hungry hummers at once.
The hummingbird feeder is a breeze to mount, with an attached metal hanger that connects to a tree branch or hook. The feeder is also easy to clean, with a base that comes apart and quickly reassembles for scrubbing with a brush. For best results, clean the hummingbird feeder with a mild soap and water solution at least twice a week, more often in very warm climates or seasons.
Attracting Hummingbirds
To attract hummingbirds, users should locate the feeder away from sun and wind. Sun may cause the nectar mixture to turn bad, while wind may swing the feeder around, causing the mixture to spill. Tying a red ribbon on the feeder wire or pole may also help hummingbirds find the feeder, as will adding a water source, such as a birdbath or bird waterer.
Hummingbird Season
Start adding nectar to your feeder in early spring. Hummingbirds typically begin their journey north around March or April, as the warm weather begins. They remain in the region throughout the summer months, and begin to migrate back south once the flowers cease blooming and insects are scarce. By late September, almost all hummers have moved on to warmer climates for the winter. Online migration maps are a great way to track when the hummingbirds will be arriving in your area.

First of all, this feeder does look really nice. The problem is that I washed it and the red coating just melted off. It came off like strips of cellophane. Really? A hummingbird feeder that is not washable? So dissapointing!
I have the red one also, but I imagine they used the same kind of cheap painted glass.
If they can use real colored glass for cheap sparkling water, I do not see why this company can not use real colored glass for these. If they did, they would have a 5 star, amazing product.
I must say that when I called to let the company know about my problem, they very quickly took care of it. Very nice customer service.

I bought by feeder from TSC so hadn't read the reviews. It looks nice & we have a female ruby throated hunmer that is back & forth all day but like another reviewer said, the red paint peels off when you wash it. The temperatures here in Middle Tennessee are in the 90's for most of the summer so we wash & refill every 2-3 days to prevent the nectar from spoiling & after only 2 months it is already starting to look pretty shabby. Would making this out of red glass been that much more expensive? I would have gladly spent a couple of extra $'s for a better quality feeder.

Well, I bought this about a year ago, mainly cuz I liked how it looked.
There's something about the red and yellow feeders.......they just look tacky to me.
Anyway, the little hummers love it. I just use a 3 to 1 water to table sugar mixture and the birds can't get enough of it.
The bottle is glass and the flowers and top part of the tray are metal, while the bottom is plastic.
I have to say it's not the sturdiest thing you'll ever buy, if you dropped it, I'm sure something would break but if you're not a klutz pull the trigger........you and your birds will love it.
