Bring a touch of elegance to your yard with the Perky-Pet Antique Bottle 10-ounce hummingbird feeder. The feeder owes its good looks to its green 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.

I've had this feeder for about 3 weeks now and have used it daily since - plenty of time to evaluate it and say that this is a great feeder and definitely worth buying.
Pros:
* Beautiful vintage look
* Absolutely no leaks
* Glass bottle, metal flower feeders, and only lowermost piece if plastic
* Easy to clean (with a bottle brush)
* Reasonably priced, here and elsewhere
* Comfortable enough for birds to perch and rest on while feeding
* Hummingbirds love it (you don't need red)
Cons:
* 10 oz capacity may be a bit small for some, depending on your birdie turn-out, but here in Los Angeles, CA, a smaller capacity is just fine because in the warmer months you have to clean out the feeders often anyway
* The metal hook is a bit narrow to fit easily on certain brackets (the sugar solution will spill out when you tip it), but we just added a bit of rope to extend it
* None, really!

I have had this a year or two (I don't remember when I got it, but I had it before I moved). The bottle is glass. The base has two parts for easy cleaning (very important with hummingbird feeders), to clean the narrow necked bottle you will need to get a bottle cleaning brush. The top of the base is thin metal while the base is green plastic. The bottle is hung by a piece of metal. This metal makes it so you have to hold it while filling so you need to be able to pour with one hand. This part also rusts (fwiw I had mine in a tree, perhaps under a porch it wouldn't corrode so fast). I like that the flowers don't have yellow (which attracts bees) and don't drip, but the enamel can chip off.

I have used this style hummingbird feeder for several years. It works wonderfully well with clear homemade nectar. The flower-shaped feeders each have a small amount of red around their center. It is much more attractive than the red plastic feeders. However, it is definitely overpriced here at $25+. The local hardware stores and WalMart all sell this feeder for under $13 each.
