With over 300 hummingbird species in the Western Hemisphere, you’re bound to see some of them at your window with the Perky Pet Glass Hummingbird Feeder. With a bright red color used to lure in the hummingbirds, this feeder is made from clear, shatterproof glass. The feeder features six feeding ports with bee guards that are built-in. The feeder also includes a four-way perch and can hold 30 ounces of nectar. When you need to fill or clean the feeder, simply unscrew the base. Finding the perfect glass hummingbird feeder can be difficult work, especially as this product is intended to be used by hummingbirds, not just its buyers.
It’s made from clear, red glass, is easy to clean, and is large enough to be enjoyed by a variety of birds, especially with the post. Some consumers have considered purchasing the Schrody Glass Hummingbird Feeder, only to discover that the glass is clear and there is red cellophane paper placed over it. This cellophane begins to wear when the feeder is cleaned, which has led to poor reviews by product owners. It is also double the price of the Perky Pet.
Indeed, consumers have been happy with the affordability and functionality of the Perky Pet feeder, but there are some criticisms on this hanging hummingbird feeder. Consumers found the feeder hard to clean and without a proper cleaning, the feeder can develop mold, which is dangerous to hummingbirds. A helpful reviewer suggested using grains of rice to clean the feeder instead of soap.

This product is fantastic. We’ve had ours for two years now and it’s as good as new, even in the blistering desert heat. The glass bottle is durable and the hummingbirds seem to love it. It’s a joy to watch them hover from one plastic “flower” to the next – they seem sufficiently pleased with this product’s design.
