More Birds Ruby Hummingbird Feeder, Glass Bottle

Good quality and works. The humming birds love it!

Absolutely the best hummer feeder I've ever had and a fantastic price. I have several of these and love to give it as a gift. It's wide mouth, easy to clean, base disassembles easily for cleaning, too. The only problem is with Amazon's packing. I've been sent 4 of these in the last week or so and 3 bases of the 4 were broken. I tried to return it for a replacement but received this from Amazon earlier today: Hello, I'm sorry to hear the replacement More Birds Diamond Hummingbird Feeder, Glass and Plastic Feeder with 6 Feeding Stations, 30-Ounce Capacity had the same problem as your first order. This usually doesn't happen. Since it's likely another replacement would arrive damaged, I won't trouble you with another replacement. I've requested a full refund to your credit card in the amount of $18.36. This refund will appear as a credit on your billing statement in the next 2-3 business days. Please go ahead and return the wrong item--we'll pay for return shipping. There's no need to return the broken More Birds Diamond Hummingbird Feeder, Glass and Plastic Feeder with 6 Feeding Stations, 30-Ounce Capacity . You can dispose of it at your convenience. While we investigate the problems you experienced, the item will be unavailable for purchase from Amazon.com. However, you may be able to purchase it from another seller on our website. If you see this item offered by Amazon.com again in the future, you'll know we've fixed the problem. Again, I'm really sorry about this. We look forward to seeing you again soon. So. . . I get my money back but I don't get a feeder which was a gift for a friend. If Amazon simply removed the base from the glass and wrapped the base separately from the glass and laid the base flat in the box (instead of attached to the glass), all would arrive safely and would certainly save Amazon lots of return shipping costs. UPDATE: January 31, 2013 - Yesterday I saw this great feeder was still being offered by Amazon even though the email above states it would be removed from the site. So, I figured I'd order that gift I wanted. It just came today (I love Prime) and guess what. You got it, the base is broken in 2 places! This makes 4 of the 5 I've gotten that have been broken. AMAZON, really???? What part of "remove the base from the glass cylinder and pack base flat" do you not understand? Is it robots that are packing these feeders and it's not possible to program them to do this? I'm returning this one right now. I still don't have that birthday gift for my friend UPDATE February 4, 2013 - Just received my 6th feeder and I didn't even have to unwrap it to know that it's also broken in several places. This makes 5 out of 6 that are broken. This experience probably qualifies for a Guinness World Record or a Ripley's Believe It or Not. I'll request another refund and another feeder. If I ever get an unbroken feeder, my friend had better like her birthday gift. Just in case, I need a backup gift plan. . . UPDATE February 14, 2013 - I decided to give Ozbo on Amazon a try in order to get this feeder for my friend. Even though I had to pay shipping, it was a little less than the ones direct from Amazon with Prime free shipping. It arrived a day early in a larger box than Amazon used, NO bubble wrap, but plenty of brown paper around it. It was NOT broken! It took 3 days to ship and then a week to get here, but it arrived in 1 piece! Yay! The boxes Amazon used to ship this feeder were not much larger than the feeder. The feeder was bubble-wrapped, and on some of the shipments some packing air bags material was used on either the bottom or the top, but never both or the sides. It wouldn't take much pressure on the box to break the little plastic rings where the birds land and that's exactly what happened each time. This is still the best feeder on the market for hummingbirds.

After keeping it hanging for a month the Sunbirds finally came and now they come every 10 to 15 minutes throughout the day. It's a very satisfying view.

I've got a pair feeders with metal bases. Dang things are all tarnished and rusty inside and out after only two seasons. So I got one of these. Love this thing. Seems very well made. Good fitment between all pieces. Base is fully plastic, so no opportunity for rust or corrosion. Cleans easy. I like the glass bottle as well. There's a reason this is the number one seller on Amazon. It's a great feeder. I have a high feeder in the yard and a lower one on a shepherd's hook type thing. The hummingbirds have always preferred the high one. I replaced the low one, mostly because it's easier to get to. The birds are definitely favoring the new one. I already have a second one in my cart. I hope this review is helpful to you in making your hummingbird feeder purchase. Take care. :) Update (May 2024): I don't know what it is with the darned flies this year in San Antonio, TX, but they are bad. They have been crawling down into the sugar water. Gross! Was trying to come up with some 3D printable or off the shelf solution and came up empty. So got to thinking about what may work. I have some 24G stainless steel wire. Chucked it up in a drill and twisted it to give it some rigidity. Cut little short pieces at a slight angle to make the ends sharp. Popped out each "flower" and each rubbery piece. Ran that little wire across the lumen right under the rounded rim of the purple piece kinda right at the white flower/purple rim interface) and clipped it. Uploaded a pic. Can see the newly added thin wire running horizontally across the port. Of course, was concerned the birds wouldn't be able to get their beaks into the good stuff. So filled them up a bit, let the fluid settle, then marked the fill line on the bottle, and waited. Good news, the feeders were getting hit. Better news, after an hour or so, the fluid level was noticably lower. Pretty happy how it turned out. Will see how it does to prevent the danged flies from getting in there. Still a five star feeded. Much more action on these than my old ones, but the access ports perhaps could be a little narrower or have a bug guard designed into them.

Good looking
