Look at the plain band in the middle of the bottle. There is a hummingbird pressed into it — wings back, bill forward, the same green as the glass around it, only visible when the light comes across it from the side. It is the sort of detail that used to be pressed into bottles as a matter of course and almost never is on a hummingbird feeder now.

That is the reason to choose this hummingbird feeder over any of the red plastic ones, and it is worth being clear that it is the reason. The soft sea-green glass, the raised bands of beads and ovals, the brushed nickel saucer under it — this is a hummingbird feeder you hang somewhere you can see it, not a piece of equipment you tuck round the side of the house.

What it does is straightforward. Ten fluid ounces of nectar sit in a thick pressed-glass bottle that screws down into the saucer on a moulded glass thread. Four flower ports are set into that saucer, each with a small perch beside it, so four birds can be on the hummingbird feeder at once and none of them has to hover to drink.

Ten ounces is not much, and that is the trade you are making for the look. In a garden with several regulars this hummingbird feeder empties in a couple of days in high summer. That is less of a problem than it sounds — nectar goes cloudy in warm weather within about that long anyway, so a small bottle mostly forces the habit you should already have.

Two other things about this hummingbird feeder that you should hear before you buy. There is no ant guard and nothing set inside the ports: if insects find it where you hang it, a small water cup threaded onto the line above is the cheap old answer and it works on this feeder as well as any. And the maker publishes no height or width for it anywhere, so we are not going to quote you a figure we cannot stand behind. What is published is 10 fl oz, four ports and four perches, and a tall narrow bottle rather than a wide reservoir.

The hummingbird feeder comes apart into three pieces — bottle, base cap and saucer — which is the whole cleaning story. Unscrew, wash the three parts in hot water, rinse, dry, refill. Nothing is glued and there is no corner a brush cannot reach.

Hang it from the loop at the top: a porch beam, a low branch, a deck bracket, a shepherd’s hook in a border. Green glass wants light behind it, so a spot where the morning or evening sun can get through the bottle is doing the hummingbird feeder a favour.

THE GLASS

There Is A Bird In The Glass

A hummingbird is moulded into the plain band in the middle of the bottle, in the same green as the glass around it. It only reads when light comes across it from the side, which is a good reason to hang this one where the low sun can get behind it.

FOUR AT ONCE

Four Ports With Somewhere To Sit

Four flower ports are set into the brushed nickel saucer, each with its own small perch beside it. Hummingbirds will hover if they must, but a bird that can sit stays several times longer — which is the difference between a blur past the window and something to watch.

THREE PIECES

It Is Three Pieces

The bottle unscrews from the base cap, and the base cap pulls away from the saucer. Three parts, no glue, nothing to lose in the grass. Wash them in hot water, rinse well and let them dry before you refill.

AT A GLANCE

You Can See What Is Left

The glass is tinted but it is still glass, so the nectar line reads through it in decent light and you can tell from the kitchen window whether it needs doing. The thick pressed walls are the reason it survives being hung outdoors year after year.

Frequently asked
questions.

The questions people actually ask before buying one.

It is part of the glass. A hummingbird raised out of the surface itself, pressed into the plain band around the middle of the bottle in the same sea-green as everything around it. It is not printed and it will not wear off. Side light is what makes it show.

The maker publishes no height or width for this one anywhere — not in the title, not in the bullets, not on any of its own panels — so we are not going to quote you a figure we cannot stand behind. What is published: it holds 10 fl oz, it has four ports and four perches, and it is a tall narrow bottle rather than a wide reservoir. If you need an exact clearance for a bracket, measure the space and allow for a hook.

No to both. The four ports are plain flower openings in the saucer with nothing set inside them. If insects find it where you hang it, a small water cup threaded onto the hanging line above the feeder is the cheap traditional fix.

10 fl oz. That is a small feeder, and on purpose given the shape — in warm weather nectar sours in a few days, so a bottle you finish quickly is a bottle that never had time to go cloudy.

Yes, in reasonable light. The glass is tinted green rather than opaque, so the line inside shows through it well enough to check from a window before you walk out.

Unscrew the bottle from the base cap and pull the base cap off the saucer. Wash all three pieces in hot water, rinse thoroughly and let them dry before refilling. In warm weather do that every few days, at the same time you change the nectar.

From the loop on top — a porch beam, a branch, a deck bracket or a shepherd’s hook. Somewhere with light behind it does the glass justice, and somewhere you can see from a chair does you justice.
