It works, and it also means the shelf in the garden centre is a wall of the same object in the same colour, and whichever hummingbird feeder you pick disappears into the border the moment you hang it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one is cut glass in violet shading down to turquoise, and it is the reason to buy it. Light goes through the facets rather than bouncing off them, so the colour changes as the sun moves and the whole thing reads as a piece of coloured glass first and a hummingbird feeder second. The ports are still red-adjacent — five small violet flowers with brass centres — and birds find it perfectly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the hummingbird feeder, a black metal plate carries those five ports, and a single wire ring runs right round the outside of it. That ring is the perch, and it is one continuous rail rather than five separate loops: a bird lands wherever it happens to arrive and walks round to whichever port it wants. Hummingbirds will hover to feed if they have to, but they would far rather sit, and a perched bird stays long enough to actually look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hummingbird feeder holds 25 fl oz, which is a lot, and stands 11.81 inches tall by 6.1 across with a base 1.77 inches deep. Worth thinking about honestly: a big reservoir does not mean you change the nectar less often. Sugar water goes cloudy in a few days in warm weather regardless, so unless you have a busy garden, fill this hummingbird feeder half full and change it on the same schedule you would use for a small one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the glass meets the base there is a rubber O-ring and a screw fastening that pulls the two together. That is the mechanism and that is all we will say about it — every hummingbird feeder in this category is sold on a promise about drips, and the honest version is that a clean thread, a seated O-ring and a firm turn are what keep nectar where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is in the box is the feeder, the base and the hardware to hang it. If insects find the nectar where you hang it — and somewhere in most gardens they will — a small water cup threaded onto the line above any hummingbird feeder is the cheap, old answer, and it works on this one as well as on any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleaning is a wide-mouth job — the bottle opens far enough to take a bottle brush and the base separates from it, so every surface is reachable. No brush comes in the box. Hang the hummingbird feeder from the flat-topped handle on a branch, a bracket or a shepherd’s hook, somewhere with light behind it, because that is when the glass is worth having.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut Glass That Changes Colour Down Its Height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwenty-Five Ounces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Fill It Without A Funnel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang It Where You Sit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43309943259213,"sku":"WL-HUMMPURP","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/434d92a50aa1a89ab3acae3cb41efab7.png?v=1785012720","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/hummingbird-feeder-in-diamond-cut-purple-glass-25-oz-5-ports-and-a-ring-perch","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
