In the first week of August a busy hummingbird feeder can go from full to empty in two days. If yours holds eight ounces you are out there with the jug every other morning, usually in your dressing gown, usually before coffee.

This one holds twenty-four. That is three times the small bottle feeders and it changes the rhythm of owning one: you top it up when you feel like it rather than when the birds have already emptied it and moved on. This hummingbird feeder stands 11 inches tall and 5.9 across, so it reads as a proper object hanging in a border rather than a gadget.

There is a limit to that argument and it is worth saying. A big hummingbird feeder in hot weather does not mean you change the nectar less often — it means you pour more of it away. Sugar water goes cloudy in a few days whatever hummingbird feeder it sits in. If you have one or two birds rather than a dozen, fill this one half full and change it on the same schedule you would anyway.

The glass is hand-blown, which is a real difference rather than a description. Red is thrown through with orange, cream and yellow in a mottled speckle that runs down into fine streaks towards the foot, and no two come out the same. It is also opaque enough that you will not read the nectar line through it from indoors, so checking this hummingbird feeder means walking out and lifting it.

Four flower ports sit in the black metal plate under this hummingbird feeder, and the perch is one continuous ring running right round the outside of it rather than four separate loops — a bird lands wherever it arrives and walks to the port it wants. What the ports do not have is guards. There is no mesh and nothing set inside them, so the hummingbird feeder is not doing anything about wasps beyond keeping the nectar below the surface instead of open at the top.

Ants are handled above it. A small red cup with its own S-hook goes on the line between your hook and the handle, and you fill it with water; ants coming down the wire towards the hummingbird feeder stop at it. Keep water in it, or it stops nothing.

Where the glass meets the base there is a food-grade silicone gasket, and the two are made to fit each other closely. That is the mechanism, and it is as far as we will go — every hummingbird feeder in this category promises never to drip and most eventually do.

The mouth is extra wide, so filling is a straight pour and washing is a bottle brush rather than patience. No brush comes in the box, which is worth knowing if you do not already own one. Hang the hummingbird feeder from its wire handle on a branch, a shepherd’s hook or a bracket, hook the moat in above it, and put it somewhere you look at every day.

One size, nothing to choose — what matters is where it goes and how full you keep it.

Capacity – 24 fl oz of nectar
Size – 11 inches tall including the hanger, 5.9 inches across
Ports – four flower ports, with no guards in them

Seal – a food-grade silicone gasket where the glass seats
Ant moat – a separate cup on its own S-hook, hung above it
Cleaning – extra-wide mouth; hand wash; no brush included

In a quiet garden, half-fill it. A large reservoir emptied slowly in hot weather means pouring nectar away, not changing it less often.

IT COMES APART

The Base Comes Apart

The glass lifts off a black metal plate that carries the four ports and the perch ring, with a food-grade silicone gasket in the joint and a shallow saucer under it. Four pieces, no glue, nothing you need a tool for — which is the only reason a feeder ever actually gets cleaned.

ANTS

Fill The Little Cup With Water

The ant moat is a separate red cup with its own S-hook that hangs on the line above the feeder. Pour water into it and ants coming down the wire reach it and stop. It needs topping up: in hot weather the water goes before the nectar does, and a dry cup does nothing at all.

ALL YEAR

It Stays Out All Year

Glass and metal, hung outdoors, through blossom and sunflowers and leaf-fall. The one thing to watch is a hard freeze — nectar expands as it freezes, so bring it in or empty it when the temperature is going to drop below freezing overnight.

Frequently asked
questions.

The questions people actually ask before buying one.

No. The four ports are plain flower-shaped openings with nothing set inside them, and we would rather say that plainly than let the maker’s wording imply otherwise. The nectar sits below the surface rather than at the top of an open hole, which helps — but if wasps are a real problem where you are, buy a feeder with mesh guards in the ports.

24 fl oz, at 11 inches tall including the hanger and 5.9 inches across. It is one of the larger bottle feeders, so leave a little clearance under whatever you hang it from.

Only if you have the birds for it. Nectar goes off in warm weather no matter how much is in there, so a large reservoir you empty slowly just means pouring more away. With a lot of birds it saves you a daily trip; with two, fill it half full.

Not really. The glass is hand-blown and heavily speckled, which is the point of it, and that same pattern hides a liquid line. You check it by lifting it. A clear-glass feeder is the better choice if reading the level at a glance matters to you.

It is a separate cup with an S-hook. Put it on the line between your hook and the handle and fill it with water. Ants come down the wire, reach the water and stop. Top it up when you check the nectar.

No brush is included. The mouth is extra wide, so any bottle brush reaches the whole inside; the base separates from the glass and the ports come out of the base. Hand wash everything in hot water, rinse well and dry before refilling.

It is thick hand-blown glass and it lives outdoors. The one real risk is a hard freeze with nectar still in it — liquid expands when it freezes. Empty it or bring it in when a freezing night is forecast.
