Dr JB Feet s Hummingbird Feeder With Yellow Petals Review

I've been feeding hummers for nearly 10 years.I feed about 40 Rufous and Annas at any one time and use about a half gallon of nectar a day (if I had more feeders, I'm sure I'd use more nectar as the feeders are nearly 100% used all day long).

Up till now, my favorite feeder remains the Perky Pet 32 oz feeder, even though it is needlessly difficult to clean (no way to disassemble the base and clean the nooks and crannies - even a flexible bottle brush isn't sufficient - have to resort to using uncooked rice to try and clean them properly).

Anyhoo, this feeder looked like somebody was (finally) using their noodle and I bought a few.When I got them, I found some flaws.First off, the capacity is too small for my preference and needs - only 16 oz.I bought 4 of them to compensate, but am returning them.The convenience in cleaning doesn't offset the design flaws imo.

Problems that I see: 1) The angle of the feeding holes are too flat for even the smallest hummers to drink from without kinking their necks (a problem way too many feeders have in common- I wonder if the people designing the feeders even bother to watch hummers in action).

2) The perch for the hummers is too close to the body for even the smaller hummers to feed without being crammed tight.

3)Only 4 feeding stations - I prefer 6 per feeder to drain the feeders faster and prevent the nectar from spoiling.

Dr JB gets an attaboy for designing an easy to clean feeder, but it should have been so much better.However, considering the atrociously bad selection of feeders (despite the myriad numbers being sold), this feeder is a decent choice.

I will keep looking for the perfect feeder, but I despair that I will ever find one...
