Perky-Pet Antique Glass Hummingbird Feeder 8108-1SR

I purchased 2 of these feeders at the beginning of last summer and have been extremely impressed with the quality! This is a picture over a year later after heavy use and refilling every other day. They still look brand new and have held up great! No rust and easy to take apart to clean. They always seal well and have had no leaks like I’ve experienced with other feeders. I originally purchased them because of how pretty the vintage design is which I still love but their durability is equally impressive! Will definitely be purchasing this same brand again when I need to add more. I have a different brand I purchased last year at a store that’s rusted already so will be replacing it with one of these after this year.

Teníamos otro alimentador de plástico que siempre chorreaba al momento de colgarlo, este tiene rosca y permite que no se tire el néctar. La calidad de la botella es buena, se ve bonita. Y la base aunque es de plástico se siente resistente y tiene un bonito acabado.

Easy to take apart to clean. Looks beautiful, decent price.
Hummingbirds love it. I had wondered if they would find it as this feeder is not very brightly coloured (many other feeders are fire hydrant red). No problem at all. Hummingbirds started using it within 1 day, lots of them use it many times a day.
The hummingbirds often even sit on the feeding disk relaxing for a moment, although there are no “perches”. Very happy with the purchase.

UPDATE:
I went outside the other day and noticed that the base had fallen off. After investigating, I found that the skew in part was cracked. I returned the item and got a new one. The new one was not cracked and the base screwed on tightly (review below states that it would pop if turned too much), the first one was popping because of the crack. If you get one that is cracked where it screws into (plastic), then it will not hold and the weight of the food will make it fall off and you will feel the popping out. Below is the original review, but the proper one allows for the screw to go in tight and fit perfectly! I would recommend checking it before you hang it outside.

I have found in past experience that getting the ones that say “Antique” is the best way to go, they normally have the metal cover that fits tightly on the hard plastic bottom and require creatures with stray like mouths to obtain the food (this prevents bees and wasp from getting at it). I got this item and it looks great in the garden, it has an old look to it that sets if off perfectly in a garden. The metal flowers are well made and are affixed to it very well. The bottle is small, but still looks nice. However, I did have two flaws with it (compared to my larger Antique hummingbird feeder), first the bottle does not screw tightly to the bottom, if you overturn it pops right back out (the other one turned snuggly on it, next the top part that hooks it to a pole is to small, therefore it will not allow me fit it over my Shepherd’s Hooks, instead I had to use a wire tie to hook it to the pole (wire tie does not look as good as the metal hanger). For the price, this is a very nice one, it does require a few tweaks, but for the price I can live with that. I filled it up with hummingbird food, and turned it over (a small little nuisance is that when you flip it over the bottle then looks half empty, not a big problem (because it has to fill the bottom, but it makes me with that I got the Red painted ones; like my other one). I highly recommend these metal bottoms, because they keep the food in, my old plastic feeders would be empty after a day of windy weather, these are heavy enough not to blow too much, but when they do it requires them to near flip over before leaking any food — Just make sure that you screw it on as tight as it goes.

In the end this is a nice a little hummingbird feeder, it looks elegant in the garden, and holds the food in better than the small plastic ones. I highly recommend the metal base ones like this one, and only wish that this one had a better screw on base and a bigger hanger on top, however, for the price it is a win!

This feeder is pretty and so far the hummingbirds love it. I didn’t know we had hummingbirds until late august but since I’ve hung it they have been frequenting it and I’ve had to fill/change it often. Not only is it pretty, it gives them a good spot to perch. And so far hasn’t leaked. I’m really happy with this and will be ordering a second one for next summer

Love this feeder. Great design, perfect size and the hummingbirds love it.

I had this model for the previous 10 years. It stopped working because when the metal cover rusts it alter the flavor of the sugar water. It looks much better and last longer than the plastic ones and works great.
