Great feeder
I am ordering my second feeder today. I've been using the same one for 3 years now year round because we have hummers all year long in Phoenix. It is still in perfect condition. I like this one because the parts are mostly metal and the sun is brutal here on anything plastic. The only problem I've had with it is aligning the bottom correctly so the nectar doesn't leak out. I've mastered it now so it's not a problem. To avoid breaking the neck off of the jar I soak the unit in warm water for a few minutes before unscrewing. I'm also very careful not to over tighten. I fill it only half way as the birds don't like the food if it's over a few days old especially in warm weather. Here is a trick for cleaning your feeder. Put about 3 Tbls. of white vinegar mixed with two cups of water in the feeder. Add about 1/2 cup of white uncooked rice. (I use a funnel) and shake. The friction from the rice will clean even the dark mold off of the inside. Rinse well before filling.More detail ...
