i JUST FOUND a hummingbird nest in a small bush in my back yard. I looked up and there was a nest and two chicks crying for mom. The mother looked so skinny when she came that I went straight to You Tube to see what I could find, and I found this channel. I have the aluminum frame of a large yard umbrella that I thought would be cool to attach 4 feeders on each arm and mount it up high away from any cats. I have four felines that would love two play with birdy~friend. I would have to fashion it so it would be easy to refill feeders... this just got me thinking summer project, thanks for the ideas, I am a new subber. LOL

FYI.... I happened to be in Harbor Freight the other day in need of some paintbrushes when I saw a package of five different sized brushes on a ring that were meant to clean airbrush equipment orifices. They looked like miniature bottle brushes. I bought a package, not knowing why but it seemed like the thing to do. Now I know why it seemed so important. Those brushes will be perfect for cleaning Hummingbird feeders.

After several yrs of trying every humming bird feeder on the market, I finally found the PERFECT one. It's leak proof, has 10 ports, has a perch all the way around to sit on, comes with bee guards, and is 32 oz! :-) They're by First Nature. They're THE BEST! I hope Robbie sees this. I don't know how she keeps all her feeders filled! lol I only have about 20 hummers and was changing my 12 oz feeders every other day and sometimes every day. I'm very excited! The price is great too. Oh and they have ant motes too. woo hoo!! BTW I love your videos!!

@trenchantsometimes5149 4 жыл бұрын

I don't personally care for the ones without perches for the birds because I believe they are just expending energy hovering there to get the nectar. Just a personal preference, I like to give them a place to perch while they sip.

I agree especially in bad weather. When it’s chilly and pouring raining I’ve seen them perch and feed steadily for several minutes looking kind of worn out. They do conserve energy in that case when they really need it most.

@jmac7133 2 ай бұрын

I find most of mine are hovering, because they like to get territorial and the fly around hitting each other! The long I have been feeding them, the more the dynamics change last year I have some that were perfectly fine to share. I thought maybe they were related. Idk tho.

If you will use Vicks Vaporub all around the flowers, you will NOT have any problems with flying, or walking insects on your feeders, EVER! They can also use the Vicks to repell Mites in their fethers I have seen them preening their fethers using the Vicks. (fyi) Also, if you will use distilled water to mix your nectar with , and place the feeders in the noon, to afternoon shade, that's even more success.

The 'average one' at 5:34 has plastic mesh-looking balls in each 'flower'. I have one of those feeders and it comes completely apart. To clean those mesh-looking balls I pull them out of the flower, they flip open, they're hinged in the center unless they've changed the design. The flowers pull off, too, just be sure to point them upward when reassembling. I take the whole thing apart and clean it with a brush in soapy water.

My university extension service says not to use soap, only bleach. That means no dishwasher. It's difficult to thoroughly rinse some parts of these feeders. Traces of detergent can get in the nectar and harm the birds.

@trenchantsometimes5149 4 жыл бұрын

Instead of discarding feeders without ant moats you can put your own ant moat on. Take the top cup/cap from a spray paint can, hairspray can, cooking spray, etc. and use it as an ant moat. Rig it up however you need to, I added fishing line for hanging, ran it through a tiny hole I melted through the cap, hot glued around it. No more ant problem.

@kim267 4 жыл бұрын

My first feeder was the Perky Pet feeder (6:40) but it was such a pain to clean and fill. There's a design flaw that you fill the container, screw on the feeder opening and then turn it right side up. The nectar spills everywhere. I also had finches and yellow jackets drinking from it regularly. I now have 2 Aspects Hummzinger HighView Hummingbird Feeder, the 4 oz. and 8 oz. So easy to clean and fill. The 8 oz. comes with a built in moat. You can also see the birds from any angle as there's no bottle to hide them. As for nectar, I prefer to use homemade nectar, only. Dissolve 1 part white granulated sugar into 4 parts water. NO DYE!! For example 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar. Remember to clean your feeders at least once a week, especially in the summer. Your hummers will love you for it. Enjoy them!

One of the things I always do when cleaning them is to take the garden hose and fire it into the basin so water shoots out the feeder holes. It's messy, but lets me know which holes may be clogged and need more attention. I honestly don't mind the bees; but I do hate the yellow jackets. They're a much bigger problem for me (Central Texas).

I so love all the information She gives. I went from having one come and go to 15. My humming birds tend to be picky. They like to look at the water in the container. They wont drink red liquid or out of any red glass. They also prefer the recipe she shares of sugar and water. Make sure the opening isn't a tiny slit like she said. Keep container clean, wash them often especially during hot weather. Mold can kill them. Watch her videos, you will learn a lot. Oh, you can also buy ant cups or ant moats to hang with your feeder to keep ants out. Ants can grab the tongue of the bird and not release.

Robbie I never knew what a Moat was. Also, my very first hummingbird feeder is the one next to the one you made a video at the end. I never knew I could open or how to open it to clean it inside. Didn't even realize it could have gotten mold. One time I was cleaning it out and shaking it really hard to get water out of the little holes and noticed some black stuff coming out of the tiny holes so I used a toothpick to go into each hole to clean it. Thank you thank you I will be cleaning it much better the next time. The hummingbirds have been feeding from it. I will be buying another of the same feeder. I love the seats for the birds and NOW I know how to deep clean it from you showing me!! Thank you.

Clean feeders with dental cleaner then rinse. I read this awhile back, and it works well then brush with bottle brush and straw brush. Here on the coast of Oregon, I have year around hummingbirds. The dental cleaner is $3-4 at Walmart for a box of 40. I turned the feeders upside down, filled with water while sitting in water and dropped dental cleaner in feeders and water around feeders. Cleaned 5 feeders and used 8 cleaners. Worked well.

The hook for the first glass feeder has hook under the top piece . Which is supposed to be an ant mote. Thank you for all your knowledge. I too love the wee birds. We are in Canada on the East coast. See you soon . Enjoy your life

I bought the red feeder with the white flowers last year. It has a lot of small parts making it more difficult to clean I did end up cleaning it and it went to the garage. My favorites are the $ Store feeders. I actually used one of those feeders as an ornament on my Christmas tree!

I love your videos I have learned so much I didnt know about the bee guard and about the water. and also I have been making my nectar wrong I use 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of water and I boil it let it cool.❤

I have your first one and I will go buy a second. I love that it easy to clean. Nothing worse for the little ones than the bacteria from dirty feeders.

I love this video you made! It is soon helpful! I'm getting the one you like the best. All the other ones are too much of a pain to clean.

I have had the $8.94 Pennington glass with the small flat flowers at the base for 5 years. It's super easy to clean by soaking and using a toothbrush in the grooves, and a toothpick thru the feed tubes. Never had an issue with bees or ants. Bats are an issue with my neighbors who say they drain their feeders but they don't bother mine. I make my own nectar too, 3 filtered water to 1 part sugar. I heat on stove on the lowest heat a few minutes just to dissolve the sugar then store it in the fridge. I don't completely fill the feeder because of having to replace nectar often in a sonoran desert heat! Thanks for the review, so glad I found your channel. Great ideas and tips.

A baby bottle brush that also has the nipple brush is great to clean hummingbird feeders and around the flowers (especially if the flowers don't come off).

They love the one with the moat. More importantly, my birds love them

Appreciate this video VERY much! I have not had a bee problem until this year. My family bought me the lovely blue glass feeder in your video. It's lovely ....but ... it is a bee magnetic 🧲 🐝🐝🐝🐝 I have moved it for now to a more remote area of the yard. My remaining feeders are the cheaper plastic types. I use ant moats with them ...they work great! Thank you again for the video. I now know what to look for.
