A hanging glass feeder with four flower ports and a 10 oz nectar reservoir.
A glass bottle with four feeding ports
The Perky-Pet Antique Bottle feeder has a sea-green glass reservoir, metal base and hanger, with four flower-shaped feeding ports around the base. It holds 10 ounces of nectar. The glass bottle keeps the remaining nectar visible, while the flower ports provide several places for hummingbirds to feed from the same reservoir.
Hang it where upkeep is easy
Hang the feeder where the glass bottle can be removed without awkward reaching. A shaded position limits direct sun on the nectar. Keep a clear path between the hook and a work surface, since the bottle must be carried down for cleaning and refill. A sheltered spot can also reduce swinging in strong wind. Set the hanger at a height that lets you see the nectar level and reach all four ports during routine care.
Keep the nectar fresh
Fill only what you expect to use before the next cleaning. Clean the feeder at least twice a week with warm water and soap, then rinse thoroughly before refilling. In hot weather, check the feeder more often because nectar can spoil sooner. Cloudy or spoiled nectar should be replaced rather than topped up.
Make the feeder part of a larger yard
Hummingbirds also feed from flowers and small insects, so a feeder works best as one part of a yard with flowering plants. Native blooms supply natural food across the season; the feeder adds a visible nectar source near a porch or window. Plant flowers with overlapping bloom times to keep natural food available as the season changes. If making nectar at home, mix one part refined white sugar with four parts water and cool it before filling the feeder. Honey can promote fungal growth, and red coloring is unnecessary. Plain nectar keeps the contents simple and easy to monitor through the glass. If you hang more than one feeder, place them out of one another’s sight so one territorial bird cannot dominate every feeding spot. This bottle can serve as one station in a wider yard layout.
