Window Mount Hummingbird Feeder

The hummingbirds love this style feeder. I have tried many others but they don't pay them much attention. For some odd reason they just love to fight over this particular brand/type of feeder. I've been using these since 2012 and have purchased numerous times through amazon and also found them locally at a chain hardware store. These are the best feeder to get if you want to see hummers up close at your windows. The major downside of this brand/feeder is that they don't last. I have been through years and years of these feeders and design changes. They have changed the design of the plastic prongs that hold the top to the base several times. Some for the better, and the current design for the worse. They just break too easily and the fit now is super tight so you have to be extra careful opening it up to not snap them off. To be fair the older designs also broke. I have a whole box of these that I have mixed and matched over the years to try to Frankenstein together another year of feeding out of the various models. They have also changed to a rubber insert for the feed hole with the most recent design. It is an improvement in that it is much easier to clean now since you can just pop each one out and then jam a toothbrush inside the base and clean it up without the obstruction of the feed tube. The tubes are slightly too long, but you can snip the end off with a sharp scissors. The landing rail for the birds has always been too thin and weak and that remains with the latest design. The latest design also has too small of a mounting hole to fit the included suction cup so you have to jam it on there and hope it stays. So far it has. I will continue to buy them because I am stupid and love to watch hummingbirds. I hope Perky Pet is working on a redesign. Please do something better with the plastic prongs that hold the bottom to the top. The years you had the single fat prong design lasted the longest. Just don't go back to the squared off reservoir, keep the curved design.
