RoamwildHanging Hummingbird Feeder for Outdoors with Double Moat Guard Technology | 5 Feeding Stations with Quick Easy Filling Port | 20 fl oz Nectar Large Capacity - Purple Petals (Yellow)

The inverted bell design of the top of this feeder is stylish and serves as an ant moat when filled with water, and there is a second moat below that. Haven't seen an ant below the top moat since we hung it, not that they haven't tried. The feed ports haven't let any hornets or bees in either. The construction and materials used give us confidence that the feeder will last many years. But the single most critical quality of any hummingbird feeder is whether it attracts hummingbirds, and this one does that in spades. It has become the go-to feeder for the little helicopters in a yard with three other feeders of different styles.

Bought the first one because it was advertised to minimize annoying wasps & bees - which it does, although initially there were some stubborn ones that took awhile to figure it out. The Hummers adopted it immediately. Have had no black mold inside like I've had in the past with conventional feeders. Filling is a breeze with a small plastic funnel and long necked pitcher (I use small apple juice jug). I bought a 2nd one cause it's so easy to clean; just unscrew the reservoir, flush it out and reassemble. Only downside is that little insects will crawl through the nectar holes, but not having the Hummers (or me) harassed by wasps is the best!

I live in an area where we occasionally get a couple days of gusty winds in the summer time. It gets windy enough that most hummingbird feeders I've had end up completely empty within just a few hours of refilling them because they rock back and forth, pouring their contents out. So I purposely looked for a feeder to address that problem. Thus I bought this feeder. Yep, it certainly doesn't have that issue. But it does have other problems.First, it's hard to screw the bottom on tight enough. If you can't get the bottom screwed on tight, it won't have a good seal and will easily leak around its rubber gasket. Main issue there seems to be because it's so hard to get a good grip on the thing. You see, the bottom is *much* wider than the average palm, plus it's slick and mostly flat. All things that make it difficulty for you to get a grip on it with one of your hands. Meanwhile, the main section is really oddly shaped and you'll struggle with trying to figure out just where, exactly, can you even grab it? Which prohibits you from getting good grip with your other hand. Thus you have problems with *both* of your hands and that's why getting a good seal can be tough. Hopefully, you won't have to fight with it very often when you want to refill the feeder. It's not too hard to clean it if you want to avoid unsealing it.Second issue (and I'll admit that this could just be something with the hummingbirds in my area): our hummingbirds can't figure out how to use it. Oh, they approach it, buzz right up to it, look it over from a couple different angles.. but generally give up. I think the problem here is that the flowers aren't "3D" enough for them, if you get what I mean. Unfortunately, if they were more "3D", that would make it even harder for you to grip the top part when you want to screw the bottom on. Not sure what could be done to help the hummingbirds figure out "Here! Right HERE, this is where you can stick your beak." On the other hand, our local wrens LOVE this thing. As soon as I refill it and hang it, here come the wrens. They've figured out: as they sit on one side of the feeder, it tips the sugar water against the gasket on that side so then can *jam* their little beaks past the gasket and get a drink. It could also be that it's not sealed very well (see my previous paragraph) and they are just licking the sugar water as it leaks past the gasket. I'm not quite close enough to see exactly what they're doing. But I certainly get a lot more wrens happily slurping down hummingbird food than I get actual hummingbirds. They aren't able to tip it sideways enough to completely empty it, however. So I guess that's a positive.Last issue: it's a bit tricky to fill it and *not* end up with sticky sugar water all over it. While the cap is easy to remove, the refill hole isn't easy to pour hummingbird food into (part of the feeder kind of gets in your way) unless you use a container with a nice long spout.

Four observations after a month of use. One: the reservoir is too deep for ruby-throated hummingbirds, with only the liquid well above the low reservoir line available to the birds, resulting in most of the liquid being wasted. Two: the unit hangs crooked, which is actually good because some juice is high enough that the birds can reach it, yet frustrating for the birds because some access holes are dry. Three: the rubber gasket between the base and top fits a bit loose, is too thin/flimsy, and is hard to position so that it functions properly. Four: the hummingbirds prefer our other nearby feeders to this one. My wife and I decided to take it down.

I just bought this hummingbird feeder a few days ago and I can truly say my little hummingbird loves it! Before I got this one, I was using an inexpensive and not well made feeder. It was constantly having visits from ants and wasps, but not hummingbirds. The moats work well. I have not seen an ant or a wasp. The feeder is made of a much thicker plastic than the other one. It was easy to take apart and wash before I put it up. The hook hangs it just the right height from my shepherd's hook and the yellow flowers seem bright enough to attract the hummingbirds.Within 2 hours of getting the feeder and putting in homemade nectar (1/4 c white sugar to 1 cup water,boiled and cooled), the hummingbird came to check out the feeder. He got a drink and didn't do his usual fly-by. The next day he has been twice within 1 hour! I am very pleased and urge you to try it in your yard.

We live in Nebraska and have Ruby Throat humming birds. For some unexplainable reason our humming birds will NOT DRINK from this feeder. They will check it out by flying to each hole and then flying off without drinking. We have tried filling it over the fill line and they still will not use this feeder. They leave it and fight over the old PERKY-PET feeder. Any suggestions ?

They love it

I like the idea for the ant moats. I also think the hummingbirds drink the water, of which I am very glad. however, its way to "squatty" to be able to fill it easily like they say. You need to get a very small measuring cup to refill it when you purchase this. It does not come with oneUpdate 6/30/22. There has been no hummingbird activity in this feeder. The food is still at the same level as when I had filled it.
