FGHF-A Amethyst Faceted Glass Hummingbird Feeder

Reasons I like this brand over all others I have tried:1. The feeding base comes apart for a thorough cleaning (no unreachable corners).2. Because the top is made of a heavy glass, it doesn't rock as much in the wind and dump the syrup on the ground.3. Holds a cup, the perfect size so I can refresh the syrup every 7 to 10 days so it doesn't get old.4. Never has any ants get sucked up inside when an air bubble needs to fill the vacuum because the syrup comes through a feeding tube. Instead the bottom of the bottle fills a shallow pan - no narrow tube.5. Lovely to look at.6. My first one is several years old and looks as good as the one I bought this summer (even though it frequently gets left hanging empty all winter - snow and all).

While I like the feeder, there is some misinformation. The "Product description" section says it "holds 16-ounce" however, the box it comes in and the tag directly attached to the feeder say 6 ounces. The Amethyst is so dark it looks almost black, so the picture is completely inaccurate. Just FYI, the box says the base is copper plated. Taking it apart and reassembling it was fairly easy once I realized I had to line up the center screw in the bottom (plastic) part to fit evenly just inside the edge of the copper topped base. Imagine the whole thing is inverted after just having filled it with nectar . . . I then held those two base pieces together while I screwed the glass portion into them. Just today I hung it outside without a drip. I don't mind the smaller sized capacity, but I do wish the color was apparent. With the caveat that the color and size are misleading, it is a lovely feeder. Hopefully, the hummers will like it as well.

I purchased this one because I like to be able to view when I need to refill it, purple is my favorite color and it looked elegant.It wasn't quite as elegant as I had hoped and crystals formed in the bottom. I don't know why that happened. I've never experienced it in any of my other feeders. I made it less efficient and I will probably go back to my previous one that I loved but couldn't tell when it needed refilling.

Beautiful shape, but NOT AS ADVERTISED!!! The description says it holds 16 ounces. This is FALSE ADVERTISING. This feeder ONLY HOLDS 6 OUNCES! That isn't even a full cup! I ordered it because it was supposed to hold more nectar than my other feeders (& it's very pretty). WRONG! I have to refill it at least twice a day because it's so tiny! So it's more work, instead of less, which is why I got it.Very unhappy I spent so much $$ on this. It is pretty but I still feel ripped off.

If you're looking for a stylish feeder that has great aesthetics, ease of maintenance, AND attracts hummingbirds that prefer perching to hovering (as mine seem to do) this should be a contender for consideration. I am VERY satisfied with the purchase of this feeder due to the above listed attributes; however, in direct sunlight it appears more black than amethyst (photo attached).

This review is for the Schrodt FGHF-A Amethyst Faceted Glass Hummingbird Feeder, reviews on this page seem to be mixed with other colors and models as well. I just hung it up today so I'll update this review in time. I'm considering returning it - the product description says it holds 16 oz, like the feeder I am replacing, but was very disappointed with how small it looked...measuring the capacity, confirmed it only holds 7 ounces! Not even enough for a standard 8 oz recipe, which I always doubled in the past to 1/2 cup of sugar. Not sure how the product description can be so inaccurate. On the plus side, it says on the box that it is solid colored glass and guaranteed not to peel or fade...granted not to be taken at face value, but upon inspecting it I'm pretty convinced it's actual colored glass, or else a damn good fake. Perhaps they changed this model, and to keep it at the same cost they made the bottle smaller? No idea but I am really thinking such a small feeder is not worth the price...I'll give it a spin and see how long this lasts and how well it attracts the regulars i have!

This is an awesome feeder. Hummers love it. I bought it because it looks like the Shard from the Dark Crystal. When I put it up last year we had hummers immediately. I named them Ricky Bobby, Big Boy, and Crackhead Mary. Now there are new hummers and I have to think of new names. They keep coming. I can't keep track.

Never mind me!! My hummingbirds love it!! I have two now and the ones from the stores around here I threw away because they didn't use them!
