anyone use a window test tube hummingbird feeder?

I was wondering how you like them. How difficult to clean? They seem to be the new thing around here.

I just had my first hummingbird Tuesday, but haven't seen any since it's gotten chilly again.

I haven't tried that but I kept buying the very fancy beautiful ones. I couldn't understand why the birds weren't around.

Then the guy at the bird feeder place said, "Have you considered that the sun causes the glass to heat up the colored water"?

I no longer use anything that resembles glass. They aren't as pretty, but I think I'll have better luck. Just me.

very easy, just suction cup

mine is on my kitchen window

the one you posted is very small so you would probably have to change it more often, I would consider looking at a bigger one. As for the water getting warmer it hasn't effected the frequencies of the visits to mine

It seems like the suction won't hold forever and the feeder will eventually fall and break.
