That's lovely. You must be in Florida. I have a friend who has so many hummingbirds that she makes 10 gallons of water/food for them per day. It looks like it's raining birds at her house. That is her hobby, her passion, her love.

Oh, yes. You are pretty far south too. She is in Georgia, lower part (near Savanah). Hers will get to her earlier than mine will to me. I visit her once or twice during the summertime. We used to be neighbors years ago and such a great friend. I love seeing her hummingbirds. Her husband, a retired, doctor helps with the birds.

@qvcfreak I'm excited about the hummingbirds coming back, too. They were saying on the local news today that it's almost time. They'll be back next month. I'm in East TN.

During this recent tornado action (GA - TX - elsewhere) couldn't stop thinking about the birds now migrating and what little chance they have to survive the torrid of rain and wind.

I've heard, in the past, about piles of dead birds on the ground following spring storms.

Watching here (NYS) for the hummers.

I love your new feeder! I am putting a bird cage on a stand that will have the door open next to the fire cracker flowers that they love and come to. I am going to put a pot of them in the bottom of the cage and hang a feeder for them in it also. The door will be open all the time as I am not trying to catch them just hoping they will go in and I can see them better for a little while. We live in CO and get really excited when we see them on our flowers by the patio.

@qvcfreak @Pretty. Enjoy.
I'm in the northern burbs of Chicago and have another 2-3 weeks until they're back. Will have our feeders ready and waiting!

I live in California, I have Anna's hummingbirds year round. I maintain two feeders. One is very old, It was given to me by my late mother in the early 90s.

Pretty feeder. They will love it.

We get them year round here, although not many takers this week.

@qvcfreak Enjoy! Very pretty! I can't use that type of feeder because I have flowering plants in my garden that not only attract Butterflies, hummingbirds etc. but some of them also attract BEES! So, my feeders have Bee Guards or else they will take over. If any of you have problems with ants also lol...they also sell feeders with ant modes that have a small well at the top of the feeder that you fill with water. ETA: The one you have @qvcfreak looks to me from the photo that the holes could be small enough to deter Bees! Have Fun!

Very nice and I hope it's not from the same company as the one I purchased here at the Q. It's M70968 The Perky Pet one. It LEAKS like crazy! Check out the reviews....horrible! A flawed product and we all should get our money back (I waited too long to return) who purchased it. Stop selling this dud Q! It leaked out all night and left a big sticky sugar mess on my deck(stain!) and that was discovered by a million ants.What a mess! I tightened everything they said and checked and STILL leaked so it is a design flaw. No way to fix and a waste of my money. I have lots of different feeders up and have had them up for years and this feeder is the ONLY one that was a total stinker. Stained my deck and brought ants. Why are you still selling this item Q?

I purchased mine at At Home. That’s horrible @silkyk I hope you were able to fix your deck.

Oh no, I think that's the brand I ordered in pink that hasn't shipped yet! I was going to get the set of 2 from the other vendor but this one was cheaper. I get lots of birds so hoping the feeder would be nice for them.

Nice looking feeder and i like the fill from top feature. i just avoid the all glass ones like that, too heavy.
