I'd rather pay more, and have something that works. I got them to replace my well used Schrodt feeders. I've had a few of these Avant Feeders, and they've all had the same problem: they fill with water when it rains, and thus foul the hummingbird nectar. Avoid this brand.
Very nasty, and the birds don't like it much. This thing is so nasty.I bought it because it was pretty, but I have been very, very disappointed once I started using it. The syrup in the bottom turns to a nasty, thick goo within just a couple of days,and if the wind blows the sugar water dribbles out all over my deck.I've found the same problem with any of the hummingbird feeders that use the tray method: where the syrup comes down from an upside-down bottle into a trough with little fake flowers over it.
The painting is great, and the metal flowers are charming. She absolutely loved this one. She hasn't put it up yet, but so far we're totally happy. I bought this for my mom's birthday. She wanted a hummingbird feeder and I wanted to find one better than the plastic ones in the stores.
Nice hand painted flowers give an ordinary glass feeder a bit more decorative look. This is a very nice looking feeder that is the right size to allow the hummers to consume most of the necter before it goes bad. I like this feeder because when you remove the base to fill it, the base splits into 2 pieces for easy cleaning. The other feeders I own have small crevices that get moldy.
I sit out in the morning with my coffee and watch the birds and the squirrels. I'm going to get the other shape by the same manufacturer because I enjoy this one so much. I saw them go to it when I first put it out, but I think the water was too hot and they never went back.
Everything fits together nicely, It hangs straight and secure. I'm glad I got it. It's really pretty, much more so than I expected.
I have two feeders, the other isn't used by the birds. The parts that look brass are actually plastic, but they are threaded and well made. It is worth the money.
This one they use everyday. I love it.This feeder was easy to put together and fill.
