Title: Made in USA - some tips for Noobs
Review: This hummingbird feeder has worked out very well for me. It is made in Texas USA and very sturdy. It's also easy to disassemble and clean. Its is made of glass and a two part plastic base. I wonder if the one star reviews that I've seen for it on Amazon are from competitors but there's no way to tell.Here are some tips and tricks that got the hummingbirds coming on the regular to our feeder and flowers.Don't use food coloring - why? because clear nectar lets you see if it is cloudy. If the nectar is cloudy change it! That cloudiness if from bacteria and the hummingbirds are done with it then. I've not seen any preservatives listed in commercial nectar so the bright red color might help sell the product but it didn't help me get hummingbirds. That leads to the next tip...Make small batches - the ratio of table sugar to water is 1 to 3 so three parts water to one part sugar. I only use 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar. That lasts a couple of days here in Indy for me before they drink it or it goes cloudy. I boil the water and clean the feeder but it doesn't really delay the cloudiness. Probably the hummingbirds themselves introduce the bacteria.Ants! - at first I had issues with ants. Dead ants and no hummingbirds. So here are a couple of tricks. I used Vicks vapor rub on the hanging hook and then hung the feeder from 10# monofilament fishing line. Apparently they don't like one and can't climb the other. Since then 0 ants.Mexican Sunflower - I planted this annual to attract monarch butterflies. It did that but also the hummingbirds love it too. So buy some seeds and plant them in the spring near your feeders. They grow about five feet tall and have many red/orange blooms that look like daisies (same size and form). The year after you can plant bunches more from the harvested seed heads. What could be better than monarchs and hummingbirds?So when it comes to hummingbird feeders trust in the USA and Mexico to get it done plus some mono fishing line. And make your own darn nectar and pitch it when it gets cloudy -old man out!

Title: Excellent hummingbird feeder - if don't use the basin cover!!!!
Review: The Best-1 feeder is one of my favorite feeders. I have been using the Best-1 feeder for about 20 years. I purchase several each year for attrition (occasional clumsy breakage) and to give as gifts.I DO NOT USE THE FEEDER'S BASIN COVER which has holes that comes with this feeder and 'sits' between the red dish and the glass jar (see this deadly reason and reason for 4 star rating BELOW.). I just omit the cover and fill the jar with sugar water (see recipe below), then screw on the red basin/dish and when outside next to the hanger, invert quickly then hang. The hummingbirds learn to drink from the open uncovered red dish. The uncovered dish is so deep that insects (e.g., bees, ants, gnats, wasps, etc.) do not get in unless the feeder goes dry.The PROBLEM WITH THE BASIN COVER FOR the Best-1 feeder (4 stars) - may or may not happen. I DON'T USE the cover of the dish with the holes, as SOMETIMES, Hummingbirds HAVE GOTTEN THEIR BILLS STUCK IN THE HOLES OF THE BASIN COVER. (I've seen them try to avoid an aggressive bird while feeding and pull out their bill at an angle and get stuck. I have seen them flying off after freeing themselves on their own, or remain stuck (struggling) until I free them. I have also seen them die instantly or eventually after getting stuck. I have heard that beveled holes helped, which I do not recall the earliest feeders covers having. These feeder covers DO HAVE BEVELED HOLES, but think still an issue, though likely less so, as I tried again! One dead bird is too much. I just don't USE and don't NEED the basin cover with the holes.It is important to not put out more sugar water (food) than can be CONSUMED in a DAY and DISCARD unused sugar water daily. Start fresh daily. (Zoos change much much more often, minutes.) If don't change daily, the sugar water will thicken/concentrate and the jar and dish will get moldy/UNHEALTHY!!! If make surplus sugar water, keep in the refrigerator. CLEAN the feeders daily to prevent mold on the inside of the jar and red basin (not pretty -REALLY!) and outside of the jar. (Prevent insects from being attracted to the dirty outside of the feeder too. Hummingbirds are aggressive and will chase off another hummingbird, so the fleeing bird can be seen spitting on the feeder, so the outside of the jar and dish become dirty/sticky too. Doesn't seem to be an insect or mold problem, if jar cleaned daily.) I wash the feeder daily either by putting the glass jar upside down in the dishwasher (with the hanging wire down swiveled down out of the way of the wand) and the plastic-like red dishes in the upper rack (no heat setting). Alternatively, I wash with the jar and dish with soapy water, rinse with water, then rinse clean with a little distilled (5%) vinegar.)(During the spring and summer and fall, I put out 1 gallon of sugar water a day in 4 of these feeders (and the left over in 1 additional "flying" feeder (different brand / no perch)).. That is 4 cups/2# of sugar per day or 14 pounds per week or 56 pounds per month!!! (In this habitat, I have put out more sugar water (e.g., 2 gallons/day), and could put out even more, as more birds will come, but I limit it to 1 gallon/day.)Remember to mix the sugar water: add 4 cups of water (filtered or boiled/then cooled) to 1 cup of CANE SUGAR.. No food color needed. (The hummingbirds will figure it out and the feeder's red base color will attract them.Note: These feeders will last a very long long time. I do recommend gluing (2 large spots of hot glue or super glue) the open metal band to the glass jar. (Do not glue near the hanger on the metal band, so it can still swing free.). You won't regret. The feeders will last longer, as sometimes the metal bands bend or loosen and the jars become loose (fall/break.) We redo the glue as needed (likely as we wash the jars in the dishwasher.) The perches on the red dishes might also become brittle due to the sunlight and the dishwasher, so replace these about every 5 years, [Wish these were metal (e.g., aluminium, stainless steel bases, etc.)]Keep all feeders away from windows to prevent collisions with glass. Find ways to prevent windows from reflecting sky and make sure that light from a window on the opposite side of the house is not apparent. (Try to replace windows with "bird" glass, glass that birds can 'see'.) Make sure birds can't see through the house from one window on one side of the house with a window on the opposite side of the house (e.g., close curtains so birds can see glass, etc.), especially in unused rooms. Also paint guy wires (and wire fences) white and remove any unnecessary guy wires and fences. (Think of replacing guy wires and fences with poles.)Always BETTER TO PRESERVE AND CONSERVE NATIVE HABITAT THAN FEED WILDLIFE!

Title: Faulty Clamp!
Review: I've been buying this model of feeder for years and have always loved it. I think they have switched to a cheaper metal clamp. It does not hold and the bottle falls off and breaks. I've had this happen to two feeders in the last couple of months. I hope the manufacturer fixes this. In the meantime, I'll have to buy another brand of feeder.

Review: This is the best feeder we have ever owned. It is easily cleaned, has no flowery parts to clean. The birds have a great place to perch. I have two different bottle sizes. One for early in the year, and the larger one for breeding time. I have recently bought two more for gifts.

Review: If you have lots of hummingbirds this is the only feeder to buy. The indicator on the side helps to identify how many birds you are feeding in a day. Larger birds (woodpeckers, Orioles) don’t tip the feeder when they sit on it so your fluid does Not run out all over the ground (or your deck). The rings allow for a number of hummers’ to sit side by side and feed. We have had mothers feed I g their babies at the feeder and teaching their babies how to eat from the feeder - very cute.

Customers say

Customers like the ease of cleaning and bird feeder. They mention it's super easy to take apart and clean, and the base comes apart for easy cleaning. Some are satisfied with how well it holds a lot, works well, and has leak resistance. However, some customers have mixed opinions on the build quality, design, and bee protection.
