Recommended Hummingbird Feeders

Here are 2 of our FAVORITE hummingbird feeders that we recommend on a daily basis in our small retail wild bird store.

#1 Any Aspect's Hummingbird Feeder

Aspect's make a great hummingbird feeder, that your favorite bird will use for years. Here are the reasons to purchase one of these feeders

  • They don't leak - Probably the #1 concern of people feeding hummingbirds is that their current feeder leaks which causes a sticky, ant infested mess. This feeder is designed not to leak.
  • Resist Bees - The Aspect line of feeders have a small rubber attachment that you can purchase if bees become a problem at your feeder. These rubber stoppers keep nectar from getting too high in the feeding port. If you hate bees, this is the ticket. They are called Nectar Guard Tips - Click Here for Pricing
  • Built in "Ant Moat" - Ants love sugar water. There are several types of barriers you can purchase to keep ants away from the hummingbird nectar. But if you purchase an Aspect's feeder the ant moat is built in! Right smack dab in the middle of the unit is a spot for water - turns out if you keep that spot filled with water the ants will not cross it.
  • Warranty - All Aspect feeders have an unlimited warranty. Something breaks just call them and a replacement will be sent. This is exactly why you don't buy a "knock-off" product. When the raccoon rips your feeder off the hook, you're going to need that new part. Just call them at 1-888-277-3287.

#2 The Best-1 Hummingbird Feeder

The Best-1 company is a family-owned business that has been making this same feeder since the mid 1970s. Nothing fancy here, just 3 easy parts that will last for years. These are bottle feeders. You flip the bottle, fill it up, put the bottom pieces on, take it outside and flip it up-right.

  • The feeding ports are very small - Perfect for a hummingbird's tongue, yet small enough to keep the bees away.
  • They do not leak - Even if they sway in the wind they will not spill. It would take a raccoon holding it sideways to make it drip.
  • Two Sizes - The base is the same for both bottles. It comes in a 16oz and 32oz size.
  • Inexpensive - The Best-1 will be one of the more economical hummingbird feeders you will find.
