Perky-Pet® Planter Box Plastic Hummingbird Feeder with Hanger

I was so excited I bought two !! But both of them leak out the hole so I’m wasting the food

Hummers seem to like this feeder, but the feeding hole is too large and all the food leaks out in less than a day. Costs too much to keep food available for the birds. This is a real problem.

feeder works very well however we have lost both bee guards. called the mfg. and was told they do not sell replacement bee guards. apparently you have to buy whole new units. this does not make sense as they are being made for the new units. why are they not available as replacements? perhaps it is not profitable for them to sell replacements. not nice!!!

I was so excited about this product, but it leaked out in less than 4 hours. I tried again and got the same results. It's a great idea but a really poor design. I also feel that you should have instructions on the packaging on how to use this product and how to get best results. If you would have, I wouldn't have bought it. I'll stick with my conventional feeders.

I’m disappointed with this feeder. The nectar leaks out, especially if it’s in the sun. I’d return it, but I’ve lost the receipt. I may take it back anyway, just to let the retailer know it’s not a good product.

Good over all feeder easy to use and clean, hanger is not sturdy so made my own. Biggest complaint is the bug guards break in the first season they get brittle and Perky Pet does not sell replacements. The bug guards they do sell are to large to use on this feeder. So I have to keep buying new feeders each year and this year the dealers in my area say they are unable to get the feeders.

This is a re-review of this product. The first one leaked. Customer service responded and urged me to contact them, which I did. They promptly sent out a replacement, which does NOT leak. Not sure why, since they look identical. Such great customer service deserves 5 stars. BTW, I think i was able to fix the leaky one. I used a toothpick and put a very small amount of superglue on the inside of the hole, therby reducing the diameter by a small amount. It no longer leaks. But, I have not yet confirmed that birds can feed from it after this modification.

I bought this at my local garden center. All the fluid dripped/leaked out in a short period of time. At first I though it might have been because the mixture was still warm when filled. So, tried letting it come to room temp, tried cooler (right out of fridge) and tried ambient outside temp. Turned it over quickly as suggested. Not in sun. I have exhausted all methods I can think of, but it all leaks out over a few hours (at most). The only use is to attract ants on the floor of my porch. Cute idea, but worthless to me.

Love these feeders! They are easy to clean and the hummers love them too. Unfortunate that they no longer make the bee guards. Will need to find a similar brand then they wear out☹️

Poorly engineered, a breeze knocks it off the thin wire. Tried to reset it but the wire spins and drops the feeder. After 2 drops the bee guard split and the port cracked. Not happy!
