Product Description: Designed to bring hummingbirds right to a window for close observation, this feeder mounts quickly on glass with two suction cups and remains secure. It's made of tempered glass to resist scratching, has a capacity of 14 ounces, and slides on and off the mounting bracket for simple, easy refilling. (Nectar not included.) There are two plastic flower-blossom feeding stations with bee guards and perches. The feeder weighs 1-1/2 pounds, sticks out 3-1/4 inches from a window, and is 8-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews
nice idea
The window attachment did not work with this hummingbird feeder. Had to improvise putting it on a pole with some wire.

Nice form, fit and function!
Nice product, durable, easy to fill and refill, although we did have considerable difficulty getting the bracket off of the feeder the first time, could be difficult for elderly or infirm.

Fatal Flaw in Design
While it seems intuitively obvious, I nonetheless read the instructions on how to mount this. Then I did what it said: cleaned the window, attached the suction cups to the feeder, wet the cups and pressed it against the window. Only problem is this: the plastic rim on the back of the unit around the suction cups prevents you from firmly pressing the cups against the window. Result: the unit stayed put for less than 30 minutes before falling off and breaking into sticky mess.
Something in the design or installation of this unit needs to change.

Read the installation instructions carefully
This is the best hummer feeder I've ever had, because you can get so close to them. The reviewers that stated the plastic frame prevents the suction cups from adhering didn't follow the instructions for installing it properly. Admittedly, the instructions are poor. But if you follow them correctly, it works well with a strong bond. I gave one to my parents for Christmas. They hung it up Christmas day and within a few hours, there were several hummingbirds feasting on it. It isn't the easiest feeder to refill, but it is worth the trouble to get such a close look at these fascinating little birds. All my friends that see this want one.

The birds love them
The only problem I had was the shipping. I had ordered 4 feeders. Each came in a seperate box. Three came in square boxes leaving plenty of room for external impacts. The 4th came in a thinner box and arrived broken. Why they used a different box is beyond me. I did get a refund but really wanted 4 feeders. The feeders themselves are great. The birds love them. They attach to the window very tightly. If you install the suction cups first there should be no problems with them staying put. They also have a larger opening in the base(where the bottle attaches) than most feeders. This will make cleaning the base much easier.
