One of the most important features of  Humming bird feeders are that they are easy to clean and fill. You don’t want feeders that are tricky to disassemble and clean as over time, food will get stuck into the cracks and crevices which will tarnish its functionality and durability.

The feeder should be east to rinse in order to wipe the residue nectar away and prevent it becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Hummingbirds are really attracted to the color red and it always attracts their attention.

The whole feeder does not have to be red, only a small portion of it. Contrastingly, you should avoid feeders that have the color yellow as this will attract wasps and bees. They are competitive animals and will do their best to keep birds away from the feeder. If you don’t know what size feeder you need, start small and gauge your demand from there.

Nectar can spoil quickly if it hasn’t been drunk for a few days so you don’t want to have a large feeder that wastes food. Outlined below are two of the best choices of humming bird feeders that are currently on the market.

The #1 Choice

The best hummingbird feeder on the market is the First Nature 3055 32-ounce Hummingbird Feeder. It is a bright red color that will easily gain the attention of any hummingbirds and attract them to your garden. It is extremely easy to fill thanks to the mouth jar reservoirs that are extra wide.

The product can be easily disassembled and is very straightforward and simple to clean and fill. It is a plastic based product which means that it won’t be easily broken and is not as heavy as other materials. Several hummingbirds can use the feeding ports at any moment in time.

You don’t have to worry about mixing the nectar solution elsewhere as the proportions can be correctly mixed in the feeder jar itself, meaning less mess and hassle for you. There is a handy hook on the top which allows you to hang the product from any suitable place.

Pros

Many of the products on the market today are difficult and time consuming to clean. That is not the case with this product, it is very easy to clean and clean it thoroughly at that.

Cons

There are some durability concerns with the plastic when the feeder is used in more testing conditions. The components may disassemble and come apart if not tightly screwed together if they are regularly exposed to high winds.

The #2 Choice

Everything is very well contained which give sit a smart function and appearance. The feeding tubes are decorated with four flowers and the red color makes it very attractive to hummingbirds. The ant moat prevents one of the most common problems when using nectar as feed.

Cons

This will result in spills and a shorter life of the product. If it is not tightly assembled, it will be prone to leaks at the bottom of the fixture.
