User questions & answers

Question:	Can I replace the jar with a real wide mouth mason jar
Answer:	I don’t think the opening of this jar is quite as wide as a standard mason jar. So, I would say no.
Question:	Is the perch removable
Answer:	Let me answer in two part as the answer is YES and NO. 1. For filling the feeder YES the perch and the feeding holes component do unscrew from the jar for filling. But if you are asking if the perch can be removed, just to have it removed ... 2. NO. The bottom of the 3 pieces (the perch) needs to be screwed into the jar with the feeder holes part just being the in-between-component.
Question:	is this dishwasher safe
Answer:	Would strongly suggest to just hand wash. I purchased these because of their easy fill capability and this also makes it easy to wash by hand.
Question:	will this attract birds without any red? I dont use dye in my feeder
Answer:	Yes. We do not use any dye in either of our 2 feeders, and the hummingbirds just love eating (drinking?) from them! We have 2 and they are so pretty and easy to clean, which is very important to prevent illness in our little winged friends! We have seen over 10 birds on one feeder at a given time.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many cups of nectar does this hold
Answer:	I know it is more than 2 cups. It might be 3.
Question:	Is this base metal or plastic? Two different answers
Answer:	The bottom is plastic and the top where the flowers are is metal.
Question:	I'm not sure if there are hummingbirds in our area, how do I know if they will come
Answer:	Hummingbirds seem to live everywhere. I put up one feeder 30 years ago having no idea if I would get any. I've always had many hummers. But this year I decided to add a 2d feeder & bought this one. It got such a great response that I threw out my old faithful and bought another of these. Now I can barely keep up with the necter. But do realize that they should be migrating South for the winter so you may not see any. Or you may see lots since they seem to still be on the move and very hungry, at least in my area of northern california. I had dozens this afternoon, but soon they should be gone until spring. They love this feeder.
Question:	Does the base unscrew for easy cleaning
Answer:	Yes it does, and it has a wider mouth so you can actually get into the glass to clean out the jar. Honestly, the best feeder we have and we tried five different ones. The birds prefer it to the red plastic/glass ones we had. The base is all metal so put it in the shade so the metal stays cool. To feed they go down into the flowers as they sit rather than flying and going up into it so with several types of feeders in the yard they always go to these feeders as they drink easier....

Perky-Pet Mason Jar Hummingbird Feeder

The Perky-Pet Glass Mason Jar Hummingbird Feeder is sure to attract Hummingbirds from near and far. The blue color of this bottle is reminiscent of vintage blue glass canning jars used in the 1800's. The Mason jar feeder is a breeze to fill and clean, just unscrew the bottle from the base, fill with nectar, and screw the base back into place - it's that easy!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What criteria should I use when selecting a hummingbird feeder?

A. Make sure it is one that will be easy to clean and fill, especially since you will need to clean the feeder every few days. If you are worried about bees and wasps or ants invading the feeder, purchase a hummingbird feeder with bee guards.

Q. How do I clean my hummingbird feeders?

A. Hummingbird feeders need to be cleaned every 1-2 weeks. Use hot water and a bottle brush, along with mild soap; be sure to rinse thoroughly.

The Perky-Pet cleaning mop is specifically designed for the purpose of cleaning hummingbird feeders, and is very convenient to use. This cleaning mop can also be used on seed feeders and oriole feeders for those small, tight spaces that are difficult to reach.

Q. What is the importance of providing water for hummingbirds?

A. Hummingbirds need fresh, clean water just as much as they need nectar. Hummingbirds stay healthy by using water not just for drinking, but also bathing, cleaning their feathers and to remove parasites. Waterers are better options than bird baths because they provide hummingbirds with fresh, clean water that prevents dirt and debris from contaminating it. In hotter climates or seasons, providing water for hummingbirds makes it easy for them to have access to a water source and retain their energy.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why did you change my billing address?? i did not want it changed. please return it to the original billing address of evelyn welch
Answer:	I don’t know Evelyn Welch.
Question:	The hummers love his feeder, but now I do have ants all over it. Can someone please tell me where the ant moat is
Answer:	What I use for ants is Perky-Pet 245L Ant Guard for Bird Feeders-Single This ant guard does not use water which is a real pain.Since I started using them I have not seen one ant anywhere near the feeders. They are available on Amazon.
Question:	My Perky Pet feeder has to have the bee guards on to keep the honeybees and yellow jackets away. Does this one keep away bees and wasps
Answer:	The most efficient way we have found to keep the bees away is to spray the openings with vegetable spray, like Pam. It doesn't hurt or bother the hummers and the bees don't like it. The ants are another problem altogether. Moats don't work here. The alost microscopic ants will form a bridge out of themselves and march right over. I use a poison called Terro. It comes several ways. It is a liquid. It is sweet and attracts them. They eat it and walk thru it. The then go back to the colony and it ends up wiping it out completely. It comes in different ways, traps etc. With the ants I have they end up filling those completely before it can be completely dispersed. I get it in a bottle and place it in a couple of inconspicuous places along the ants path. I have found a small puddle, about the size of a large pea or a line about 3/4 inch long works the best. It won't kill them immediately because it take time to get it pack to the colony and share it. It can take one to three days but it does wipe them out. I sometimes use a spray beyond the poison I laid out to temporarily stop them. Don't spray before the Terro or you won't get the needed effect/
Question:	Where do you set this feeder? I have no way to hang to,can I just set in on a patio table
Answer:	California girl -- YES, YES, YES, you CAN set it on a flat surface. NO you DON'T HAVE TO HANG a hummingbird feeder. Yes, it is a good idea for the feeder to be red or have something red nearby that will initially attract hummers' attention.IN FACT, you can set out a small flat container - like a lid -- that contains sugar water nectar and the hummers will feed from it. You do NOT have to have the little fake flowers. I've seen hummers land on a person's upturned hand that has a little puddle of nectar water cupped in the palm and eat from the puddle of nectar. I've seen hummers eat from a shallow plate filled with nectar water where the plate was sitting on a patio table. Go to Youtube and look at some of the videos of people feeding hummers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a top-fill feeder
Answer:	No, the cylinder unscrews from the base, you fill it like you would a glass and then screw the base on "upside down" and then turn the feeder over and hang it.
Question:	I'm getting lots of bees on the feeder. Does anyone know a product compatible with this to stop the bees and wasps from drinking the nectar
Answer:	First Nature makes two similar feeders. The one I like has the round holes. They also make one with slots. My hummers don't like the slots, so I stopped using it. The last time I ordered this feeder a month ago, I got the slotted feeder. I do get some bees and wasps. When that happens I move the feeder. The hummers will find it. The bees and wasp may, but not right away.
Question:	Is this feeder glass or plastic
Answer:	this is all plastic. I love that it has perches so they can sit on it while they drink - and they do! I've had other kinds, but this is the only one I use now. I make my own syrup 2/3 c hot water, mixed with 1/3 c sugar, stir til dissolved, add 2/3 c cold water, stir and pour in. I clean it with white vinegar and hot water.
Question:	Any problem with leaking
Answer:	I have of 7 of these feeders. 3 of them are at least 7 years old. The others about 5 years old. Other than faded from the North Texas sun, they all work well and no leaking/sealing issues.

Superior Quality

The high quality materials we use will ensure you and your hummingbirds will enjoy your Wild Wings feeder for years longer than other feeders. This feeder is crafted with thick, durable hand-blown glass. Flower feeding ports are made from durable die-cast aluminum with UV stabilized powder coat. All Leak Free gaskets are made using 100% silicone which, unlike rubber, will not get dry and brittle and crack when exposed to the elements over time. The decorative metal basket is crafted from durable steel and powder coated to prevent rusting and discoloration.

Dishwasher Safe!

One of the more tedious aspects of feeding hummingbirds is that the nectar can often get cloudy and form mold quickly in the heat. All components on this feeder easily remove and are Dishwasher Safe to ensure you can easily maintain a clean feeder without the use of any special cleaning tools.

Easy Fill & Clean

Wide opening enables for easier filling with less spilled nectar. All feeder parts are Dishwasher Safe for easy cleaning.

Hummingbird Perches

Decorative hanging basket has 3 built-in perches for the hummingbirds. Perching enables hummingbirds to rest their wings while feeding, encouraging longer feeding times and extended hummingbird viewing!

Hummingbird Nectar

The formula for hummingbird food is simple: about one part white granulated sugar to four parts water. Boil the water for approximately 2 minutes, add the sugar, and stir to dissolve thoroughly. We do not recommend adding red dye to the nectar mixture. Cover and allow to cool before using or pouring into a clean storage bottle. A large batch of nectar can be made and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. This makes refilling the feeder easy so you won't mind doing it every few days.

You must change the nectar frequently - at least twice a week. The need to change the nectar depends on the temperatures, where the feeder is hung, and number and frequency of hummingbirds feeding at your feeder. If the birds are not emptying your feeder between cleanings, it's unnecessary and wasteful to fill it completely. Fill only with the amount of nectar they will consume in a few days. Over time you will get a feel for how much nectar to put in the feeder. If you notice that the nectar is turning milky, or that white strings or black spots are growing in it, change it more often.

User questions & answers

Question:	does the bSe unscrew or open so you can properly clean it
Answer:	Yes, the bottle unscrews from the base and the base can separate easily into two halves for easy cleaning.
Question:	does it leak at all
Answer:	No it doesn't, but you have to be careful when you hang it up. If you tilt it when you are hanging it then it does spill. Once it's up it doesn't leak.
Question:	Is this real red glass, or it is a red coating
Answer:	August 1, 2013 it would appear that glass was red, now I ordered a slightly different feeder from the same manufactor July 29, 2016 and it is coated. Very disappointing that they cheaped out in the last 3 years and made the product worse.
Question:	what kind of natural formula can you put in this. I don't want to use anything with preservatives or processed sugar
Answer:	Actually, they need the processed sugar. Other sugars have too much iron. What they don’t need is the red dye; it’s very detrimental to them. See the info on hummingbird nectar here: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/migratory-birds/hummingbird-nectar-recipe
