We have a hummingbird feeder!

A Hummingbird feeder is ready to be put up!

It is best to locate the feeder in a shaded area.  

Birds feel more secure with trees and shrubs nearby.


16 ounce nectar capacity with 8 feeding ports, allowing hummingbirds eat nectar at the same time.

Built-in ants and insects moat prevent insects into the feeder effectively.

Hanging rod opening, can be hung the feeder on the hook or tree.

Notes: 
When the capacity of the nectar in the box is reduced to half, you should add nectar in time. 
The Hummingbird Feeder should be cleaned every few days. If the weather is warm, clean it to be more frequent.
