AspectsMini HummBlossom Hummingbird Feeder, 4 oz, Rose, red, 5"" x 5.5"" x 2.4""" (433)

I have two of these feeders which could be called "Hummzinger Mini", since the design is basically the same as the Hummzingers, but these are 4 fl oz instead of 8,12, or 16. I have three of the 8 oz and one 12 oz Hummzinger also.Overall, the Hummzinger family is an excellent design, and that is true for the Hummblossom version as well as the bigger ones. You will see a multitude of reviews that attest to that.So you will probably find that the Hummzinger family is the best choice if you want a hummingbird feeder. You then need to decide what size, and hi bar versus low bar. The Hummblossom I think maybe only comes in hi bar.1). Hi bar versus low bar. Advantage of hi bar is that you can see the birds better, and it perhaps makes it easier for the birds to keep watch while they are drinking. Overall, I feel there is not a major difference between hi bar and low bar. My one low bar 8 oz Hummzinger is the one I have in front of my front room window where I go past frequently, I think the low bar profile allows the hummers to be a little less conspicuous there and thus perhaps not quite as nervous about using the feeder when a human is watching.Addendum: While hummer seem to be fine with both hi bar and low bar (this one is hi bar), I have lately been setting out two high bar 8 oz hummzingers and two low bar ones and the low bar ones are getting quite a bit more useage. I believe they prefer because they are less conspicuous and/or because it is more comfortable to perch on the low bar and not have to bend over to get their beak in the feeder hole.2). Size. Factors to consider when choosing size:a). One issue I just discovered is that if the temperature goes below freezing, the Hummblossom is less desirable than the hummzingers. We had our first 20 degree F day today and there was slush in the Hummblossom feeders while the Hummzingers were still all liquid. (I use the 1:4 sugar to water ratio nectar that most experts recommend) If you are in a climate that gets down to 20F or lower then you should consider the Hummzingers instead of this small one.b). Useage: If you get heavy useage you would naturally want to go with a larger size of feeder than the Hummblossom. I have gravitated toward putting the Hummblossoms in places where they are easy to get toWe have Anna's hummingbirds here. I have always refilled my feeders before they got below about 1/3 full, so I don't know whether the Anna's could reach the very bottom if the nectar got down close to empty, but I suspect they can reach the very bottom. As far as I can ascertain the depth on this entire family of feeders is the same.The hummingbirds here tend to drink up about 1/2-2/3 of the nectar in these feeders within 4 days, which is the frequency that I replace the nectar. The Hummblossoms don't tend to be depleted much faster than the Hummzingers. But useage will depend a lot on the placement. If you have let us say 6 feeders, like I do, then there may be several that get monopolized by one single bird, and you will be able to pretty much tell that is what is going on because you will find those feeders still have a lot of nectar left when it's time to put fresh nectar in. In general you can play around with the placement to see by trial and error what maximizes the useage of the nectar. Also, you can observe the birds. When I had a feeder around the corner from the one monopolized by the bird I call "the bouncer", I noticed that she would fly back and forth between the two feeders. So she was monopolizing two feeders and preventing other birds from using them. So I removed one of those and put it in a tree in my backyard instead.3). Hanging: I use a wood pole with an eye bolt on the end to place feeders on hooks that are too high up for me to reach without a ladder. The small hook on the Hummblossom makes them harder to place and remove with such a tool than the larger Hummzingers that have a bigger hook. Also, because these are smaller I like to keep a close watch on the nectar in these so they don't run out. So the Hummblossoms I have place on the deck of my house where they are close at hand, I can see them easily from inside the house, and I can reach them by hand when I need to clean and refill them.4). The Hummzingers are probably more conducive to sharing by the hummers. I have only seen a case of the Annas feeding together about once a week or so. Yesterday I saw a male and a female feeding together in one feeder. The male hangs out in a magnolia tree near the feeder and is presumably the "dominant" owner of this particular feeder. On the other hand I have a feeder on the opposite corner of the house that is controlled by a female I call "the bouncer" and I have only once seen her share the feeder, and that was with what looked like another female, but may have been one of her offspring since female and juvenile Annas look similar.I believe I did see two hummers share the Hummblossom once, however, so the size of the feeder may matter a lot less than simply the relationships between the birds.Bottom line: This family of feeders is excellent. People comment they are quite expensive for what you get, which is correct, but it's still not a major expense, so just bite the bullet and spend the money to get the good hummingbird feeder.Hopefully these observations on my part regarding the various different feeders in the Hummzinger/Hummblossom family may help someone select one that fits best with their needs.One more thing: Regarding feeder size: I would say a typical hummingbird seems to drink about 1/2 fl oz of nectar per day. Thus, if you replace the nectar about every four days, as I do, then a hummblossom holds enough for two hummers. My feeders usually are fed on by 1-2 hummingbirds. So for the amount of hummingbirds we have around here, the hummblossom holds enough nectar. In fact, when I use the larger feeders like the 8 oz, I usually only fill them partway, so that there will be less nectar I have to throw out. I see neighbors who have the old fashioned feeders that have the big column of nectar, and it seems to me they must be throwing out a whole lot of nectar, unless they just leave the feeder out a lot longer before replacing the nectar, which would be unhealthy for the birds. I have read stories of people who have tons of hummers and they drink up massive amounts of nectar, and there those large-capacity feeders would make sense. But at least for the area I live in (Vancouver WA), the hummzinger/hummblossom feeders have just about the right capacity.

we get anywhere from 3 to 11 hummers in a day...we have four of these scattered through the habitat and they are very busy during breeding time...some are nearly empty in 2 days...these are very easy to clean...the only issue we had this late summer was bees feeding on these...as flowers were dying and natural nectar was becoming scarce...the openings on these are fairly large and I learned that the bees can get down into these nearly a quarter inch...the way we solved it was...we took feeders down for a day...did a total clean on them ...put them up the next dayand did not fill the feeders as high...bees came and checked the feeders out...but they were not able to feed...these are the most popular feeder with our hummers

I can’t even begin to tell you how many hummingbird feeders I have had over the years. We live in Georgia and the food spoils quickly. These are small enough that they seem to finish it before it goes bad and even if it goes bad I’m not throwing out much sugar water. And they are so easy to clean. Very happy with these and would highly recommend.

Great size- easy to fill, easy to clean and doesn’t waste food when I need to fill daily during hot weather. The design also deters bees/wasps. Hummingbirds love it.

I only get a couple or a few hummingbirds each year. I bought this little feeder and am so happy with it, doesn’t drip, doesn’t attract bees, easy to clean. I don’t waste as much nectar as with my larger size feeder. Seems high quality, looks nice, and best of all the hummers love it!!!!

The media could not be loaded.  We’ve enjoyed watching the hummingbirds visit the bottle feeders hung on our deck hooks for years. But this month we were so infested with yellow jackets, in spite of all efforts to deter them, that we were unable to sit on our deck. We were stumped, until we tried these, hung from window hooks. Our little friends took to them immediately, and we get a much closer view of them, even from inside! We loved them so much we bought the larger capacity model to hang from our deck hooks as well. Our hummingbird friends are happy, the little pests are thwarted, and we’re again enjoying coffee and cocktails on our deck. Extra bonus ~ they’re MUCH easier to clean and refill than the bottle style feeders, no leaking. We’re big fans!

The media could not be loaded.  I got this feeder because of the size. Hummingbirds are notoriously territorial so it’s best to have multiple feeders around for them and it’s a chore to refill a bunch of large feeders. So this feeders small size was perfect.I also love that it’s easy to clean which is very important for me since I live in Arizona and have to clean/refill feeders often due to the heat (to prevent mold/bad bacteria growth).I’ve also had leaking issues with other feeders that are top filled, so I prefer feeders like this because I have no issues with leaking.I would 100% recommend and will be buying more. But make sure to buy an ant moat with it!!

Feeder is nice. I love that it looks like glass. Its on the expensive side for plastic though, but still attractive. I probably wouldnt purchase any more due to the price. I could live with a cheaper looking one for a fraction of the price.

Of all the many feeders I have had, this is the best. Most important, super easy to clean. Contents visible. Has a perch, the birds utilize it frequently. Wish I had found it years ago, will never have any other kind.

Hummingbirds came after a week. Easy to clean. They even used the perch, so cute! Its big enough for us because we dont get that many of them. But its really a great addition to the garden

This is far better than the pear shaped hanging one I had as the ants cannot get into it. When I first put it out to replace my old styled one, the Hummers didn't bother with it. I wrote to the company of my concern about this and was very glad to receive a reply back from them about it. They said to just give it more time and soon the birds will get used to it being there and begin using it. It took about 3 weeks, but the Hummingbirds did finally grow accustomed to it and now frequent it. I'm back to being able to enjoy watching them again. Lovely product!......(and caring company).

American made. Came fast. Good quality. Lifetime warranty. My friend uses 2 of these on her balcony and they attract loads of hummingbirds. I saw hers and bought two myself in December 2017. They will bring a lifetime of pleasure. No leaks, easy to clean and fill. They have a ledge for the birds to perch on. I love my purchase! Postscript: I originally bought 2 of these and today (13th Jan 2018) bought one more. After using them for 6 weeks, I can confirm hummingbirds love them.

arrived quickly & was exactly as expected. I got this particular feeder because I like to photograph hummers & the big bottle type feeders get in my photos, where as this style doesn't clutter up your photo.The small size of it is perfect, because I only have a few hummers around & it's more than enough to feed them between cleaning & refilling needs, which is super easy to do with this feeder too.
