Hand Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeders

Approximately 4.5” diameter. $38.

The hummingbirds just love our bright colored hand blown glass. Watch them from your kitchen window as they buzz around and drink from this one of a kind hummingbird feeder. Designed to hang on the porch or out in your garden, each feeder holds approximately 24oz to 32oz of fluid. Refer to the Hot Air Balloons page for a variety colors and styles to choose from.

Feeding the hummingbirds:

You can make your own nectar by dissolving one part granulated sugar in four parts boiling water. Cool and refrigerate until you're ready to fill your feeder.

Do not use artificial sweeteners. They contain no nutritional value and could cause severe malnutrition, especially if used for a long period of time.

When you introduce the feeder to your yard, place it in an open area so birds can easily access it from all directions. You may wish to place the feeder near natural feeding areas such as shrubs and gardens. Once birds have discovered the feeder, you can gradually move it (a few feet each day) to your preferred viewing spot.

Filling your blown glass feeder:

The following tricks will help you prevent leaks in stopper-style gravity feeders.

A stopper-style feeder stays leak-free only if it is kept airtight. If air bubbles get in, nectar can trickle out. Pour nectar all the way to the very top, almost overflowing it each time you fill it up. Place the rubber stopper firmly in the feeder opening, leaving about 1/4 of its length outside the feeder.  You will see nectar squirt out the tip of the stopper and all the air has now been removed from the glass.

Caring for your feeder:

Change the solution once a week regardless of whether the feeder has been emptied. Nectar left in a feeder over long periods of time could ferment and cause birds to stop feeding.

Do not use soaps or detergents when cleaning the feeder as they may cause birds to stop feeding. Just hand wash and rinse the feeder with warm water. Do not use a dishwasher to clean your feeder as the extreme heat could cause the hand blown glass to crack.
