The 5 Best Hummingbird Feeders Depending On Your Yard Needs
By TIFFANY SELVEY
1. Best Overall
The Hanging Hummingbird Feeder has a round, flat design that makes it easier to clean. The top is red to attract birds, the bottom is clear, and it includes an ant moat.
These feeders also have a perch for a hummingbird to sit on. Costing $9.95 on Amazon, this feeder is easy to clean and provides a safe food source, making it a favorite.
2. Best Budget Feeder
If you’re on a budget, check out Walmart’s First Nature Hummingbird Feeder, which can hold up to 16 ounces of nectar. It’s easy to clean and is bee and wasp resistant.
It’s a great option for those with a large hummingbird population. Since this feeder is only $4.18, it’s perfect for those just starting the process who want to have more than one.
3. Best Window Mounted Feeder
The Redboat Window Hummingbird Feeder holds 10 ounces of nectar and attaches to your window with heavy-duty suction cups. It has an ant moat and is super easy to clean.
This feeder, costing $21.99, has suction cups that aren’t attached to the feeder. You can lift off the reservoir portion for cleaning and then slide it back on after refilling it.
4. Best Ornamental Feeder
The WOSIBO Hummingbird Feeder is a colorful hand-blown nectar reservoir that offers four “flower” feeding holes. It is slightly more difficult to clean, but easy to take apart.
This $26.99 feeder comes with an external ant moat that connects via the hook on top, keeping ants out. The moat is pretty small, so you’ll need to refill it with water frequently.
5. Best Handheld Feeder
If you have the patience to sit still and earn the trust of a hummingbird, try the ZUMMR Hummingbird Ring Feeder. It’s best used in areas with an established hummingbird populace.
The $4.99 ring feeder only has one hole and holds just a little bit of nectar. If this is your first try attracting hummingbirds, you might be sitting there for a while.
