Best types of hummingbird feeders explained

Design: Look for feeders with a design that is easy to clean and refill. Preferably, choose ones that have removable parts for thorough cleaning

Material: Opt for feeders made from glass or high-quality plastic. Glass is easier to clean and more durable

Capacity: Consider the feeder's capacity based on how frequently you want to refill it. Larger feeders hold more nectar and require less frequent refilling

Perches: Look for feeders with perches or feeding ports that accommodate hummingbirds comfortably.

Bee Guards: Choose feeders with built-in bee guards or bee-resistant designs. These features help keep bees and other insects away from the nectar

UV Resistance: Ensure the feeder is UV-resistant if it's made from plastic. UV-resistant materials prevent the feeder from becoming brittle or discolored over time

Ease of Hanging: Check how easy it is to hang or mount the feeder. Look for feeders with sturdy hooks or hangers that can support the weight of the feeder when filled with nectar
