Amazon Has A Leak-Proof Bird Feeder That's Great For Attracting Hummingbirds

Every bird lover knows the joy of watching a flock of hummingbirds flutter around the yard. While these small, shy birds are not uncommon, they won't appear on your property unless there's something they want to drink. Draw the birds out with a feeder full of sugar water — an essential feature for attracting hummingbirds to your garden. There is a wide range of models to choose from; however, some types of hummingbird feeders, like inverted bottle feeders, may start to leak sugar water onto greenery sitting below, which can be detrimental, since sugar water attracts pests and cannot be taken up by plant roots. To avoid this (and stop wasting hummingbird nectar), consider a leak-proof hummingbird feeder. 

The eWonLife 2-pack saucer hummingbird feeders are one leak-proof option available on Amazon. They aren't perfect, and some users point out that the design can be improved, but they still cost less than $20 for two and have a current rating of 4.4 stars based on over 10,000 reviews. These feeders have two main parts: a transparent nectar chamber shaped like a flat donut and a bright red cover, which has holes for the birds to sip nectar and a perch for them to sit. As one Amazon reviewer put it, these are "definitely a hummingbird attraction." 

Along with recognizing how much hummingbirds enjoy these feeders, customers also laud the product for being extremely low-maintenance. According to another reviewer, the eWonLife feeder is "the easiest thing in life to put together, disassemble and clean." This is an important factor to keep in mind when purchasing any hummingbird feeder, as frequent cleaning is necessary to keep the feeders free of mold (don't let this deter you from setting up a feeder — you can easily clean hummingbird feeders with two kitchen ingredients: vinegar and warm water). As for assembly, the red lid simply slides over the hook and onto the base, which can be a detriment or a benefit depending on the user. While some reviewers appreciate the simple design that lets you refill it quickly to keep hummingbirds coming back, others say the lid is prone to lifting and wish it would screw on. 

Many small details make this feeder stand out. Since it comes with a hanger, it can be easily set up anywhere in the garden, and hummingbirds will flock to the feeder when you hang it at the perfect height. Its lid is also sloped so water won't pool on it, but reviewers also note that the dome shape can make it difficult for hummers to drink if the sugar water level is too low. If you keep your feeder clean and full, this design could be the perfect solution to replace a leaky hummingbird feeder.
