Perfection!
I live on the coast of Maine and hung my first bird feeder in February of 2011. Even though there have always been birds here, even I was surprised at how many descended upon my one rather overwhelmed Brome Squirrel Buster Plus. I immediately purchased more seed feeders but I was caught off guard when a male Ruby Throated Hummingbird landed in my yard on a damp chilly day in early May. He looked at me and his expression seemed to say 'I just flew all the way here from Central America. Where's MY food?Of course, I was completely unprepared for him. So, I ran off to the store and discovered the Hummzinger High View. It seemed like a very well thought out design, and it looked to be of high quality. But how would my hummingbird like it? Well, not only did he use it, he often simply sat on the elevated perch for long periods. Soon after, the females began arriving. This led to some skirmishes around the feeder, so three more had to be purchased. The investment paid off. Several weeks later one of the females constructed a nest on a tree limb right next to the house. And so I was fortunate to watch as two new hummingbirds came into the world. The fledglings also happily adopted the feeders.
The Hummzinger High View has the following positive attributes:
1.) Lifetime Guarantee - Will not break or fade
2.) Very easy to clean
3.) Flying & crawling insect resistant
4.) You can purchase 'Nectar Guard' tips which make the feeder truly insect proof
5.) Made in the USA
6.) Aspects Inc. is known for excellent customer service
7.) Birds can perch while they feed (this allows them to conserve vital energy)
8.) Birds are easy to view due to the high perching position
9.) Birds can easily achieve a comfortable feeding position.
I can think of nothing negative to say about this feeder. Perhaps it could be somewhat larger (for those of you who have MANY hummingbirds), but I cleaned the feeders nearly every day during the summer. So, for me, capacity was never a problem.
