In this post, I review two hummingbird feeders: Aspects HummZinger Hummingbird Feeder Review and the Perky Pet Mason Jar Hummingbird Feeder Review. These are the two types I used to use in my yard. Each is a little different, but both are designed to attract those fascinating tiny hummingbirds.
Note: The reviews in this post are for two feeders I’ve used in the past. The hummingbird feeder I now use and have used for the past few years is Mosaic’s Small Glass Hummingbird Feeder.
White-Breasted Nuthatch, House Finches, American Goldfinch & Northern Cardinal Eating Sunflower Hearts in Birds Choice Hanging Platform Feeder (Dome Purchased Separately)
Over the past few years, as my bird-watching passion has grown, I’ve purchased quite a few feeders. Some feeders have been clear winners from the start. Others have needed some tweaking to make them work for the birds in my yard. If you have considered purchasing a hanging platform bird feeder, read on!
Squirrel Buster Plus Review: If you made me pick one bird feeder for my yard, I might go with the Squirrel Buster Plus. This feeder takes a lot of stress out of bird feeding. As the name tells you, Brome designed the Squirrel Buster Plus to defeat squirrels that want to pilfer the seed you put out for birds.
There are many feeders that try to do this, but in my experience, this feeder actually succeeds. (I’ve used two of these feeders in my yard for years.) Even if a squirrel gets on this feeder, he doesn’t do more than slide around on it or dangle. He doesn’t get to eat from it. After a few unsuccessful tries, they generally leave it alone.
