This style of hanging hummingbird feeder has always been popular. They’re very simple to maintain, easy to refill, and attract a lot of hummingbirds if you place them correctly. This option from Aspects comes with a built-in ant moat and is very popular on Amazon. This is probably my favorite all around hummingbird feeder, especially with the added ant moat.
2. First Nature 3055 32-ounce Hummingbird Feeder
Features
- The bright red color attracts hummingbirds
- Easy to refill and easy to clean
- The feeding ports will accommodate several hummer’s at a time
- Very inexpensive
- Holds 32 oz of nectar
I have one of these simple feeders in my backyard right now. These hummingbird feeders from First Nature are nothing fancy, but they’re super inexpensive and actually made pretty well. Now they are made of a rather flimsy plastic so don’t expect it to be as high quality some that are more expensive. Overall though you get a great bang for your buck and they will last you a while if you take care of them.
3. More Birds Vintage Glass Hummingbird Feeder

This is one of the nicest glass hummingbird feeders I’ve come across at an affordable price in this vintage bottle style. The glass itself is actually red which helps attract hummingbirds, and the top of the base is made of metal adding to the antique feel of this feeder. The bottom half of the base is made of a strong and durable plastic, they all connect together for a snug, leak-proof fit. It would also make a great gift for someone that loves hummingbirds.
4. Aspects The Gem Suction Cup Window Hummingbird Feeder

For many people, a window feeder is just a better option. If you live in an apartment or condo or just don’t have much of a yard, a window feeder can be a great compromise. We’ve had great luck with several window hummingbird feeders and this one from Aspects is a great choice. Just be sure to follow their installation instructions closely and clean the glass well before applying the suction cups.
