bird feeders

I have had one of these for four years, and it's a nice feeder, except, as others have noted here, the plastic part you hang it with is just glued on, and it fell off not long after I got the feeder. Luckily the feeder was hanging over soft mulch in the veggie garden and not the rocks by the foundation of the house, so the glass globe did not break. I re-attached the hanger with Plumber's Goop (ranked next to duct tape in importance as a "Handyman's Secret Weapon") and it held OK. The problem seems to be that whatever Opus is using for an adhesive simply does not bond plastic to glass very well. Also, the little hole for inserting the s-hook is pretty small -- I ended up using thin wire instead. Yet another problem is that the glass globe is difficult to clean inside by hand (we don't have a dishwasher) because the hole is too small to admit the average bottle brush. Because of all this futzing around, I'm only giving it three stars, even though the hummingbirds love it and it look pretty when the sun shines through the glass.

I purchased this model last summer. The plastic hook broke off very soon after it was hung. It appears to have been simply glued onto the top of the feeder. I have made several unsuccessful attempts to to reattach the hook. The feeder is now useless.

I have enjoyed using this Hummingbird Feeder but find it difficult to keep cleaned. But the size if perfect for hummingbirds and works well in my yard.
