Ruby Saucer Glass Hummingbird Feeder
Archilochus colubris — ruby-throated hummingbird
A low, wide saucer with four flower ports and a built-in ant moat — the shape hummingbirds find quickest and you’ll find easiest to scrub.
Leaves us in 1–2 business days. Standard delivery takes 3–6 business days in the contiguous US — free on orders of $75+, otherwise $7.95. Unused items can be returned within 30 days — see our returns policy.
Field tip: Change nectar every 2–3 days in summer, every 5 days in cool spring weather.
Field notes on this piece
Saucer feeders hold nectar below the ports, so nothing drips in the sun and bees can’t reach the liquid. The tempered-glass top lifts away from the base in one twist, leaving no corners for mold to hide in.
We recommend this as a first feeder anywhere east of the Rockies. Hang it at eye level near a window you look out of often; ruby-throated males will claim it within days of arriving in spring.
What sets it apart
- Built-in ant moat — just add water
- Full perch ring so birds rest while they drink
- No dripping in summer heat
- Wide opening for a bottle brush
