It's a junk from China that can't seat I believe that it is a reject from the field
There is no one feeder that most hummingbirds drink from. It is nothing to worry about. As you begin using the feeder for the first time, birds have to learn about it, so it may take some time for them to find the feeder, but once they do, they will return again and again to consume water. In addition to the loss of nectar in the bottles, you can tell if they visited by looking at the loss of nectar.
The two I have are my own, and the two I bought for my mother are also mine. As far as I know, mine did not include the moat, and my mother's may have included it as well. There is no doubt that the moat would be helpful if you have an ant infestation. Moats are placed as hangers, making it look like the moats are hanging from the roof.

Further, the design of this globe, along with its plastic bottom, allows the globe practically to empty with no overflow or burp. It is necessary to release the vacuum of air trapped at the top of the globe (thus burping refers to the need to release the vacuum of fluid induced by the vacuum of air. ). It is possible to burp it by gently thumping the bottom of the plastic with finger. If it needs burping, you will see air bubbles appear on top, then fluid on the bottom has been removed by the vacuum. In the form it came in, the landing platforms were supplied at 45° angles which put my birds too close to the flower and up high. With my hummers of my size, I had to bend each of these perches down (gently and carefully to avoid breaking the welds). their new perpendicular position to the ground, previously they were tilted up at 45 degrees). Before I performed the bend to horizontal, the birds used the lowered perches, which forced them to burn energy in order to hover, since they couldn't land for food.
If you're like me, you're going to try to screw on the metal ring and plastic base on the globe at the same time DON'T do that! If you try to twist the bottom pair concurrently, the plastic base on the harder globe may be cross threaded or an incorrect rotation will result Resulting in a major fail (leaks) can be the result of a seated gasket. There are two sizes of 'S' hooks included as well as an ant guard, as well as a length of rope to install the system on a tree or other type of support, and a brush to clean the holes leading from the syrup to the flower. This product is perfect for me since it has a 32oz capacity, meaning I don't have to refill it every day Flat top/bottom glass feeders have decreased the need for burping most significantly when compared to other loads. Here's the deal When it gets to the half-way mark At the halfway point in the globe, the remaining fluid volume will thin much more rapidly than it took for the top half of the globe to disappear. I only wish the loop had been designed differently, which is the dimple on top for the hook. It was easy for me to fill flat bottomed bottles by setting them down and pouring out of a funnel with one hand. I must hold the globe at the elbow and the funnel in the somewhat smaller filler with the dimple of my hand--which I need to do while holding my arm at the elbow--and use the dimple to raise my elbow. I used one hand to pour and the other hand to hold the globe, but it worked out. When I first noticed the dimple I thought I would need a container of sand or something to hold the globe, but it worked out and I wouldn't change it for the world. The seller, Muse, has not confirmed that they will sell gasket replacements (so far, they have not said they'll do this). I purchased three separate seals/gaskets, if these fail I'll buy replacements from them. Gaskets will be the first to wear out, but globes will outlast them with care. Neither my wife nor the birds don't like the colors of the globe.
Despite its fragile appearance, the glass feeder is sturdy and attractive. As far as the thickness and quality are concerned, I was surprised. As far as rough edges are concerned, it did not occur to me. However, I will check every In my backyard in Long Island, New York, I have only seen one hummingbird. There was a short visit to my flower baskets, but it was not frequent. It came several times to drink in the first day after placing the feeder up. In addition to no longer coming when we are outside or talking close to the window, the bird is now very shy of us. In recent weeks, we have been observing the solo bird visiting the feeder early in the morning and late in the evening. This is the first photo I've gotten It seems that there has been no problem with ants or other animals at The moat is filled with cooking oil. The tent is on a shepherds hook 90 inches long and is very stable, even on winds up to 45 miles per hour. There was about a third of the nectar left in it The addition of that weight and stability adds a great deal. The purchase I made was a pleasant surprise and I am very satisfied. We have enjoyed watching the hummingbird visit our feeders in addition to all the other birds that visit This summer was an Hummingbirds are expected to arrive in large numbers during migration. In my reading, it seems that it's appropriate to leave the feeders outside Mixing sugar with water will result in freezing, but at a lower temperature than if the water was In the event that the temperature dips into the low 30s, I will bring it in. According to the Audubon site, here is the answer to that If I want to take down my feeders in the fall, when should I do it? If there are hummingbirds around, you can leave the feeders out for as long as you would like. Even if your hummingbirds stop feeding after you install the feeder - late migrants or emigrants - it will be beneficial to you Some species of range species can show up early in the NOTE INTRODUCTION It is imperative to clean and dry all surfaces after every filling and after each procedure. The metal perch area on the side of the teddy bear has recently contained two small feathers. It was shocking to me because the bird is so tiny and must have pulled free by itself. Listed below are some of the possible There was a lot of glue on the feeder base. I noticed nectar had leaked after filling the feeder last time. The feeder was rinsed off and reset on a new base. Rather than leaving any nectar residue on it, I should have wiped it dry. The nectar may have made a sticky film on the leaves after the nectar is dried. Among the materials I used in the moat were oil and metal. During our heavy rain, we were soaked. It is possible that oil poured out of the moat, surfaced on the base and dried in the sunshine. While cleaning the feeder as thoroughly as I could, I discovered the sealant on the metal parts had disintegrated, resulting in a very sticky area. This is a question I am unsure of which variable caused the sticky surface or breakdown of the base. Birds are very at risk from it. After seeing the hummingbird once, I have not seen it again. Please note Several precautions can be taken to prevent this problem, including very careful handling, cleaning, and drying. Moats shouldn't contain oil, so I recommend not using it. Hold two fingers over the holes at both ends of the feeder to prevent leakage while wearing gloves.
Making sure the gasket on this feeder was properly attached, I filled it up with nectar. I found this to be effective for a while at keeping bees and wasps at bay. It started leaking bad less than an hour after it was hung. As stated by the seller, either there was wind (there was none) or there were animals (there were only a few Later, the seller said either an improperly installed gasket (doubtful) or some problem with the gasket was the source of the problem. These issues have occurred with two of these feeders and, judging by the negative reviews, this is not an isolated incident.
