The 9 Best Hummingbird Feeders of 2025

Best Overall

Perky-Pet Pinchwaist Hummingbird Feeder

$14 $13 at Amazon $13 at Home Depot

With an appealing and user-friendly design, the Perky-Pet Pinchwaist Hummingbird Feeder is our pick for the best hummingbird feeder. This glass feeder comes in two colors—red (our top choice for attracting hummingbirds) or red with a clear bottle—and has four flower-shaped feeding ports to draw in hummingbirds.

Each feeding port has a built-in bee guard to prevent insects from poaching the nectar. There's also a perch below every port so multiple birds can feed at once, and a built-in ant moat at the top of the lid to further deter insects. 

Thanks to the wide-mouth bottle, it’s a cinch to pour the nectar in without spilling it. Cleaning is easy, too. All parts—even the built-in bee guards–can be disassembled for a thorough cleaning.

The only potential downside to this hummingbird feeder is its relatively small reservoir, which holds up to 8 ounces of nectar (the least on our list, along with our best window-mounted pick).

Despite their small size, hummingbirds have a good appetite, so you’ll likely have to refill the feeder frequently. Luckily, the bottle is made of clear glass which helps you easily monitor the nectar levels.

Best Budget

First Nature Hummingbird Feeder

$15 $9 at Amazon $5 at Walmart View on Firstnature.net

Our favorite budget-friendly option, the First Nature Hummingbird Feeder, has a simple yet effective design, and at just $5, the price is hard to beat.

While testing this feeder in our backyard, we noted that the bright red drew regular visitors. The feeder has a ring at the bottom where birds can perch, plus 10 flower-shaped feeding ports (the most on this list).

The feeder is made of plastic, and while it doesn't feel as nice as glass and metal, it’s less likely to break or rust. It holds 16 ounces of nectar, and we liked that the clear bottle allowed us to see how much nectar remains. The feeder's wide mouth made it super easy to fill and clean.

It has an S hook that easily slips onto a tree. However, we did find it tricky to open the two pieces on the base, and some nectar spilled out during the cleaning process. On the bright side, the base is equipped with latches and a sealing ring, preventing the feeder from leaking when it’s fully assembled.

Best Glass

More Birds Vintage Hummingbird Feeder

$25 $24 at Amazon $19 at Walmart

Add a charming, vintage-inspired element to your garden with the More Birds Hummingbird Feeder. While testing, we especially appreciated that the detachable base is not plastic (many on the market are), but metal with an elegant burnt penny finish. Plus, the transparent glass made it easy to monitor the nectar glass.

With a 20-ounce capacity (the second largest on our list behind our best design option) and five flower-shaped feeding ports (each with its own perch), this feeder offers plenty of room for multiple birds to feed comfortably.

The wide-mouth bottle is removable for easy filling and cleaning. We found that the bottle and the base come apart, so the feeder is easy to clean with a brush in warm, soapy water.

We tested the aqua-mint version and suspect that a red hue would likely attract more birds. You can also choose from four colors: blue, purple, aqua-mint, and red. There are several antique bottle shapes, including an elixir bottle and a mason jar.

The only hiccup to the otherwise solid design is the hanging mechanism. The metal ring at the top of the feeder doesn’t fit snugly, causing it to tilt a bit when hanging. On a positive note, this minor flaw doesn’t seem to discourage regular visitors.

Best Plastic

Sewanta Plastic Hummingbird Feeder

$13 $10 at Amazon View on Walmart

This plastic hummingbird feeder from Sewanta is lightweight, well-designed, and under $15. It has a 10-ounce clear reservoir so you can easily keep an eye on the nectar level. A built-in ant guard at the top prevents insects from contaminating the nectar.  

The wide-mouth reservoir means easy filling, and the two-part bases twist apart for a thorough cleaning. A tight seal prevents the feeder from leaking, even when it’s turned upside down.

As an added convenience, this feeder comes with two hanging options: a metal S hook and a tie-wrap. Note that this feeder is on the smaller side, so it’s best suited for a couple of birds at a time. The smaller capacity also means that you will likely have to refill it more frequently.

This feeder may attract bees, which isn’t a big surprise, considering there aren’t any bee guards on the feeding ports, like on our best overall pick. Luckily, you can buy bee guards separately or opt for a red hummingbird feeder, which won't attract bees as much as the color yellow.

Best Saucer

Aspects HummZinger HighView Hummingbird Feeder

$30 $28 at Amazon $40 at Macy's View on Orientaltrading.com

Thanks to its high perch, this saucer hummingbird feeder offers an unobstructed view for optimal birdwatching. We tested it in our yard and loved its simple yet effective design—thanks to the bright red cover, we had hummingbird visitors in our flower garden for the first time!

Since the top snaps open easily, we had no problem adding nectar or cleaning it. We also think it offers a little more versatility in placement since the S hook is a little wider and attaches easily to a pole or branch.

Made of durable polycarbonate, this feeder is highly resistant to heat, cold, and impact, making it suitable for all climates. We also love that it has a built-in moat to prevent ants and insects from crawling into the nectar.

Best Aesthetic

More Birds Purple Glass Nectar Hummingbird Feeder

$30 $20 at Amazon $29 at Walmart $21 at Lowes

If you're looking for a feeder that will add a pop of charm to your outdoor space, look no further than this option from More Birds. The elegant lavender shade of this glass hummingbird feeder is what sets it apart—we love the look of it as it hangs outside.

Despite some stormy weather, it's remained secure for several months and counting, thanks to its strong notched wire.

With transparent glass construction and an etched pattern on the outside, it's very similar to other the More Birds brand pick on our list (our best glass pick), but there are some subtle differences in the shape of the container that we felt deserved a distinct mention.

On the bottom section of this feeder, there are five flower-shaped feeding ports (the shape is a frequent design choice among hummingbird feeders), so birds can reach from every angle. The lower section is also red, to attract hummingbirds.

Best Window-Mounted

Perky-Pet Window Mount Plastic Hummingbird Feeder

$13 $12 at Amazon $14 at Walmart $15 at Home Depot

This acrylic hummingbird feeder attaches to a window via a suction cup, providing an up-close view of the action. We hung it on a window during testing, but it can also be hung from a post or tree using a screw or nail. The reservoir holds up to 8 ounces of nectar, and it’s made of transparent plastic, so it’s a breeze to monitor.

It has three flower-shaped feeding ports with removable perches, so you can make adjustments if your feeder is attracting unwanted birds. The long, tapered stems on the feeding ports help keep bees and other insects out of the nectar, too. This unit has yellow flower feeding ports, but you can purchase replacement ports in a variety of colors. 

The reservoir has the smallest capacity on our list (tied with our best overall). So, while it won’t bring in a large flock, it’s an ideal size for a few hummingbirds. The feeder has a wide-mouth opening that we found easy to fill, and all of the pieces come apart for a thorough cleanup.

If you do choose to place the hummingbird feeder on a window, just make sure the suction cup is secure. We found that it slipped off if it wasn't on tight and the nectar spilled onto the ground below.

Best Metal

Perky-Pet Elegant Copper Hummingbird Feeder

$18 at Walmart $42 at Wayfair $25 at Ace Hardware

With a brushed copper lid and base, this elegant hummingbird feeder from Perky Pet will make a stylish addition to your yard. Four flower-shaped feeding ports encourage multiple birds to feed at once, while the circular perch at the bottom allows birds to feed from all angles.

The reservoir holds up to 12 ounces of nectar, and it’s made of sturdy, clear glass so you can easily monitor its usage. The built-in bee guard is a great perk (but this feeder lacks an ant moat for optimal insect deterrence). 

Thanks to a wide-mouth opening on the bottle, this feeder is easy to fill, and the base comes apart for a quick, thorough cleaning. It’s important to note that a metal feeder is more prone to rust (unlike plastic and glass options), so be sure to take advantage of the one-year warranty if you encounter any damage or defects.

Metal hummingbird feeders also trap heat quicker than glass and plastic options, so we recommend them for colder and milder climates. Still, the brushed copper finish offers an elegant look that you won't get with other materials, so if you opt for metal, be sure to clean it thoroughly and regularly and remove it from your yard on especially hot days.

Best Design

LUJII Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeder

$30 at Amazon

Constructed from hand-blown glass, this hummingbird feeder is as eye-catching as it is functional. The bright, flower-shaped design will attract birds to your yard and can be used as a vase or candlestick holder in the off-season. This model comes in four colors—blue, purple, red, and yellow—all with a combination of vibrant florals.

It has five feeding ports to accommodate multiple birds with five perches where they can rest and stick around longer. The feeder holds up to 25 ounces of nectar (the most on our list), and an ant guard at the top of the bottle protects it from invading insects. 

This unit has a rust-resistant metal base that is completely sealed, preventing any spills or leaks. A wide opening on the bottle makes it easy to fill, but it will need to be cleaned with a bottle brush. The feeder comes with an S hook, so you can easily hang it from a tree.

Although the two-layer glass is very durable, the hook isn’t as sturdy, which may cause the feeder to tilt, sway, or fall off completely. You may want to use a shepherd’s hook to keep it securely fastened.
