Hands-on Review

My favorite hummingbird feeder

Dr JB's Clean Feeder

This is my main feeder for hummingbirds, my day-in-and-day-out, all-summer hummer feeder. I like it a lot. I have two, and they are the only hummingbird feeders I use.

Easy to clean!

This feeder does what many promise but few deliver — makes it easy enough to keep clean that I actually do it. The glass jar screws out of the base, and when you look at just the jar you'll see that it's like a wide-mouth Mason jar.

I appreciate that.

The base is in two parts that come apart and let you run them through the dishwasher to get out any little bits of mold that might have started to collect in the feeding ports. I put the glass part through the dishwasher also, and then I feel good knowing I will be offering clean, mold-free nectar to my beloved hummers.

Drip resistant

You know how you sometimes get sticky sugar watern all over your hands and arms (or the floor) when you carry a refilled feeder outdoors, because there's no way to set it or carry it that it doesn't drip? Well, that doesn't happen with Dr. JB's.

The top of glass jar is shaped so that the yellow bail folds down and fits in a recession. That means you can set the jar on the counter and fill it. Then screw on the base, while the whole thing is upside down. Now carry it outside.

When you get to where you want to hang it, quickly flip it right side up, and slip the yellow bail over your hook.
