- Comments: Exceptionally well designed. Ports are a good distance apart and encourage peaceful communal feeding in Ohio rubythroats.
- Can be refilled while it hangs—the only one tested that can. No bottle brushes or funnels needed. Built-in anti-ant moat. Large capacity makes it suitable only in high-consumption situations. Subject to nectar waste, like all saucer feeders, as hummers tend to abandon it before it is completely empty.
