- Comments: Very easy to clean, though sloshy to fill and carry. No bottle brushes or funnels needed. Ease of cleaning, filling and hanging overrode lower hummer attractiveness scores. Ports are vertical, making birds insert bills straight down. This causes many birds to abandon it when nectar level drops to half or less, so there is nectar waste. Heavy rain can run into ports, diluting nectar. Built-in ant moat.
