HummZinger Ultra Feeder Review

This is my HummZinger Ultra Feeder Review made by Aspects which we have been using for 2 seasons now.

The HummZinger Ultra has a built in Ant Moat, there are 4 feeding ports with raised flowers to divert rain from the nectar, it can be hung with included hook or it can be pole mounted, has a capacity of 12 oz., is leak-proof and has a lifetime guarantee.

This is the package of the HummZinger Ultra.

The box is rugged and enough so that I reuse it for storage between seasons.

The Ultra is packaged in parts but very easy to assemble.

Here are the parts that comes with the feeder:

• a "top" and a "bottom" which comes apart for easy cleaning.
• a "hook" which screws into the bottom to hang the feeder.
• some nifty bee/insect guards which slip over the bottom of the feeding ports.
• a pipe cleaner for cleaning. (good for 1 or 2 cleanings)

This is a photo of the Underside of the top with a Bee/Insect Guard.
The guards can be installed by choice.

You simply slide the soft plastic tips over the bottom of the feeding ports as shown.
I like this because if you don't need them you don't have to use them.
This is helpful because when using the tips they need to be cleaned during the cleaning process which takes a bit longer.

Here in my opinion are the "Pros" and "Cons" in this HummZinger Ultra Feeder Review:

Pros:

• made of unbreakable polycarbonate
• nice box for storage
• built-in ant moat
• can be hung or post mounted
• leak-proof (most tray feeders are leak-proof if not overfilled)
• comes with separate bee/insect guards and installed only if needed
• comes apart for easy cleaning
• the 12 oz. capacity is just right for in between cleanings and refills
• lifetime guarantee

Cons:

• The only negative feature I found is that the ant moat is rather small and may need to be refilled between cleanings if the feeder is in the sun.
  However, I have never found a hummingbird feeder with a built-in ant moat that was large.
  I kept the feeder in the shade and didn't need to refill the ant moat between cleanings.
  I would recommend using a separate "Ant Moat" with a large capacity.

Overview of the HummZinger Ultra Feeder Review:

Our hummingbirds took to this feeder within hours of the first time I hung it.
I like the 12 oz. capacity. I do not waste much nectar between cleanings.
Some may find the need to clean the feeder more often especially if it is exposed to direct sunlight.
In this case, there are smaller HummZingers available such as the "Mini" or the "Little Fancy" line which has an 8 oz. capacity.
Others may have large numbers of hummingbirds at their feeders especially during the migration.
Aspects has a large 16 oz. capacity feeder called the "Excel".

I would definitely recommend the HummZinger Ultra Hummingbird Feeder.
