This feeder has been making quality bird feeders since 1987 and they are still the best!
We have been making these great feeders for 34 years now and our hummingbird feeders have stood the test of time. The NJ-1 works better than any other feeder because we use hexagonal raised diamond geometry of ports that allows the hummingbirds to visually locate the nectar-like they do when they look into a flower.
The unique design of our Mary’s Feeders NJ-1 allows you to watch hummingbirds using their beaks and tongues within the tube so you can actually see the feeding process happen. Did you know a hummingbird’s tongue can reach almost an inch past its beak?

Customer Questions & Answers
Question1: Will the lid fade from the dishwasher?
Answer: I have not had any problems with fading in the dishwasher at all after many years of use. I put it in the top rack. Very sturdy feeder that I like to give as housewarming gifts.

Question: Can orioles drink out of this or are the holes too small?

She said ” I lost my roof two times but did not lose the feeder” Gen
