Filling the Unit

Fill the hummingbird feeder with nectar only.
Use store-bought nectar, or make your own (one part sugar to four parts boiling water). Use sugar only; do NOT use honey or any artificial sweeteners when making the nectar as it can be fatal to hummingbirds. Cool the nectar to room temperature before filling the feeder. Follow the instructions below to fill the hummingbird feeder.

1. Turn the hummingbird feeder over on a flat surface, and remove the base by unscrewing it in a counterclockwise motion while keeping a firm grip on the glass jar and circular perch.
   
2. While keeping a firm grip on the glass jar, fill it with nectar, making sure to leave some empty space at the top to prevent waste and spillage.
   
3. Screw the base back onto the feeder by turning it clockwise while keeping a firm grip on the glass jar and circular perch. Turn the feeder back over, and the base will fill with nectar.
   
   

Filling the Ant Moat

Your hummingbird feeder has a built-in ant moat to prevent ants and other insects from getting into the feeding ports. To fill the ant moat, simply fill the opening at the top of the feeder with water.

Hanging the Unit

Use the metal hanging hook to hang the hummingbird feeder around your yard, patio, garden, terrace, porch, or any safe location for birds. It's recommended to hang the feeder on a sturdy surface such as a tree, shrub, or pole.

Choose a non-windy location for your feeder to prevent nectar spill. It's recommended to hang the feeder in an open area, as hummingbirds prefer open spaces that allow them to move from nectar source to nectar source. Ideally, the feeder should also be near flowers, in an area that has both sun and partial shade during the day.

Place the feeder at least 15 to 20 feet (4.5 m to 6 m) away from windows, as they are a hazard to hummingbirds. Hang the feeder approximately 5 ft above the ground to discourage unwelcome pests like ants, mice + squirrels from feeding on the nectar. Hanging the feeder near trees, shrubs, or other cover offers a convenient location for birds to seek refuge from predators and severe weather as well.

Maintenance

Cleaning and refilling the feeder often is essential in preventing deadly mold from growing. Therefore, it's recommended to clean and refill the feeder twice a week in hot weather (above 60ºF / 15ºC), and once a week in cooler weather (under 60ºF / 15ºC).

1. Unscrew the glass jar from the moat and base of the feeder to dispose of the old nectar and moat water.
2. Remove the base and feeding ports from the circular perch.
   
3. Use hot tap water, or a weak vinegar solution to clean the feeder. Avoid using dish soaps, as they can leave harmful residue in the feeder. Using a brush, scrub all parts of the feeder individually before rinsing thoroughly and drying.
4. Once dry, attach the feeding ports back to the perch, then reassemble, refill, and re-hang the feeder as instructed before. Wash your hands after handling the hummingbird feeder.
