Microfeeder

The Hummingbird Helper is a revolutionary innovation in hummingbird feeders. Its two standout features make this design superior to others. The first notable aspect is that this feeder is not open like most feeders. The bowl of this feeder has a tight-fitting lid that keeps out wasps and bees, which typically get stuck in normal hummingbird feeders. The lid also makes this feeder rainproof and easy to fill. The most significant feature of this particular design is the collection box. Most hummingbird feeders hold sugar water until it's drained down to a certain level. This causes mold and algae to grow rapidly inside the feeder. When liquid is left in a regular feeder for an extended period, the mold and algae become very hard to clean off. But the Hummingbird Helper uses the collection box design to drain every drop of liquid from the bowl. The Hummingbird Helper is designed so that even when the bowl is less than halfway full, there is still sugar water near the tips of the flowers. This makes it easy for hummingbirds to drink. The Hummingbird Helper can be placed in several different locations. It can be nailed to a tree or attached to a window. It can easily be adjusted for use with suction cups or double-sided tape.
