We have a new hummingbird feeder. The old one gave good service (see Where are the Hummingbirds? and Here are the Hummingbirds). I had chosen the glass and metal design to eliminate plastic and be more sustainable, but over the last year the metal component of the old one had started to rust, which gave the sugar water an alarming rust color. I didn't like the idea of the birds drinking rusty sugar water.

The replacement is a Jalan Wang design of glass with a silicone and plastic feeding reservoir. The hummingbirds have found the new feeder and seem to love it! After a long drink, some of them seem to forage for insects among the pittosporum leaves. My husband and I can watch the tiny birds feeding from our offices that overlook the small courtyard. It is a pleasure to see their busy activity.
