Hummingbird saucer feeder

Feed hummingbirds nectar through ports in a saucer lid

A saucer feeder for hummingbirds and sunbirds: nectar sits in the shallow base, and the pierced top tier has eight feeding ports at beak height, too small for bees to reach the syrup. Saucer feeders don't drip like bottle feeders, and the whole thing comes apart for cleaning. NECTAR is raised in red, the colour these birds look for.
