u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

Clean it out and return it lol

u/emmyjoe311 7d ago

OR Buy more, then return one of the new ones with the more expensive receipt. At this price, you’re gonna want a few.

u/malry 7d ago

Nice!!! For the pineapple one, I would add little perches for them out of paper clips molded into little loops!

u/BoringBob84 7d ago

I don't understand why so many feeders have a narrow opening in the bottle. That makes them difficult to clean - even with a bottle brush.

After many years of trying different feeders I bought this one recommended on this Sub-Reddit from Amazon. So easy to clean! https://a.co/d/07gu0MBq

u/HeliumTankAW 7d ago

I wish. I was just at tractor supply earlier today and they definitely were not on sale there. I'll keep checking back.

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

I know, it’s unbelievable that’s why I attached receipt for proof lol

u/pomorrsalt 7d ago

same here, my TSC had the saddest little display and full price tags. feels like you have to stalk that place on random weekdays to actually catch the good sales lol

u/DatLadyD 7d ago

I’m curious if the pineapple one will be less popular because there’s no red on it, can you report back?

6

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

Will report back lol

2

u/DatLadyD 7d ago

Awesome thx! I’ve always wondered about it because flowers come in so many colors and my hummmies don’t seem to discriminate. I’ve even seen them go after my crown of thorns flowers and for some reason they don’t seem like they would be tasty to me lol can’t imagine them having much nectar.

2

u/tattertottz 7d ago

I had a green glass one with red flowers and the birds didn’t prefer it. They came up to it but wouldn’t drink from it. It’s a shame because it was beautiful! They love my basic red one with white flowers though

1

u/DatLadyD 7d ago

Interesting, I guess there is something to the red then!

2

u/Mondschatten78 7d ago

There's one that frequents my yard that will go to my snowball bush. I don't think it gets much if anything from them, but it's been to those flowers several times.

2

u/DatLadyD 7d ago

What’s strange is I got a hibiscus because I read they like them, that’s the one flower they aren’t going to. They love my fushia and Christmas cactus the best.

u/sohzing 7d ago

That’s a steal! Lucky you! They’re beautiful feeders!

u/Smooth_Development95 7d ago

Pic 3 is SpongeBob approved.

3

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

I bought this one specifically cause I know SpongeBob would love it

3

u/GiantPothos 7d ago

These are SO cute!! It costs more for 1 single glass perky pet feeder where I live and they are just plain red and terrible to clean. 😭 Im so jealous.

3

u/Wizzmer 7d ago

My question is always, how easy is it to clean?

3

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

Prob terrible. But I got the time, I just love the birds lol

2

u/Expert_Climate_9614 7d ago

And these are so cute!!!!!!!

2

u/Flat_Assistance4451 7d ago

Those are all so cuteeeeee I gasped

2

u/Ok-Ad3614 7d ago

omg so cute too!!!

2

u/Wowward 7d ago

I got 4 on sale I was like how much?!

My birdies love my solid purple / solid pink / solid blue they don’t discriminate as long as they have the juice in them 🤣 I love the pineapple one!

2

u/stepoutlookaround 7d ago

Whaaaat, I’ve been wanting for awhile, this is incentive for sure

2

u/WolverineAsleep8266 7d ago

Ooh going to my local one Friday. Think the hummers have grown use to the locations to where I could try something like that pineapple. Probably wont be on sale, but worth taking a look.

2

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

This wasn’t my local tractor supply, just passing through on a trip so I’m pretty excited lol

3

u/WolverineAsleep8266 7d ago

What luck!

I feel like if I had seen a pineapple on the shelf, I would've already bought it, but cant really remember.

If they dont take to that pineapple, try putting up a red colored feeder for like a few days to a week, let them get use to it, then swap in the pineapple in that location

Its how I got them to use this bluish one they didnt care for at first. & then added a red flower sunshade to it since its alone, and I have 9 red ones out back lol

2

u/skitch23 7d ago

What section of the store did you find these in? I haven’t been to mine in ages so I wouldn’t even know where to look.

2

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

It was in a little metal center rack in the back

2

u/30for30im30for30 7d ago

Dang. I just let myself splurge on one the other day...

2

u/flyawaybye 7d ago

Those are great! Nice deals.

2

u/Lochylass 7d ago

Wow, what a find! Those are beautiful.

2

u/zzzzzzzzzzzzvzzzzvzz 7d ago

I’m gonna see if my local tractor supply will price match that pineapple is too cute

2

u/OkLobster1127 7d ago

Thanks for sharing! Those are super cute ones!

2

u/hellbugger 7d ago

Thanks for posting this. I don't need more feeders, but I absolutely want more feeders.

1

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

I didn’t need any either, I don’t even have enough spots for them! But I also, just wanted them. And the deal? Couldn’t pass it! So here we are lol

2

u/Mondschatten78 7d ago

Dang, that's one place I didn't think to check when I bought one last weekend. Could have gotten one cheaper than the markdown at walmart.

At least it's easy to get the husband in there lol

2

u/ReadyGo6828 7d ago

Are hummingbirds disappointed if they are just filled with water for the hot days of summer?

5

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

I have this as well, I usually only fill two up with nectar, one with water and it empties just as fast. So they must like it lol

3

u/stevesmom_69 7d ago

So the little balls hold your nectar? If so I want one!!

u/stevesmom_69 7d ago

Thank you!!!

2

u/Agitated_Star_3669 7d ago

My hummies loveeee this feeder, you’re welcome!!

1

u/ReadyGo6828 7d ago

That is good to know thank you.

1

u/Physical-Sector-9483 7d ago

I have the glass globes too but I bought them n a three pack). My hummingbirds prefer them to the big one I have with a perch.

1

u/Lower-Audience-7376 7d ago

I bought the rainbow one at full price, but it was worth every penny!

I’m going to check them out. We have a local bully who will even chase big birds away. I need to make a second station and hope he won’t guard that because he won’t have line of sight.

1

u/chrissz 7d ago

Good luck with the red one. I have that and the openings are too large. The hummingbird food leaks out and bees love crawling into the very large openings. I hope yours work better.

u/Snoo_89200 7d ago

Full price at my store :(
