Spring reminds us that it's all about the simple pleasures in life that bring joy. Afternoons spent getting hands dirty in the garden, the perfect pitcher of iced sweet tea, and seeing the hummingbirds outside the kitchen window make everyday special this season. Luring these fascinating winged creatures into our yards year after year might just be one of our favorite events of the spring and summer season without fail, but pros know that those picky eaters won't come to just any yard.

As most of us know, hummingbirds love nectar, so your normal bird feeder isn't going to cut it for them. Contrary to popular belief, though hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, your nectar doesn't have to be. Using a clear nectar is perfectly fine and doesn't need to be dyed to attract our fluttering little friends. Most important is using the right feeder to bring them to your yard. Luckily, you've come to the right place.

Any feeder that has a flower motif or a shade of red should do the job of attracting hummingbirds, so, from there, the choice is totally up to you! Hummingbird feeders have seen quite the stylish upgrade since the plastic red and yellow ones you probably grew up with, so peruse these cute options to see if one fits in with your garden's vibe. Once you've ordered it, find a partially shaded spot to hang your feeder and consider adding flowers around it that will attract them as well. Now sit back and enjoy watching those winged beauties fly!

Pros
  • Comes with 2
  • Cute Design
Cons
  • Requires Patience

Get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures with this clever hummingbird ring. Simply put nectar in the plastic vessel and wait for the hummingbirds to come!

With a screw-top lid, this hummingbird feeder couldn't be easier to clean and refill. Obviously, the downside is that it holds very little food due to its size. But, since this device was made to feed just one or two hummingbirds at a time, it's unlikely that you'll run out during use.

Pros
  • Easy to clean
  • 10 feeding ports
  • Anti-leak sealing ring
Cons
  • Not the most aesthetically pleasing

The First Nature 16 oz. feeder is, hands down, our top pick for the best hummingbird feeder. It's a high-quality, incredibly well-reviewed product with an eye-catching red base, 10 feeding ports, and a perch that allows for easy viewing. It also features an anti-leak sealing ring, and reviewers say it's easy to clean, too.

One of our favorite features of this hummingbird feeder is the wide-mouth bottle and two-part base. Disassembly of this feeder takes no time, meaning it's incredibly quick and simple to clean. It also comes with a hook for easy hanging. The only negative with this feeder is that it's not the most attractive option. But for under $5, we'll take it.

Pros
  • Gorgeous hand-blown glass
  • Multiple colors
  • Perch
  • Optional ant moat
Cons
  • Not a super wide-mouth bottle

Have you ever seen a hummingbird feeder so beautiful? This hand-blown glass feeder comes in multiple different color ways and a few different shapes.

With four feeding ports, you're sure to get a bevy of birds in your garden this season. Each port also includes its own perch, and the ports have bee guards. And with a 27 ounce capacity, you're unlikely to need to refill anytime soon. But when you do, cleaning and refilling is decently easy. The base comes full apart, making it easy to clean. The topper also unscrews and has an average screw-top bottle opening. You'll definitely need to use a bottle brush to clean the interior.

Pros
  • Cute
  • Holds 25 oz nectar
  • Easy to fill
Cons
  • Only 5 feeding ports

Talk about rustic charm: This vintage bottle hummingbird feeder allows for five simultaneous feedings, holds up to 25 ounces of nectar, and also features one of those helpful wide mouths. The base can also be taken apart when it's time to clean, and—best of all—the manufacturer offers case-by-case replacements and refunds should you encounter any significant problems.

Each port on this feeder has a bee guard and the top hook features an optional ant moat, so there's no need to worry about any pests interfering with your birds. Reviewers also love that the red bottle means there's no dye added to the nectar, which is safer for the birds.

Pros
  • Beautiful
  • Easy to Clean
Cons
  • More Fragile than Other Options

This feeder doubles as artwork in your garden. This beautiful hand-painted piece, made in Louisiana, will become a conversation starter at all of your backyard soirees. It has a cork stopper to make for easy filling, and it has several holes for the birds to access.

While we love how gorgeous this hand-painted feeder is, there are a few features it lacks in comparison to others on this list. It doesn't have a perch for the birds to use while feeding or an ant moat to prevent pests. It also holds less nectar than most of the other feeders on this list, so you'll find yourself refilling more often.

Pros
  • Unobstructed View
  • Discrete appearance
  • Easy to clean and fill
Cons
  • Only holds 12 oz

The "HighView" perch on this 12-ounce feeder allows birds to rest as they feed, which allows new and experienced watchers alike the chance to get a decent view of the action. It's an Amazon bestseller, and for good reason: That red top is easy to remove for fast cleaning.

Four feeding ports is enough for a few birds to hang out without overcrowding—you're here for the view with this feeder, after all! The red top also means you can skip out on dyed nectar. You will want to consider, though, that with the low-profile design of this feeder also comes a small capacity. You'll need to refill it more often.

Pros
  • Attractive appearance
  • Longlasting and durable
  • Easy to clean and fill
  • Holds 32 oz nectar
Cons
  • On the expensive side

This striking feeder is reminiscent of vintage mason jars. The white-and-yellow flowers at the base are actually feeding ports. In addition to an adorable vintage look, it also features good ole' fashioned construction, with a durable metal base and glass top that should last you years.

Another perk of the mason jar top? That wide-mouth opening, of course! This feeder couldn't be easier to clean or refill. It also has a wrap-around perch that reviewers note the birds love to rest on. The top includes a bar that you can attach to a hook for hanging, as well.

Pros
  • Whimsical Design
  • Accommodates lots of Birds at Once
Cons
  • High Price

Keep the peace with all the neighborhood hummingbirds by providing them with this feeder. There are three nectar stations making it easy for everyone to get their fill.

And it's not just the individual nectar stations they'll love, each spot includes its very own perch, so they can sit back and relax for a few seconds after enjoying their meal. The feeder also has a glass and metal construction, making it incredibly durable. If you zoom in, you'll see just how gorgeous the hand-painted flowers are on the ferris wheel carts.

Each nectar station is fairly easy to refill as the port comes out. They're not as easy to clean, though, and you'll need small fingers or a flexible bottle brush to get around the curves and crevices.

Pros
  • Inexpensive
  • Discreet appearance
  • Includes bee guard
Cons
  • Only 1 feeding port
  • Only holds 3 oz

While hummingbirds will love this mini feeder, the bees will not. (Experienced watchers know that's a very good thing.) This feeder features a handy bee guard, one feeding port, and a hanging rod, which allows for placement just above a planter box.

This budget-friendly pick will definitely need refilling often, holding just three ounces. Fortunately, reviewers mention how easy it is to clean and refill with the wide-mouth bottle.

  • Unobstructed viewing
  • Dishwasher safe
  • 6 feeding ports
Cons
  • Expensive

No one likes to eat in the rain! This feeder ensures that hummingbirds can get their nectar fix without getting soaked by an April shower.

Surprisingly, it also holds a whopping 12 ounces despite the low-profile design. Additionally, you'll love the six feeding ports so that you can keep an eye on all your birds. A wrap-around perch is a feature they'll love. The best part? This feeder is dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning a breeze.
