I'm sorry but I don't know.I have about 20 something hummingbirds feeding outside but I have never seen any of them using any of my bird baths.If hummers do use little bird baths I guess that one would work as long as it is secured?I use mine for the lovebirds and they love it.Sorry I do not have a better answer.

I attached it to a flight cage with finches and they loved it. If you have something to attach to outside, probably any birds would love it as their bath source.

Don't see any reason why not. Just ensure you use warm water; birds have a 6 to 8 degree higher body temperature than humans.

My suggestion is to try to contact Hummingbird here http://www.humminbird.com/Category/Company/Contact-Us/ . I don't know where are you from, may be there is a Hummingbird dealer nearby. Check here http://www.humminbird.com/Category/Support/Find-A-Dealer/ Good luck.

Personally, I have not had a problem with bees getting into this feeder. I think that the sugar water solution is too far down and they can't reach it, whereas hummingbirds have long beaks that go down further into the reservoir. On a side note, my birds seem to like this feeder over my more expensive Hummzinger Feeder.

YES, we live on the second floor and it works perfectly. The hummingbirds love it and found it quickly. We have to refill it weekly!

Nothing. Actually, there are "ant" guards you can buy that can be forced into the hole that help. I mostly bring them out when we sit on the porch in the afternoon. The hummingbirds find it quickly, but the bees don't. The other option that's works temporarily on the one we leave out all the time is to spray the tip. It seems to affect the wasps but not the hummers.

They stick their long needle like beaks into a tiny hole in the middle of the plastic red flower at the bottom of the feeder. The hole does not drip when there is no bird but the bird can get the nectar by sticking the beak in the hole. We see our hummingbirds there all the time, but you have to really watch because they are so tiny and they don't stay very long.

This is a great feeder. I put mine out in early May (Northern Virginia), and the hummingbirds find it quickly every year. I also put a feeder on my sunroom window at the rear of my home, which is 1 1/2 levels above our patio. We have a walk-up basement, so the feeder is about 15 feet above the patio. They find it without trouble. We also have some flower planters on a nearby deck, so that may help.

Where I have mine, I do not see hummingbirds. However, the other birds like it as it circulates the water.

Probably not. The guard tips allow only a thin beak from a humming bird or Bullock's Oriole (several feed from it) to reach the nectar. Without the tips, the opening is large enough to let a bee access it.

This pump doesn't put out that much of a spray. I use my solar pump in a 12" bird bath and birds couldn't get under the spray. The hummingbirds loved it though!!

Sorry, Bonnie, we have only had Humming Birds. We have found, however, when the holes get plugged up not as many come around. :)

Same thing happened to me also. My husband got one to actually work in a really old glass hummingbird feeder bottle. But as far as putting them onto a soda bottle..forget it. Stuck with 11 more ..would you like them??

In principle, yes. My only concern would be how much weight the ant trap can withstand. I'm using it for a very light plastic hummingbird feeder.You may have to consult the manufacturer. I just found their website online -- link below. (Seems they also make a green ant moat, which I think would look nicer than the red one in my garden. Good to know.)http://www.wildlifeaccessories.com/trapit.html

Well, I don't know the answer to that one - but I see the hummingbirds sipping at our huge lilac bush on the other side of the house - I would think the red color and nectar would attract them to the feeder if they're already flitting around the lilacs anyway - so I think it's worth a try!
