does this feeder leak?

Never had any leak problems and have had several different sizes over about five years. Best is their ease on cleaning!

No leaks BUT I've never had success drawing hummingbirds to this particular feeder,while others have great success.A mystery. My other feeders are popular with the birds.

I have had many lovely feeders that leak....this hummingbird feeder does not leak at all, and the birds enjoy perching while they dine. It "is" the Best 1.

No this feeder does not leak. Really prefer this feeder to any other out there. I now have three of these feeders. Plus there are NO BEES.

It does not leak in my experience. I absolutely love this feeder - easy to clean and the hummingbirds seem to love it.

Good morning. No, I have never had any leakage problems with the feeder. It seals well and there are no problems with bees or wasps being drawn to the feeder, as it is closed off to them completely.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

I had one that did the same thing that I finally had to throw away and buy a new one. Thankfully they don't cost to much. Anyway's just be sure the cap is screwed on tight and maybe pour out some of the nectar so there's not so much overflow. If it keeps leaking then it's just the cause of a bad feeder and you will have to buy a new one. I've had about 5 of them and I only had one that leaked bad. Goodluck!

You may want to send it back for a replacement. I myself, as well as my pet, love this feeder and I would recommend this feeder because not only is it a healthy way of feeding but it holds the right amount of food for my pet. The people who designed this feeder are very concerned about satisfaction and wellness of your pet.

I have found that the replacement feeders will fit most feeders with no leakage.

Yes. It has rained several times since I put it up and it drains nicely. Very well made feeder!

Yes, mine has a pin hole in the cap and mine does not leak. Maybe yours is faulty

No, I have never had a problem with it leaking. Try to keep it upright. Make sure the straw is down.

Having just recently purchased two 32 ounce feeders from this company, To date I have no issues with leaking.. Obviously, you've contacted the company regarding the leaking? Sorry, can't assist you further..

Correct - not vented as I have one and it's my second. The first one lasted a lot of years. The beauty of this one is that it's not a post mount type like my previous so the bottom pops right off for easy cleaning. This is the best large capacity feeder I've found.

Leaking has never personally happened with my set. Not ever, and I take a lot of differing things in my lunch. Maybe the other folks are overfilling their containers--maybe don't fill it up to the top? But no, in my experience they don't leak.

No, it is not sealed. The feeding nozzle is about 4cm (2 inches) wide. I put my feeder in a pedestal and tied it on a pole so that animals (cats, racoon, etc.) won't be able to tip it over. Also, I wrapped it in a cloth to camouflage the smell. And you have to check it from time to time, to make sure the battery didn't die yet.

Yes they do leak badly....you have to get the angle just right....and I found the birds did not really like to eat from it.

It doesn't leak because the liquid is in the bottom. Also makes it much easier to clean than the bottle feeders.

I just received mine today and it has two "buttons" that you push to disconnect the polycarbonate cylinder from the bottom of the feeder. To fully dismantle the bottom, however, you need to unscrew the bottom metal plate. It is held on by two small Phillips-head screws. There are small drain holes in the bottom, too---I am guessing that they will let any water that gets in there to pass through. Nicely made feeder!

Not sure, but I have seen the condition you refer to in many feeders I have previously owned. I bought mine as a gift for someone, and can ask them to keep an eye on the condition for me. Don't think they've owned it long enough to have seen this condition yet.
