introductionBefore picking up a hummingbird feeder, one of the most important things to consider is to ensure there will be no leakages when you refill the reservoir. Oftentimes, hummingbird feeders spill due to the heat which is why some of them come with an anti-leak sealing ring. If a feeder has this sealing ring, it is highly unlikely that the sweet nectar may drip out of the bottle. Once the nectar spills, it attracts many not-so-welcome visitors like bees, hornets, and ants. As a result, not only do they cause great nuisance for hummingbirds but they can also make these birds sick by getting into the nectar.
