introductionWell, of course if you are a hummingbird enthusiast and want to attract them into your yard, you have to have the right kind of feeder. But when it comes to the feeder types, the top fill feeder is probably the better option for most of us. Top fill feeders are super easy to fill and therefore, very convenient. It means you don’t have to spend a lot of time refilling: just remove the lid from the top, pour in the sweet syrup and that’s it. In this way, you can skip the tricky part in refilling, which is, you don’t need to flip the bottle over once the refill is done. Plus, you will also prevent spills of liquid food. Top fill feeders are pretty easy to clean as well. The bottom part and feeding ports of such feeders are removable, which makes cleaning an absolute breeze. Now let’s deep dive into some of our top picks for the best top fill hummingbird feeders.
