humming bird feeders

Hello all,

I've had some customers complain that their humming
bird feeders drip. A s-l-o-w, but constant drip out the
little red tip. The stopper is a good fit in the bottle and
I tell them to jam the stopper in really tight, but the drips
won't stop.

Any ideas, suggestions, similar experiences???

David, You need to overfill the feeder, then put the feeder tip into the fill
hole (the liquid will spill out a little to accommodate the rubber stopper).
This will create a vacuum on the inside of the feeder. You can also move the
glass tube to adjust the angle. Hope this helps! Carol @ "The HedgeShopper"
