Title: My hummingbirds HATE the new design
Product review: My hummingbirds have been enjoying Droll Yankees window feeders for many years. These stick right on the window, so I have gotten some unbelievable pictures of the little guys. Unfortunately, Droll Yankees has radically changed the design. The new feeder only has three parts (not counting the suction mechanism) compared to ten parts on the old feeder. Therefore, it is much cheaper for them to manufacture while keeping the price the same. I have four of the old feeders and one of the new ones on one window. The birds won't touch the new feeder unless the others are all empty and they are desperate. They have a difficult time perching on the new rim, where they have no trouble perching on the old one. I think the new design must have been tested on the smaller east coast hummingbirds - the larger Anna's can't perch on it well at all. Very, very disappointing.
