I have rearranged the holder on this bird feeder repeatedly and moved it around to a shepard's hook and a hook on the front porch and it continues to leak. This is not good because it attracts ants of course. The hummers like it. I have tried and tried to figure out where it could be leaking from. It looks like it is leaking from the screw at the bottom that holds the bird seats in place but that can't be since it doesn't go into the bottle. It must be leaking from the feeder ports. I have another one almost identical to this one except it is a little bit smaller and it doesn't leak at all. One thing I do like about it is the top red part is indented and not just flat the way it looks in the picture so I was able to spray Pam cooking spray inside the indention on top and that seems to be keeping the ants out of it. They crawl up the shepherd's hook but won't crawl on that sticky Pam to get to the sugar water. It doesn't leak a whole bunch. Just a drop every now and then. Not a steady stream. So I will give it 3 stars.
