This is the best feeder available and is a super price at Amazon. I just bought 4 more to add to my current 6 that I have in operation. I was getting fuel delays and my birds were sharing a spigot in the waning light when they come from miles around to the partake of the best jet fuel around these parts. I live in the San Francisco East Bay and have been feeding the H/B for many years. The key to getting lots of birds is easy. 1. Use this feeder 2. Always keep your fuel available and in a clean feeder. 3. Mix 2 cups of sugar to make 4 cups total. This fills the feeder. 4. Once you are getting birds, increase the number of feeders you have. 5. The more feeders you have the more birds you get. My birds stay all winter so this is a full time job. I may go through 3-4 quarts a day. I get from 40 to 60 birds in the evening all fueling up for the night. It is amazing to watch. I have my feeders congregated together on one side of the house, hanging down about 2 ft from under the eves.
