- Window-mount option for tight spaces: The Birdream window feeder sticks to the glass with suction cups so you can watch from inside.

The ruby-throats are showing up in the Mountain State right now. Down in the southern counties around Bluefield and Beckley, folks have been seeing them for a couple weeks already. Up in the higher elevations near Canaan and Snowshoe, the migration is still trickling in. If you haven’t gotten a feeder out yet, you’re cutting it close on the early arrivals.
The pattern I noticed pulling this week’s WV Finds garden list is that hummingbird feeders are dominating the markdowns right now. Glass bottles with proper bee guards and built-in ant moats make up most of the discount pool, and FEED GARDEN in particular is running deep cuts on its two bestsellers. Nature’s Way knocked their classic mason jar dish feeder down to half price, which is the kind of trusted-brand discount that doesn’t show up often outside Prime Day.
Below are ten picks worth looking at right now, organized by what kind of setup you have. If you missed last week’s garden tool roundup, those deals are still live too.
What are the best hanging hummingbird feeders for your yard?
These five hanging feeders are the strongest picks for a typical Mountain State backyard, prioritizing bee guards and ant moats over decorative-only shapes. Glass dominates this group because it lasts longer in summer sun and is easier to clean.
Nature's Way Mason Jar Dish Feeder
Nature's Way Bird Products MJF1 Nature's Way Mason Jar Hummingbird Dish Feeder, Clear
This is the no-fuss option if you want something proven and easy to clean. The mason jar style unscrews so you can scrub it out properly between fills, which matters more than people realize once May heat hits and the nectar starts fermenting fast. Sold and shipped by Amazon at half off, which is the deepest cut in the entire pool this week.
- Mason jar style unscrews for cleaning
- Sold and shipped by Amazon
- Half off this week
FEED GARDEN 16oz Glass Feeder
FEED GARDEN’s 16oz glass feeder has four bee-proof ports and a 360-degree perch ring so birds can land from any angle. The built-in ant moat keeps the nectar clean without you needing to rig up anything separate. It’s currently the bestseller in the category and tagged as a limited time deal, so the price won’t sit here forever.
- 4 bee-proof feeding ports
- 360-degree perch ring
- Built-in ant moat
FEED GARDEN Disc Two-Pack
The disc style holds nectar in a flat reservoir, which makes it harder for bees to reach the syrup but easy for hummingbirds with longer tongues. Two feeders in the pack means one for the front porch and one for the back yard without buying twice. BPA-free plastic with a wide mouth that you can reach into with a brush.
- Disc-style flat reservoir
- 5 feeding ports per feeder
- BPA-free plastic, wide mouth
Gbekery Glass Two-Pack
Two glass bottles with six ports each, both red because that’s the color hummingbirds key in on from a distance. The ant and bee guards work the same as the FEED GARDEN models above, just at a smaller 10oz capacity per bottle. Good if you want one near the kitchen window and another by the porch swing.
- 10oz glass bottles, red
- 6 feeding ports each
- Ant and bee guards
Perky-Pet Wide-Mouth Glass Two-Pack
Perky-Pet has been making bird feeders for decades and the wide-mouth bottle on this set is the reason I’d pick it over a generic two-pack. It has bee guards, an ant moat, and perches at every port. Sold and shipped by Amazon, which I trust more than third-party sellers when you’re buying glass that ships across the country.
- 8oz nectar capacity per feeder
- Wide-mouth bottle for cleaning
- Sold and shipped by Amazon
Which large-capacity hummingbird feeders are worth buying?
If your yard already pulls steady traffic, a 22oz to 32oz feeder cuts down on refills without sacrificing the leak-proof seal you need on a bigger bottle. These three are the larger options in this week’s pool.
Grete Gotye 24oz Glass Feeder
A 24oz glass feeder from Grete Gotye with five flower-shaped ports and a perch ring around the base. The size means fewer refills if you’ve got the kind of yard that pulls a dozen birds a day by mid-summer. Leak-proof seal, which is the spec to verify on any larger feeder because the bigger the bottle, the more places something can drip.
- 24oz capacity
- 5 flower-shaped feeding ports
- Leak-proof seal with perch ring
WOSIBO 32oz Hand-Blown Feeder
The biggest feeder on this list at 32oz, and the hand-blown glass gives it actual character instead of the generic mass-produced look. Comes with the hook plus rope and a cleaning brush. Listed as a limited time deal ending in about 13 hours from when this published, so grab it tonight if it’s the one you want.
- 32oz capacity, largest on list
- Hand-blown glass design
- Includes hook, rope, and brush
BOLITE 22oz Hand-Blown Feeder
Another hand-blown glass option in red, sized between the standard 16oz feeders and the WOSIBO above. Five feeding ports and an ant moat at the top. BOLITE has a solid track record on this style and the bestseller rank backs that up.
- 22oz hand-blown glass in red
- 5 feeding ports
- Built-in ant moat
Best hummingbird feeder for a window or small space?
Window-mounted feeders use suction cups to stick directly to your kitchen or living room glass, which is the right call for apartments, porch-only setups, or anyone who wants the closest possible view of the birds.
Birdream Window Feeder
This Birdream window feeder is the move if your yard doesn’t have a good place to hang anything, or if you just want to watch the birds from your kitchen sink. It holds 5oz, has three ports and an ant moat, and sticks to the glass with suction cups. Smaller capacity than a hanging feeder, but the front-row seat is the whole point.
- Suction-cup window mount
- 5oz capacity, 3 ports
- Built-in ant moat
What about a sturdy pole for your hummingbird feeder?
If you don’t have a good tree branch or eave to hang from, a 76-inch shepherd’s hook with a wide base is the easiest fix. It lets you put the feeder wherever the lighting and viewing angle work best.
FEED GARDEN 76" Shepherd's Hook
A 76-inch shepherd’s hook with a 7-prong base for stability in soft spring soil. Heavy gauge steel that won’t bend the first time a strong wind catches a full feeder. If you’re hanging anything larger than 16oz, a proper pole is worth the small investment over a tree branch that blocks your view from the porch.
- 76-inch heavy duty steel pole
- 7-prong base for stability
- Adjustable height
Frequently asked questions
When do hummingbirds arrive in West Virginia?
Ruby-throated hummingbirds typically reach southern West Virginia in mid-April and fan out across the rest of the state through early May. Higher-elevation areas near Canaan Valley and the Allegheny Highlands tend to see them a week or two later. Get your feeders out by the first week of May at the latest if you want to catch the full migration window.
What’s the right ratio for hummingbird nectar?
Four parts water to one part white sugar, no dye, no honey. Bring it to a boil briefly to dissolve the sugar fully, then let it cool before filling the feeder. Red food coloring is unnecessary because the feeder color does the attracting work for you.
How often should I clean a hummingbird feeder?
In April and early May while temperatures are still cool, every five to seven days is fine. Once we hit the high 70s and 80s in late May and June, switch to every two or three days. Sugar water ferments fast in heat and fermented nectar can hurt the birds.
Glass or plastic hummingbird feeder, which is better?
Glass holds up longer in sun without yellowing or warping, and most cleaning solutions are safe to use on it. Plastic is lighter and harder to break if a deer or squirrel knocks it down. Most of the picks in this post are glass for the longevity reason.
Do I need an ant moat?
Yes. Without one, ants will find the nectar in a day or two and contaminate the entire feeder. Every feeder on this list either includes a built-in ant moat or has bee-proof ports that serve a similar purpose.
The discount range across these ten picks ran from 6% on the bird bath combo styles up to 50% on the Nature’s Way mason jar. That’s a real spread, not the inflated original-price nonsense you sometimes see in seasonal categories. Glass hanging feeders with ant moats took the deeper cuts, while the poles and accessories sat at the lower end of the discount scale.
The honest take is that the Nature’s Way mason jar dish feeder is the standout because it’s a trusted brand sold by Amazon directly, and half off is the lowest I’ve tracked on it this spring. The FEED GARDEN disc two-pack is the smarter buy if you want two feeders in different parts of the yard without spending more. I’d skip the smaller-capacity generic-brand single feeders unless you’re filling out a row of poles where a couple of duplicates don’t matter.
Looking ahead, Mother’s Day is two weeks out and a lot of “gifts for mom” branded feeders will push hard into mid-May. If you want one set up before peak migration in your area, buy now and don’t wait for a Mother’s Day discount that may or may not show up. Pole prices in particular tend to creep back up after the spring rush, so if you need hanging hardware to go with the feeder, this week is the moment to grab it.
