I got this model at K-mart for a very reasonable price (~$7). I am disappointed to find that it does NOT have perches for the little guys to sit at while sipping. In going through the pros and cons of perching, I realize that most hummers hover while feeding at more natural food sources (flowers, etc). This line of thinking helps me feel ok about this perch-less feeder.
I put up the feeder because (1) I enjoy watching them feed and (2) given their high energy intake requirements, I worry that there are not enough natural food sources for them in the neighborhood. I am comforted thinking that they can get a quick blast of energy when they are tired or cold.
I thought that perhaps the lack of perches would discourage other species (eg - orioles) from using the feeder. However, I did observe a determined oriole using this feeder within a week of putting it out.
I am now trying to figure out how to modify the feeder so that it includes some perches.
