ABSTRACT:
A hummingbird feeder, that is usually supplied with sweet nectar and hung from above, is provided with a liquid container above it. Water, plain or containing another substance, is placed in the container, preventing ants from crawling down and reaching the feeder. The container necessarily surrounds the element suspending the feeder; the opening of the container is sufficiently large to prevent the ants from reaching the edge of the container from the suspending element, and sufficiently small to render it difficult for the birds to reach the water. In one form, the container has a funnel at the top to catch additional rain which at least partially compensates for water evaporating from the container.
