Hi Nancy,
We use HummZinger feeders by Aspect, which we buy at the Wild Bird store
on Dunbrack & Lacewood in Halifax. They are plastic, but not cheap, are
well designed, easy to clean and long-lasting. They also have built-in
ant moats that you fill with water which prevent ants from getting to
the sugar water. We have been using these feeders for quite a few years
now with no problems so far as we know.

Are these feeders all right? I wonder about the plastic -
probably not good for the birds and just another thing that
will eventually end up in the landfill<br>
<br>
</div>
Perhaps someone could recommend the best type of feeder, where
to buy it, etc.<br>
