Please read on for answers to frequently asked questions. And with my many years of experience and diligent research, I am always happy to answer any questions you have. Please don't hesitate to contact me directly!

For this model I begin with extra thick borosilicate("Pyrex") tubing,Then using pure gold and drops of clear glass I create the classic hobnail design. The gold make the glass appear a beautiful cranberry color. The flower and down stem are reinforced with ruby glass.

Each feeder comes with a 2-3 inch handmade copper S hook for hanging, instructions for use, additional tips, a simple nectar recipe, a short artist bio and Certificate of Authenticity.

Complimentary gift presentation with every feeder includes festive tissue and an organza gold floral bag. Whether you are purchasing for yourself or a loved one, these hummingbird feeders are a gift to be treasured.
If you are purchasing as a gift, I would be happy to include a lovely handmade card with a personal sentiment from you to your gift recipient. Please provide your message in the “note to seller” at checkout.

Filling your feeder:
Slowly pour nectar through the funnel shaped flower opening. For easy filling I recommend using a liquid measuring cup or a syrup/liquor pour spout. You can even fill this feeder while it is hanging.

Cleaning your feeder:
This feeder is designed to minimize bacterial/fungus growth, meaning less maintenance than conventional hummingbird feeders. Pour in water through the funnel opening. Fill it up. When you turn the feeder upside down to drain it, rock in a gentle circular motion. This will help increase the pressure of water coming out and quickly dislodge any debris from inside.

If debris is stuck to the inner wall of the feeder, pour in a mixture of 'undissolved' salt and 'ice cold' water (a couple teaspoons of this sludgy mixture will do the job). Swish the mixture around to gently remove the stubborn stuck debris. Then rinse the feeder thoroughly to remove the salt and debris, as described above. (Mold, if it is present, will not survive a salt rinse). An added step (in a most extreme case of stuck debris), submerge your feeder in warm salt water for a couple hours. Then do the salt rinse as described above.

Size Matters:
No drip means no waste. That's just one benefit. Your birds will enjoy all the freshest nectar from this glass container, untainted by plastic parts. Each feeder is about 4in X 4in at the bulb, about 6in. in height and holds 8-10 ounces of fresh nectar.

Introducing a New Feeder:
The easiest way to introduce a new feeder is to replace an established feeder. Once your hummers have accepted this new source of nectar, you can move the new feeder to another location and your birds will seek it.

If you're just starting out, with no established hummer traffic, be patient. Fill your new feeder part way and keep the nectar fresh. Face the flower opening out toward your yard. Hummers are very habit oriented. In a most extreme case, it can take a couple months for hummingbirds to accept a new nectar source.

Hanging Recommendation:
It is ideal to hang your feeder from the eves of your house or porch. Or from a wall hanging bracket.

A Little About the Artist:
I am a glass blower with over 25 years of experience. I have been hand crafting hummingbird feeders for over 13years. My hands are skilled in making a consistent quality product.

My connection with hummingbirds, like so many people I talk with, is actually sweet memories of my Grammy and annual visits with my family to her home in Maine when I was a kid. She had hummingbird feeders just outside of her kitchen window, where her hummers would endlessly compete for Grammy's sweet nectar. Whether we were inside the house, watching Grammy make her fresh homemade buttermilk biscuits (a beloved daily activity) or out in the yard taking turns riding with Grampy on his big tractor and ringing their bell (which I always thought could be the liberty bell) in the front yard. Those hummingbirds never failed to entertain me and my Grammy LOVED them so much. I think of her every time I see a hummingbird in my yard. In that way, she will always be with us (I couldn't possibly duplicate her biscuits).

My unique design has been well received for many years by hummingbirds and humans alike, from Alaska to Puerto Rico and from Nova Scotia to Southern California to Central America.

My hummingbird feeders have been featured in Birds & Blooms Magazine, the North Georgia Coast Wild Garden Society, local Master Gardeners, regional garden clubs throughout America and even made it on the cover of a magazine in Turkey.

All the photos I use (with hummingbirds) have been taken by my customers, friends, family and a few are from my own back yard. And scroll down to the feedback section to see some more great photos from my wonderful customers. I would love to see pictures of your Mae Family Hummingbird Feeder in action.

I strive, with inventive creativity, to build products with superior function, that not only ARE beautiful, but help preserve the beauty of our amazing planet. These feeders are built to last. This is the legacy I leave for my children's children. As my family celebrates our connection with Grammy through hummingbirds. We can now embrace that connection further by hanging my hummingbird feeders, the same ones I hang in my own yard, generation after generation.

Thank you for your interest in my hummingbird feeders. I am always happy to answer any questions you have.
