Gotta tell you, that type of feeder tends to drip no matter what.

I got a replacement tip at Wild Birds Unlimited years ago. I ended up not using it because it dripped and attracted ants.

Over the years, I have collected probably 60 to 70 feeders, including what you are talking about, and like txspice says Gotta tell you, that type of feeder tends to drip no matter what. I got a replacement tip at Wild Birds Unlimited years ago. I ended up not using it because it dripped and attracted ants. And some of the ones I have using a wine bottle with a regular type port still was not used by the hummers.

I clicked way back to the 50th page to read and saw this hilarious pic.. wanted to re-share it :)
