Abstract
A hummingbird feeder includes a top wall and a bottom wall, the top and bottom walls being joined at their peripheries to define an enclosure constituting a reservoir. A feeding station is positioned in the top wall, the feeding station comprising a feed opening in the top wall. A cleaning opening is provided in the top wall. The cleaning opening is of sufficient size for enabling the cleaning of the reservoir. A cap selectively covers the cleaning opening, the cap being movable for exposing the cleaning opening when it is desired to clean the reservoir. In another embodiment, an upwardly extending boss formed in the bottom wall has a downwardly opening bore adapted to receive therein a member for mounting the feeder in an upright position. Alternatively, a hook adapter having a hook for hanging articles from the feeder is threadably attached to the bottom wall.
