Solar Hummingbird Feeder, $16.99 at Hobby Lobby
Here, just in time for a good seasonal refresh, Hobby Lobby's Solar Hummingbird Feeder sports an easy-to-use design complemented by solar-powered functionality, LED lights and a clear glass construction with a wavy embossed texture. Complete with a red plastic base featuring three hinged perches and white flowers for birds to poke their beaks into and get a drink, it's a fully functional feeder that requires very little maintenance but packs loads of visual charm.
So how does it work? Simply fill the main chamber with hummingbird nectar, close the lid tightly and hang the feeder from a shepherd's hook, branch or something similar with its integrated wire handle. From there, you can enjoy continuously changing LED colors of red, green and blue, each of which activates at dusk after charging throughout the day. As a backup, a single rechargeable AA Ni-MH battery is included, which comes in handy on overcast or otherwise inclement weather days.

"Beautiful hummingbird feeder for day and night enjoyment," one fan raved in a review. "It's wonderful to watch in the evening."
Another fan chimed in, noting how much they "enjoy these solar bird feeders" and commenting that because of the glass, they "look pretty at night in our back yard."
Some fans did have a few helpful tips, however, for those who snag one for themselves. One suggested keeping the glass clean to ensure a long-lasting look, while another noted that the lid where the solar panel is located was difficult to open. With that in mind, a firm grip and a solid tug should do the trick in getting it open. That said, the shopper still gave the feeder 4 out of 5 stars, lending to its overall good value.
Standing 10.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches deep, this fun little backyard accent is a great way to create a more lively atmosphere in your yard and potentially enjoy some up-close experiences with hummingbirds and other winged friends. Don't miss out on adding one to your space, and maybe take advantage of its affordable price and grab one for a loved-one as well.
