Best DIY Hummingbird Feeder With Glass Bottle
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A glass bottle hummingbird feeder is either a finished glass feeder or a bottle you fit with a feeding flower. This guide covers both. The five picks are finished glass feeders, plus one DIY kit that uses a glass bottle you already own. Two replacement tube sets are listed as parts for building your own. The listing data was checked on 11 October 2026 and is shown as the sellers state it.
Quick answer: if you want a feeder you can hang on the day it arrives, choose a glass feeder whose listing states its nectar capacity and an ant moat. If you want to build one from a bottle you already have, the Kufoo kit is the only pick designed for that.

How we chose these five
We kept feeders that state a nectar capacity or a bottle size, name a glass or bottle component, and describe a feeding design. We did not test any feeder, and nothing below reports personal use.
- Glass bottle: each pick uses a glass bottle, either sold with the feeder or supplied by you in the DIY kit.
- Feeding design: each pick names its feeding ports, perches or ant protection as the listing describes them.
- Listing clarity: where a listing gives two figures for the same field, both are shown below.
1. Perky-Pet Glass Hummingbird Feeders, 2-pack
The listing states an 8 oz nectar capacity for each feeder, and the pack holds two. The feeders are glass with four flower-shaped feeding ports and U-shaped perches. The listing describes a built-in ant moat, which you fill with water, and bee guards on the ports. The wide-mouth glass bottle is listed as easy to fill and clean. The Recommended Uses field reads Water, while the bullets describe nectar, so use the bullet description when you plan the feeder’s job.

2. Kingsyard Glass Hummingbird Feeders, 2-pack
This 2-pack lists 10 ounces for each feeder. It has a built-in ant moat and five flower-shaped feeding ports, which the listing says are sized for hummingbird beaks. The listing describes a two-part base that it says gives zero leakage and opens for cleaning, and a 360-degree perch. The bottle is clear and wide-mouthed, and the listing says the whole feeder comes apart for cleaning. The listing’s claims about leakage are the seller’s statements, and the listing does not give a test result for them.

3. More Birds Ruby Hummingbird Feeder
This single feeder holds 10 fluid ounces of nectar and has four flower-shaped feeding ports. The listing describes a built-in ant moat, and it says the red top and base attract hummingbirds. The product is listed as glass and plastic. The Number of Items field gives one feeder, so the 10-ounce figure applies to one bottle.

4. Best-1 Original 32 oz Glass Hummingbird Feeder
This is the largest capacity in the group, at 32 fluid ounces. The listing describes it as a hand painted glass feeder with a plastic base. The base is recessed, which the listing says keeps other birds and insects from feeding, and it separates for cleaning. The listing says there is no O-ring to fit, it will not rust, and it is made in the USA. The bottle is listed as ready to hang, with instructions included.

5. Kufoo DIY Hummingbird Feeder, Single Flower
This is the one pick for a glass bottle you already have. The kit is a plastic feeding flower with a suction cup. The listing says the kit is compatible with most bottle types, including beer and beverage bottles. You clean and dry the bottom of the bottle, peel the film from the suction cup, center it, and press it firmly, with no bubbles under it. The listing does not give a capacity for the finished feeder, so you cannot compare its nectar volume with the other picks. It is listed as suitable for gardens, courtyards, patios and balconies.

DIY tube parts: the build-it-yourself option
If you already have a bottle and a cap, you can buy the feeding tube alone. The Creative Hobbies pack has three floral tubes, each with a stopper 1 inch long that tapers from 15/16 inch at the top to 5/8 inch at the bottom. The HASSLICKIT pack of three has the same stated dimensions and a red flower tip. Both listings say the tubes can replace worn parts or start a new feeder. Check the tube’s bottom diameter against your bottle’s opening before you buy, because the listings give a range, not a fit guarantee.

Worked example: how much nectar per feeder?
Take the Perky-Pet 2-pack. Each feeder states 8 oz, so the pack holds 16 oz in total. The Kingsyard 2-pack states 10 oz each, which makes 20 oz in total. The Best-1 bottle, at 32 oz, holds four times as much as one Perky-Pet feeder (32 divided by 8). The Best-1 holds more than any other single bottle in this group, so it needs refilling least often, though the listing gives no weight for the bottle when it is full.
Now check the DIY tube. The stopper is 1 inch long, and its top diameter is 15/16 inch. Those are the two figures to compare with your bottle opening. Measure the neck of your bottle before you buy a tube, because the listings do not say which bottle openings they fit.
What the listings do not say
No listing gives a nectar change schedule or a cleaning interval. The leak-proof and ant-proof claims are the sellers’ statements, and no listing gives a field test result. The Kufoo listing gives no capacity for the finished feeder, and the Creative Hobbies and HASSLICKIT listings give tube dimensions but not a bottle fit.
- Recommended use: the Perky-Pet listing gives Water as the recommended use, while its bullets describe nectar feeding.
- Capacity units: some listings give ounces and others give fluid ounces. The figures are shown as each listing gives them.
Frequently asked questions
Is a glass hummingbird feeder safer than plastic?
None of the listings compares glass with plastic for hummingbird health. The Best-1 listing says its feeder will not rust. Check the bottle and the feeding ports for cracks after every fill.
Can I use any glass bottle to make a feeder?
The Kufoo listing says its kit is compatible with most bottle types, including beer and beverage bottles. The kit needs a clean, dry bottom surface for the suction cup and paste to hold. Check the bottle’s base shape before you buy the kit.
What size tube fits a DIY feeder?
Both tube listings give a 1-inch long stopper that tapers from 15/16 inch at the top to 5/8 inch at the bottom. Measure your bottle’s opening against those figures. The listings do not state which bottle sizes the tubes fit.
How much nectar should a feeder hold?
The listed capacities run from 8 oz for one Perky-Pet feeder to 32 fluid ounces for the Best-1 bottle. A smaller feeder needs refilling more often. A larger one holds more but is heavier when full, so choose by how often you can refill it.
Do ant moats work?
Perky-Pet, Kingsyard and More Birds all describe a built-in ant moat that you fill with water. The listings say the moat blocks crawling ants, but none gives a test result. Check the moat level after rain or a hot day.
Conclusion
For a ready-to-hang glass feeder, the Kingsyard 2-pack and the Perky-Pet 2-pack are the two picks with the clearest capacity and ant-moat figures. The Best-1 is the choice for the largest single bottle. The Kufoo kit is the way to use a bottle you already have, and the tube parts are for builders who want the feeding flower alone.
