Some hummer feeders just have yellow "flowers" glued on the red
reservoir, often so lossely attached that they fall off.  Others
have a long plastic connection that goes into the reservoir.
These differences are best seen when you take the bottom off the
reservoir for cleaning.  By the way, the proboscis of a butterfly
is long enough to reach the sugar water in these feeders - and
you don't have to worry about butterflies chasing the hummers
away!
