The most important thing is to find a feeder that is easy to clean. I 
have two -- the most recent one from Walmart is very easy to clean since 
the bottom come off easily. This feeder does not have yellow "flowers" 
-- my older feeder does and the hummers seem to "like" it more but they 
still come around.

To feed, 1/4C white sugar to make 1C of solution (I dissolve the sugar 
in about 1/2C hot water, then add cold water to pour into the feeder).
