Copper hummingbird feeders
Hanging copper hummingbird feeders will serve more than one purpose -- they are more than just feeders, they are decorations.
First of all, copper is a classic material choice that will age well and develop a lovely patina over time. Cooper will first change from its bright, brassy color to a deeper red-brown and then finally develop a the greenish blue color of aged copper. Many consumers prefer the natural progression of colors of copper as it ages.
Copper requires no maintenance if you want it to develop that desirable patina. In hummingbird feeders, you will need to clean the glass or plastic tube that holds the nectar. Many people that prefer copper feeders actually have more than one tube for each feeder so that they can simply replace a dirty or empty tube with a clean one filled with fresh nectar.
The appearance of copper hummingbird feeders differs greatly from the traditional flowery glass or plastic feeders. These artistic copper renditions are often twisted and coaxed into a desired shape by a copper artisan. The copper version can be a work of art in itself that attracts hummingbirds with tubes filled with sweet nectar.
