fantastic idea! If this works for me you have saved me HOURS of work every yr. I fill 12 of the QUART size feeders TWICE a day once the babies fledge until migration. We get swarms of the little darlings, but it takes all my time to keep feeders clean and full. THANK you for this idea!!

Totally awesome...do you have issues with yellow jackets or ants? If so, how do you deal with them? Thanks for sharing this!

@knt3119 very few problems with ants or wasps because its in the mountains at a high elevation.

more ...add the remainder of the water LATER (the 8 gal version is just too big too drag around). I start the season with the 3 gal, go to the 5 and 8 gal and then back down to the 3 as the season winds down. Send me a link to your project next year. Good luck.

glad to help it certainly cut down my work and the expense of all those feeders. Remember, you can't hang these things so you have to build some kind of platform up away from critters. I got some black PVC pipe with a flat cap or collar and put a plywood platform on top of that. It has a little lip to help center it. Make sure you can reach the top from either a deck or something. I clean it out, add the right amount of sugar and just enough warm water to melt the sugar.
