Roy's Hand-Blown Hummingbird Feeder
Blown by Hand in the Stillaguamish Valley
Roy Henley, 69, has spent 32 years at the furnace in an old dairy barn outside Stanwood, Washington. He made his first two feeders for his wife Marge in the snow of 1996, and he still blows every one himself.
Only 212 left from this firing
There's nothing blooming in December. Nothing red for a mile. That feeder is the only flower he's going to see, so it had better be worth looking at.
Why It Matters Now
Anna's hummingbirds stay all winter from California to British Columbia, and rufous hummingbirds winter across the Gulf states. Leaving a feeder up doesn't stop migration . It gives late travelers a place to refuel.
With almost nothing in bloom in winter, the color in the glass is what draws them in . They find food by sight first.
Perch bars between the ports let a bird drink without hovering after a long night that burned through its energy.
It hangs at eye level on its own S-hook, so the first thing you see in the morning can be a hummingbird in the snow .
What Makes It Different
Each reservoir is gathered on a blowpipe and shaped freehand, not pressed in a mold . Any swirl that turns out muddy goes back into the furnace.
Crushed colored glass is rolled in at the furnace, so the color can't fade, wash off or peel . No red dye needed in the nectar.
Four red flower-shaped ports with perch bars between them, so more than one bird can feed at once.
No clouding, no scratches for mold to hide in. The base comes off for a quick brush and rinse.
Nectar starts to freeze around 27°F. Roy's trick since 1996: two feeders , one warming inside, swapped at first light.
Roy fires his furnace twice a year. 212 are left from the October firing, packed and shipped by his granddaughter Wren.
What Arrives at Your Door
Ready in Five Minutes
Mix 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water , let it cool and fill the glass. No dye, no honey.
Hook it under a porch eave or on a shepherd's hook, sunny and out of the wind , where you can see it.
Rinse and refill every 3–4 days in winter , more often when it's warm.
"Most people still take their feeders down after Labor Day so the birds will 'know to leave.' Migration doesn't work that way. It runs on day length. What has changed is who stays: Anna's hummingbirds year-round up the Pacific coast, rufous hummingbirds across the Gulf states. In winter a feeder has two jobs : be thawed at first light, and be clean."
Three Blends, One Furnace
Quality You Can Check Yourself
- Real hand-blown glass: hold it to the light and the swirl runs through the glass, not across it.
- No two alike: set two side by side and the pattern is different on each.
- Color that can't fade: nothing is painted or printed on the glass.
- Every surface reachable: base off, bottle brush in, done.

Good to Know
Will leaving it up stop hummingbirds from migrating?
No. Migration is triggered by day length, not food. A feeder left up simply helps late travelers refuel.
How long should I leave it up?
All winter on the Pacific coast and across the South. Farther north and east, until two weeks after the last bird you see, then bring it in before the hard freezes.
Can the glass crack in a freeze?
Any feeder can crack if the nectar freezes solid. A 4:1 mix starts to freeze around 27°F, so bring it in on nights well below freezing, or keep a second one warm inside and swap at first light.
What about ants and bees?
In cold months they're barely a factor. In summer, keep it clean and drip-free. If ants find it, hang a small ant moat between the hook and the feeder.
How fast does it ship?
Every order ships within 2–4 business days from Washington, U.S. only, wrapped by hand.
- Nectar: 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water. No honey, no red dye.
- Where: sunny, out of the wind, where you can see it from a window.
- Cleaning: hot water and a bottle brush at every refill; a vinegar soak (1:4) once a month.
- Coldest nights: a short string of old-fashioned incandescent lights above the feeder helps keep it thawed.
- Handmade: swirl, color and small bubbles vary on every piece.
