Product Description
This wonderful new product provides hummingbirds with a nesting material that they will really use! A coated metal cage holds a large slab of soft, natural nesting material. The hummingbirds gently pick the fibers from the bundle and use them to line their nests. The Hummer Helper helps take the place of spider webs and lichen in lining the tiny nests. (Goldfinches, Titmice, and other birds will use it too!)
Comes with one wire cage and one slab of stuffing. Suction cup hook not included.

 Hummers love it! April 9, 2010
AvidBirder (Columbus,OH)
I had this product last year and I had to refill it 3 times the hummers used it so much! I have done research and read the material is actually all natural too so it is better for the hummingbirds. I hope I have the same success next year
 Birds were frightened by it February 24, 2010

I hate to give a product less than 4 or 5 stars but I never had a single taker with this product. I left it out for more than 3/4 of the summer and the birds wouldn't go near it. The previous summer I put clean pet hair in a wire ball that was designed for feeding lettuce snacks to pet bunny rabbits (check the image gallery for this product). I hung that out and had all kinds of goldfinches and titmouses going after it. It really was a sight to see. Then, as I said, I hung this product up last summer right next to the wire ball of pet hair and the birds were so frightened of the Hummer Helper Cage that they wouldn't even take the pet hair because it was too close to this big scary thing. At first I just figured they were uninterested this year for some silly reason. Until I took down the hummer helper cage. Before the summer was even over I had a female ruby-throated hummingbird showing INTENSE curiosity about my pet hair ball and the goldfinches eventually took it all. It wasn't even the time of year for nesting but they clearly liked it (I have a photo of that, too, in the image gallery). That's when I realized all along that the only problem had been the hummer cage. Next year, I'll only be putting out the ball of clean pet hair. I gave this product 3 stars instead of a lower rating because it's a good concept and seemed well-made, and because birds in other areas may not be frightened of it (after all, they each have their own personality). But for me, I'm probably going to give it to another friend who's a bird lover. She lives a half hour away and the birds near her seem a little less fickle.
 Someone enjoyed this! July 17, 2009

I hung the Hummer Helper in a tree 6 weeks ago (late May) and the nesting material is completely gone. Don't know if hummers snatched some of it, but I did find pieces of the material in two abandoned sparrow nests. The rack held up fine. I'm ordering a refill.

We have humming birds all over the place but the birds have no interest in this product. I've yet to see them come near it.
 Where are the birds? June 16, 2009
Kathleen H. Wilmer (Phoenix, AZ)
I've only had the nesting kit for two weeks and then noticed it laying on the ground yesterday. The chain had broken right in the middle. I can tie a string on to it to get it back in the tree, but I didn't think the kit would wear out so soon. Also, I haven't seen one hummingbird come by and grab cotton for a nest. They did pick up some dog fur that was laying on the ground after I brushed my dog. My neighbors got a good laugh out the nesting kit.
