I've watched several videos by:

And was intrigued by the soldering iron she uses. I was working on a wall candle holder to place outside anyway, so when the smoke cleared, I made this. We don't get many hummingbirds but I haven't seen it used in the last day or two it's been set up. Will update if I do.

BTW, I thought about adding a perch.

Creative.
I have a small metal'flower' from a broken hummer feeder but have never thought to stick it in a cup like that, or little jar, or something. I have one of those exact cups.
Plant it and they will come.

How do you see them getting the nectar?

They don't need perches as they can hover. But it is a good start.
I am not sure about the purple color though. My hummingbird feeders have little red flowers with yellow centers. Those are suppose to be their favorites. But I can't get them to stay still long enough so I can ask them! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

The people is just the frame/candle holder. The actual flower part was taken from a junked hummingbird feeder.
