Quick Answer: First Nature’s hummingbird feeder line centers on two capacities of the same wide-mouth bottle design: the 3051 (16 oz, 10 ports, around $13) and the 3055 (32 oz, 10 ports, around $13-$21 depending on retailer and pack size) — plus the Starter Kit (3057, 16 oz feeder + nectar concentrate, around $15-$18) for first-time buyers. All three share the same 10-port, two-part base that twists apart for cleaning, so the real decision is capacity and whether you want nectar included, not which one performs better.
Our best hummingbird feeder guide already names the First Nature 3055 the best capacity/value pick, but First Nature actually sells a small family of feeders built around that same wide-mouth bottle body. Here’s how the lineup compares.
First Nature lineup by the numbers
- 10 feeding ports on every current model — the 3051, 3055, and Starter Kit all share the same 10-port lid, more ports than most saucer-style feeders offer, which lets several hummingbirds feed at once during peak migration.
- 2x capacity spread between the 3051 and 3055 — 16 oz versus 32 oz on the exact same base and port design, so the larger model just means fewer refills, not a different feeder.
- Made in the USA, per First Nature’s own product listings — the two-part base and sealing ring are manufactured domestically, unlike some import bottle feeders.
- Hummingbirds drink roughly half their body weight in nectar a day, according to the National Audubon Society — a big reason the 32 oz 3055 appeals to busy yards that would otherwise refill a smaller feeder every couple of days.
The First Nature lineup compared
| Model | Capacity | Ports | Includes nectar | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3051 | 16 oz | 10 | No | around $13 |
| 3055 | 32 oz | 10 | No | around $13-$21 |
| Starter Kit (3057) | 16 oz | 10 | Yes (4 oz concentrate) | around $15-$18 |
1. First Nature 3055 — Best Capacity & Value
First Nature 3055 32 oz Hummingbird Feeder
- 32 oz capacity through 10 feeding ports — the largest reservoir in the lineup, for fewer refills during peak season.
- Wide-mouth base unscrews for easy filling and full-access cleaning.
- Two-part sealing ring resists leaks better than most narrow-neck bottle feeders.

If you’ve got a busy yard — or just hate refilling every couple of days — the 3055’s 32 oz reservoir is the pick our best hummingbird feeder guide already ranks best for capacity and value. It’s a bottle design, so plan to empty and clean it on the same schedule you would any hummingbird feeder rather than letting nectar sit just because there’s more of it.
2. First Nature 3051 — Best Standard Size
First Nature 3051 16 oz Hummingbird Feeder
- 16 oz capacity through the same 10-port lid as the 3055, in a smaller, lighter body.
- Same two-part twist-apart base and wide mouth for easy cleaning.
- A more manageable size for a single feeder station or a smaller yard.
The 3051 is the right call if 32 oz is more nectar than your yard’s hummingbird traffic actually needs — you get the identical 10-port design and cleaning routine in a body that empties (and needs refilling) on a more predictable cadence, which can mean less wasted nectar in a slower yard.
3. First Nature Hummingbird Starter Kit — Best for First-Time Feeders
First Nature 3057 Hummingbird Starter Kit
- Bundles the same 16 oz, 10-port feeder as the standalone 3051 with a 4 oz bottle of nectar concentrate.
- Includes a hummingbird brochure aimed at first-time feeders.
- One purchase covers both the feeder and the first refill, with no separate nectar recipe to source on day one.
If this is your first hummingbird feeder, the Starter Kit removes the one extra step beginners usually have to figure out — what to fill it with. The bundled concentrate gets you through the first refill; after that, mixing your own 4:1 sugar-water is cheaper than buying concentrate long-term. See our how to attract hummingbirds guide for the full nectar recipe and placement tips.
Which First Nature feeder should you buy?
- Busy yards, infrequent refills: the 3055 — 32 oz and 10 ports, the best per-ounce value in the lineup.
- A single feeder or slower yard: the 3051 — same design, smaller and lighter, less wasted nectar if traffic is light.
- First hummingbird feeder ever: the Starter Kit — feeder plus nectar concentrate in one purchase.
Whichever model you pick, it’s a bottle design rather than a saucer — see our best hummingbird feeder guide if you’d rather compare it against the leak-proof Aspects HummZinger or a budget glass bottle feeder like the More Birds Ruby.
The bottom line
The First Nature 3055 stays the best value pick for most yards — 32 oz and 10 ports for around $13-$21, well below what a saucer feeder of similar capacity costs. Step down to the 3051 for a smaller yard, or start with the Starter Kit if you’re setting up your very first feeder and want the nectar handled for you. All three share the same wide-mouth, twist-apart cleaning design that earned First Nature its spot in our best hummingbird feeder rankings — see our best bird feeder brands roundup for how First Nature stacks up against Aspects, Bird Buddy, Birdfy, and the rest of the field.
