If you are interested in feeding hummingbirds but you do not already have a compatible feeder and pole, we recommend purchasing The Ant-Mote™ Kit, which includes The Ant-Mote™, a two-part pole, and an authentic Aspects HummZinger HighView nectar feeder. However, if you do not have a pole and purchasing a complete kit is not an option for you, most of our retail partners carry The Ant-Mote™ plus a selection of poles and feeders.

If neither of those options is available to you, True Value, Lowe’s, and Home Depot likely carry commonly available Schedule M copper tubing, which works perfectly well and weathers beautifully. Note that to have an outside diameter of ⅝” (.625”), it is important to look for a tube labeled ½” (.5”) inside diameter.

At the moment, we do not offer shipping to Canada through our website. However, you can see a map of our Canadian retail partners on our store locator page.
