Abstract
A passive hummingbird water feeder and a feeding method thereof. By setting up an air cavity pipe, a delivery pipe, and a water storage bladder, and based on the siphon principle, water is introduced from the container into the water storage bladder without power with water level maintained, allowing water filling directly from above the container. The design simulates the foraging habits of hummingbirds, and enables photographing of flowers and birds.
