A safety hummingbird feeder having a substantially cylindrical reservoir, an elongate feeding tube, and a cap. The reservoir has a reduced surface area and is intended to hold a limited amount of liquid sugar solution to reduce or eliminate spoilage and molding. The feeding port tube is made of soft, flexible material and may include a plurality of slits configured to prevent a withdrawing hummingbird from injuring its bill. The hummingbird feeder maximizes safety for a feeding humming bird by reducing or eliminating intestinal injury commonly caused by ingestion of spoiled and/or molded liquid sugar solution and the flexible feeding port tube minimizes the risk of bill injury for a retreating hummingbird.
