Opus(R) Launches GardenSong(R) - Carefree Hummingbird Feeders, Ready-to-Use Hummingbird Food and Concentrate with Built-in Measuring Device; Consumers Now Can Enjoy the Most Efficient, Easy and Spill-Free Hummingbird Feeding Process Available on the Market.

BELLINGHAM, Mass. -- Opus Incorporated, a leading international marketer of home and garden products and outdoor accessories, today announced a new breakthrough in hummingbird feeding - the Carefree Hummingbird Feeders and Ready-to-Use Hummingbird Food. This new generation of bird feeders and food is designed to provide the most easy and efficient hummingbird feeding experience available.

GardenSong - CareFree Hummingbird Feeders are patent-pending feeders designed to provide a completely enjoyable hummingbird-feeding experience. Through revolutionary filling systems, the feeders are the easiest-to-fill hummingbird feeders available on the market - addressing consumers' desire to eliminate spilling. Like all Opus products, the feeders have ornithologically correct designs and are quality constructed to be air-tight and leak-proof. To guard against unwanted guests, they incorporate ant moats and have built-in bee guards. The feeders come in glass or plastic depending on the birders' preference.

With its GardenSong - Carefree Ready-to-Use Hummingbird Food, Opus has created nectar that is ready to use right out of the bottle. This dramatic innovation completely eliminates the need for mixing and is made from 100 percent sucrose to simulate the nectar from flowers.

Opus also is launching its new Hummingbird Food Concentrate with Built-In Measuring Device, eliminating the need for a separate measuring container.

"Our GardenSong - CareFree Hummingbird feeders are completely unique because of their wide-mouth filling systems," said John Stone, chairman and chief executive officer of Opus. "Most people who feed hummingbirds find that it is difficult to fill the feeders because of narrow openings in which to pour the nectar. We have completely eliminated that problem. And, in addition, people no longer have to go through the tedious and messy process of pre-mixing nectar prior to filling their feeders. With our GardenSong - CareFree Hummingbird Ready-to-Use Food, they simply pour and fill."

"Also for those who use concentrate, we have eliminated the need to use a separate measuring device as our new container automatically measures the concentrate for different sized feeders," said Stone.

Top Fill Hummingbird Feeder 

The first-ever top-filled hummingbird feeder on the market, this unique feeder allows birders to easily fill the feeder by pouring nectar through the wide-mouth top. Consumers simply flip a lever to the fill position, unscrew the top, fill the feeder and flip the lever back to feed. This durable plastic container has a 20-ounce capacity and has sculpted feeding flowers that are more organic and flexible than ever before. Each flower has a built-in bee guard.
