Our Mission
The idea for the Glass Sipper was based on a special friendship between a tiny hummingbird and a friendly human.
Crafted with Intention.
Inspired by Gracie.
The Glass Sipper was born from a remarkable friendship.
For eight consecutive summers, a hummingbird Jacqueline Crivello lovingly named Gracie returned to visit her. What began as curiosity became trust. What became trust turned into connection. Year after year, Gracie’s visits were a reminder that even the smallest wings can leave the biggest imprint on our hearts.
That relationship inspired a simple but powerful question: Is there a better, safer way to feed our bejeweled babies?
With 35 years of experience in the bird feeding industry, Jacqueline set out to design a feeder that put hummingbird health first. The result is a thoughtfully engineered product that may be one of the safest on the market. An all-glass nectar reservoir eliminates concerns about microplastics or toxins leaching into nectar. Human-grade materials provide durability without compromise. The anti-microbial top helps discourage the development of bacteria and fungus. It’s dishwasher safe, leak-resistant, fade-resistant, and designed in incredibly vibrant colors that naturally attract hummingbirds.
Every detail was created with intention because when a hummingbird trusts you enough to return year after year, you owe them your very best.
The Magic of Wings book is also Gracie’s story. It’s a celebration of the wonder, loyalty, and beauty these tiny creatures bring into our lives. It’s about noticing the miracle in the everyday and honoring the delicate connection between humans and nature.
At its heart, the Glass Sipper is more than a feeder. It’s an invitation to slow down, to look up, and to welcome the magic back into your backyard.
