You will love them when they start coming around, Rootswoman! I'm not sure how to tell the difference from male/female, either. I've tried a couple of different feeders, one of which was glass and red on the bottom and top but they didn't seem to like it at all. We found these cheap ones at Menard's (sort of like a Lowe's or Home Depot store) which are bags with one opening for the hummers to get their food. The bags are painted with flowers all over them and are not see through. They worked great!
