They prefer suet feeders. Mine love it, even if I go out on the
balcony, or the cat, the suet wins. I believe if I put suet on my
hand they would take it.

Other birds can't perch on my hummingbird feeder like that since it's shaped
differently.

Great shot! I've never seen a downy woodpecker at my hummingbird
feeder. I see them scooting up and down trees.

I did see a butterfly and a hummingbird both sipping from the feeder at
the same time. Of course I did not have a camera on hand. The bird was
watching the butterfly carefully, sipped from a couple of ports. The
bird was leery of the butterfly, friend or foe?

The butterfly couldn't have cared less. It was *really* fascinating to
see it unfurl it's proboscis and drink from the port in the feeder.

The skies can be very intense down here. Especially after a

I wish I could find the photo a neighbor took down by the marina not
long ago. The rainbow was fantastic.

You want her to show you her hummingbird feeder? I don't know about
hers but mine is a Perky Pet Hummzinger feeder. It looks like a flying
saucer. The design is like this:

I'm sorry I cannot take a photo of my hummingbird feeder ATM since it's
dark outside.

It would definitely not be leery. Years ago when I lived outside town
I had encouraged all sorts of birds. Then a grackle decided to nest
in one of the fir trees. It drove all the other birds away from all
the feeders, but no way it managed to drive away the hummers, they
just dive bombed it. I don't know if you have grackles but they are
not a small bird.

I've seen that type of feeder and it would be easier than mine for
woodpeckers to perch on it, yours has those perches all around each
feeding port, mine has no perches, however woodpecker's legs are such
that they can grab on to most anything as they march up and down tree
trunks. Hummingbirds don't need to perch to feed, in fact I've never
seen them perch when feeding, not even from flowers... occasionally
they'll perch on my wire fence.

You've already sent me photos of things around your house so I know
you feed birds. Some people need to make snide/negative comments but
never prove their claims.

Mine is:

the perch detaches with a small screw underneath and I keep it off so other
birds can't perch on it, so KMA.

That's the same bottle as mine but with a different feeder part.
However posting an advert off the net in no way proves you feed
hummingbirds, in fact lifting a pic off the net after being called on
it only goes to prove how dishonest you are. You'd have been much
further ahead had you STFU.

I have fed hummingbirds for 25 plus years, and also belonged to The
Hummingbird Society for many years. I have no need to take a pic of ANYTHING
I have, cook, or do to satisfy you, especially since you know you're wrong
about my feeder which doesn't allow other birds to drain it like yours does,
so as I said, KMhummingbirdfeedingA...

After 25 years you'd certainly have photos,
lots. You must expect folks to believe your

A few years ago we were walking through a friend's garage and there was
a humming bid sitting on an electrical cable. We sat down and watched
it for a while because it was such a rare sight. He stayed for quite a
while. I have lots of flowers and flowering shrubs around my patio and
attract lots of humming birds, but they all fly, hover and leave. That
was the only time I ever saw one perched.

I was sitting outside reading a book a couple of weeks ago when it was
relatively cool (heh). I was wearing a bright red shirt. A hummingbird
flew up and hovered right in front of me! (They really are attracted to
red.) Silly bird, the feeder is over there.

I know a bit about hummingbirds. They pretty much have to eat
constantly because they have extremely high metabolisms. They also have
to sleep. So at night (and when it's cold) they go into a state of
torpor. Their metabolism drops drastically and their heart rate slows
waaaay down. When it starts to warm up in the morning their bodies
reverse the process and they gradually wake up. Then they're off for
another day of flying around, eating.

You've taken photos of every one your friggin' cheapo tube steaks for
25 years and most look like so covered with shit you can't find the
tube... but I've never admonished you for lying about cooking. You
post photos of your cooking all the time so no one can say you don't
cook. Most looks fine, some not so fine but so what, at least you're
not boasting about your cooking and never showing anything. It's
those who boast how they cook everything from scratch but never post
pictures who I say are lying... and when they are called to show a
photo of their stove they post a link to an ad on the net. Hey
everyone, check out my new wheels:

I never said I didn't have photos you melon, I said I have no need to post
pictures of anything just to satisfy you, you'll have to do that with your
own hand, but please don't post a photo.

They usually attack me when I refill their feeder, they're very
territorial and posssive about their feeder. Today I bought new
feeder food, a syrup concentrate instead of the sugar, 1 part syrup to
3 parts water. I bought it at Lowe's:

Ornithologists always advocate making your own syrup, one part sugar
to four of water. The red dye in the boughten syrup is unnecessary
and bad for them.

Criticising food additives is not the done thing in this "cooking"
newsgroup, but I agree.

So I guess the red dye is to attract them? Someone mentioned that they
are attracted to the color red. It's hard to believe they could just
live off of sugar water. Do these birds die very young from diabetes?
They *do* get plenty of exercise though with all the mega wing action.

I assume they get other nutritional needs from some other source but if
they have a bird feeder handy, would they even bother eating anywhere
else? Are hummingbird feeders the "fast-food" joints for them?

Guess it's time to Google them. :-D

That is true, however all the hummer feeders I have seen have plenty
of red plastic to bring them in, they just don't need food dye.

They do eat other things, when they arrive here in May there are few
flowers blooming and they eat little flying bugs.

No, I always put them out early so they were there to freshen up from
a long flight. Yes, it definitely meant it attracted them to nest in
the vicinity but although I had a beach at the bottom of the garden, I
had woods at the back. Their nests are nearly impossible to find,
tiny, tiny and the egg is usually the size of a pea. To know exactly
when to fill up the feeders and put outside I followed the hummer map
which shows their progress.

http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html

The strange thing here is that I put out a feeder on a tree I can see
from my dining room window and a woman in the garden below called up
to me and told me I was wasting my time, she had tried for several
years and although two streets over on Coronation Street (yes, truly
that's its name!) they are plentiful, they just don't come here. She
was correct, so now I enjoy them at my kids houses.

They eat gnats, mosquitoes, bugs etc. There is no need for red nectar at
all, most feeders have red on them which attracts them.

Or you could put out a feeder for them

The red dye in the sugar water is what is unnecessary. They definitely
are attracted to red. Mainly red flowers with lots of natural nectar.
Of course they will supplement sugar water from feeders if there are not
sufficient flowers around to provide them that mainstay of energy. And
yes, they do also eat tiny flying insects.

If they have natural flowers around that are abundant in nectar I'm sure
they would go for them, first.

I don't happen to have any of these flowers growing around my house or yard:

I'll just hang a feeder with sugar water.

Hummingbirds feed on small flying insects (gnats etc.) for protein,
the nectar provides energy for flitting about.

The red is a natural plant dye same as in tons of human foods. Those
who say to mix your own it's strictly for political reasons, they are
against businesses making a buck, in fact the pet product companies
who sell hummer syrup charge less than the price of plain white sugar,
and their product is cleaner, it's sterile. Mixing ones own is not
always recommended, many people's tap water contains added chemicals
(chlorine, flouride) and may even be polluted to begin with. For
hummers I use distilled water, about $3/gal at Walmart.

Fluoride is good for hummingbirds' teeth. They don't get it from water
they drink in the wild.

Don't be dense! The syrup needs to be boiled.
