I have a new plan #226198 Aug 4th, 2008 at 03:51 PM Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 19,236 Likes: 33 Monroe, NC Bestofour Patriot Bestofour Patriot Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 19,236 Likes: 33 Monroe, NC I have 5 feeders. The hummers suck the bottom out of 3 of them and don't touch the other 2. So I'm trying to trick the birds. I've cleaned them, filled them, and hung them out in different spots. We'll see what happens now.

When the two of them are not fighting each other for control of the feeders, they go from feeder to feeder spending at least 30 seconds at each feeder in turn. Then, they perch above or next to the feeders to drive the other one away if it shows up. The NEW hummer is a female and has an ODD white patch on top of her head, like a Catholic Monk so I call her Fra Hummer. The other one is my old friend, Hummercane Camille.

The flowered one, that my daughter has one just like it and they suck it dry, the hummers haven't touched. Picky, picky, picky.

So what have we learned here? 1. That Thorn had his eyes fixed and can now see that he's bald. 2. That dodge REALLY doesn't know the difference between a blue jay and a hummingbird. 3. That Belinda hangs out her hummingbird feeders but doesn't put any nectar in them. 4. And last but now least that you take a hummer to the nectar but you can't make him drink.
