I miss them each winter when they leave. <br />Your feeder is beautiful and enjoyed the picture of the cardinal. We do not get them where we live.<br />It will soon be time for us to get our feeders ready. :)<br /><br />Enjoy a great evening,<br />BethBeth at Auntieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878533662208781834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-88882016001618601472009-04-20T15:33:00.000-05:002009-04-20T15:33:00.000-05:00No hummers around here yet!

Since 2005 and Hurricane Rita, the numbers of them have been much less. This year I have yet to see any and based on passed years the birds should already be appearing here. I hope they will appear soon!<br /><br />In my opinion, there is no need to buy the ready made nectar solution from the store. Making your own is so simple and cheap to do. Also, red dye should not be added to the nectar and by making it yourself you can make sure it doesn't have any in the nectar solution. The debate on red dye is still ongoing, but many experts believe it to be harmful to the hummingbirds. Besides, it isn't needed in order to attract the hummingbirds, because most of the feeders available for purchase on the market today already have some red on them and this will help attract the hummingbirds.<br /><br />If you would like much more information about hummingbirds, please click the links below.

Sometimes all the males are feeding together. What a punch of color when they are all together. The females seem to be a bit bolder when feeding probably because they are not as brightly colored making them less of a target. I wish you could have them for a pet like other birds. What a joy they would be to look at all the time. I did a post about hummers and the pictures are amazing especially the last one. If you have a moment please stop over and check them out. You will have to go back into my Feb. posts. If you love hummers you will love these pictures. (I didn't take the pictures, they were from an email that were sent to me by a friend) Thank you for sharing these pictures. By the way, I love the hook you have your feeder on. May I ask where you bought it. It is gorgeous! Have a great day. Hugs, LorettaLorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043798596681607776noreply@blogger.com
