Okay, they told me to trill at you. It's pretty hummingbird loud out
there about now. Thankfully, everything is still in full bloom so they have plenty of stuff to eat. I believe the hummers who migrate through here are from north of us, the guys you have fly down through Louisianna and across the Gulf to Cozumel. They get a tan, then do it all again. veet On Wed, 12 Oct 2005 08:15:05 -0400, "madgardener" wrote: booger! say hi to my little family of Rufus who summer in Dandridge, will ya? maddie "Bourne Identity" wrote in message .. .

About a 4 to 1 ratio? Should you put red die in it? Is it ok to put it in the sun? Richard boil the water.....use two cups of fine white sugar to 4 cups of water, no food coloring necessairy. the hummer's will know what it is. yes, you can put it in the sun, but if it's hot, you have to make sure it doesn't turn or ferment. the hummer's get drunk and it's not good for them. (no, they don't pick fights and try to drive home......g) if it is hot, the sugar water will turn, so I'd just put half of the mixture in the feeder and the rest in a container in the fridge until you're ready to change it again. madgardener whose hummers seem to have gone to Mexico.............. Nah, they're all here in Texas! I saw a bunch today at my feeder as they are migrating through right now. I see species I don't ordinarily see here. |
