Got some really great shots of them once I figured out to get them in focus in midflight. I bought a book to learn more about them. They are fascinating creatures. The numbers have tapered off because most of them were migrating. Dawn and dusk are the busiest feeding times.

Bought a couple of similar feeders (a bit smaller) from my local dollar (PLUS) store (Quebec) to try this - 1.75 CA$ each. Used some garden twist tie for the perches. Every time I tried to wrap the twist tie around the flower base it pulled the flower plug out. Had to permanently glue the flowers in place with a couple dabs of Gorilla glue, taking care not to occlude the feeding hole. I also glued the hanging cap to the bottle as it didn't take much to unscrew it. I let the glue fully cure of course.

I use the feeder from the Dollar Tree and make your recipe for the nectar. Even though I don't see any hummers I was putting fresh nectar out every day. I didn't fill the feeder obviously but did put enough to be able to tell if they were drinking any. I have it hanging on one side of a bird feeder stand and a small basket of safflower seeds for other birds on the other side. I even tried just hanging two hummer feeders on the stand and still no hummers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I also have different kinds of plants on the patio around the feeders. Thanks in advance.

@Lynette-qh3tw 5 ай бұрын

I bought one of the dollar tree feeders last year but it attracted wasps and bees. The bottom section is actually two parts. The flower part above and the bottom tray part. They snap toghether and creata a seam there. Well the seam is below the level of the nectar when full. The wasps hang onto the seam and drink as the nectar drips through there. Then the bees figure that out and do it to. The biggest problem is that the wasps are very aggressive and make it hard to get to the feeders to clean and refill. They also want to fight the hummingbirds too. After awhile i just filled a coffee cup with the sugar water for the wasps. But then there were 20 to 30 wasps and they would fly in, drink and then drown. The next day there was 30 to 40 wadps. I felt bad killing so many and I only had 1 hummingbird, so I gave up.

@bernardkung7306 5 ай бұрын

Different model. Some of the dollar store feeders are pretty awful, but the model Robbie showed actually works pretty well -- a lot better than some much more expensive feeders.. The only problems I have with them are 1) windy locations (these feeders don't have any partition to keep the the nectar well separate from the outer rim) and 2) the holes in the feeder ports are just a little too small -- the flowers (a.k.a. bee guards) definitely keep the bees and wasps out, but the hummingbirds don't seem to be all that comfortable with them, especially if there is any wind. I think this is a major part of why the hummers want a perch to feed from them -- the steady perch seems to make a fair bit of difference. Around here, at least, I've only see these feeders stay up and in use in quite sheltered locations. (Maybe Robbie has some perspective on this?)

@Katgirl2024 5 ай бұрын

You also have to make sure the bottom two parts are kinda of snapped together....if it gets off track from the little groves even a little bit, they will leak. If they are leaking or sealing at all, it's probably off track a bit.

I had the feeder hung from a tomato cage so the humming bird could land there and then fly to the feeder. I did not have any ants but every time I went to fill it up I found one or more dead earwigs inside. Kinda gross and it meant I had to clean it out every time I filled it.
