It is about 8' from our kitchen table and they could care less -- except to stare at me when the damn thing is empty. Oh, the guilt! 1B

Where we used to live before Charley we had Cardinals and Red Wing Blackbirds, I do miss their songs. George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you! Old cat turd!

Mostly green but their back's have an iridescent copper hue. I have one feeder on the deck and one over in my little rose garden. The feeder by the roses is definitely their favorite. It gets refilled twice a day but I can get by with once a day on the other one. I'm probably feeding two or three dozen. I like having them around but there's so many this year it's starting to get kinda creepy. THE LITTLE DEMANDING LITTLE BASTARDs ARE EVERYWHERE!

Mink Campfire Tracker Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 5,328 Magnolia State	Originally Posted by FieldGrade I cleaned and filled one of my Hummingbird feeders a little while ago and when I went out to hang it back up there were several of the little retards buzzing around where the feeder normally hangs trying to figure out where it went. Well just before I got there one of em spotted the feeder, buzzed over, and plopped down for a drink. Naturally I thought that was pretty cool so I stopped to get a good look at the little twirp and before you could say Jack Robinson a half dozen more of em had piled on leaving me standing there holding the dam thing for them like a frikin lawn jockey. This is by far the biggest crop of Bubble birds I've had since I moved here ten years ago. I'm starting to suspect the pushy little free loaders migrated up from Mexico. Definitely Democrats.....

Our indoor cats will chatter and tail twitch like crazy watching them, but inside they will stay! Goober the birdbrain dog will get pretty wired up about them, too. Family fun! Loved the photos put up so far. Very cool. LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.

I think I'd like to hang a feeder close to the lawn. Hopefully my resident rabbits would wander over and be speared by the hummers. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."
