Yeah…we were shocked by the birds’ eating habits, too. But then we discovered “the squirrel”. The squirrel who knocks all the food out of the feeder with his hands, then runs to the ground and scoops it all into his chubby cheeks. Thief! No wonder the feeder was empty every day.

I used to have the same worries about hummingbirds as you did. I’m lucky though, the cubicle next to mine houses a bird nerd. (He’s been published and everything.) He assured me that one day, I’d wake up and the birds would be gone. Don’t forget to take your feeder down and wash it out before winter though. I left mine out (scatterbrain!) and by spring the stuff inside had gone bad. No amount of washing would clean it so they would visit again. I had to get a new one!

We put up a bird feeder, and I was worried birds wouldn’t come. It took a few days, and then we were feeding all the birds in Texas, I swear to god, and some squirrels too.

I can’t keep up that kind of bird feed budget either.

I love that Moosh has a shrill warning system. lol

my neighbours put up a birdfeeder and the birds seem to love it… meaning there is bird crap everywhere and my kids find at least one dead bird a week in our yard. don’t be sad about not feeding the birds…. your neighbours will thank you.

I voted for you.

Also according to wikipedia.com (the referance for all thing – unless you are writing an academic or professional paper.) “Most hummingbirds of the U.S. and Canada migrate south in fall to spend the northern winter in Mexico or Central America. A few southern South American species also move to the tropics in the southern winter. A few species are year-round residents in the warmer coastal and interior desert regions. Among these is Anna’s Hummingbird, a common resident from southern California inland to southern Arizona and north to southwestern British Columbia.”

My husband keeps wanting to buy me a pet so I’m not home alone all day. A goldfish. A hermit crab. A hedgehog. Anything. But I don’t want to be responsible for another ANYTHING’s life. If I was that desperate for company, I’d try and have a baby.

So don’t worry about killing things. I would, too.

I clicked for ya. No big deal!

Any kind of animal feeding is not for me. Nope. But don’t worry about the birds you were feeding. God will take care of them. They’re HIS animals!!

We get them year-round here, and sometimes I get itty-bitty babies in the little tree outside my kitchen window. My kids are tired of me telling them to come look too. Hey, entertainment is where you find it. threeundertwos last blog post..It looked like a box of junk to me.
