|
I can't figure those hummingbirds out. I refilled the feeders and hung them out last evening. They don't eat from them at night so they were still mostly full this morning. But, they are all trying to eat out of one and ignoring the other one. So, one is empty and the other is still full but they aren't eating out of the full one. They are still buzzing around the empty one. I mixed the stuff in one large container so they are both the same. They ate out of both of they yesterday. Maybe in the morning I will take down the empty one and move the full one into its spot and see if they eat out of it then. Weird. It rained today and most of the flowers were closed up so they should have emptied both feeders and they didn't. I give up!

 They've certainly managed to train you well, Dooley.

Very strange indeed Dooley.  I know that my birds will only eat from their feeders if they're put in exactly the same place each day.

Did you rinse out the feeder?
Maybe there is some residual yucky stuff built up on it that has soured
