Thanks everyone. I have four feeders right now, but sometimes I do six. I have trouble keeping them filled sometimes. Today we went to the market and bought 30 lbs. of sugar for our little friends. I'm sure they will go through about 20 lbs. before they leave for the winter.

We have lots of birds around here. Some good and some that I'd rather they go to someone else's feeder, but variety is the spice of life. I feed them all. My particular favorites other than hummers are the Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, and the Baltimore Oriole. I fed tons of safflower seed and grape jelly to those guys this year. Finally quit feeding last week. They need to learn to find their own food before winter or migration.

My husband likes birds too....check out his puzzle in the picture.

Hi Dave,

I'm getting tired of brugmansia now. They are either too much work or I'm just getting too old to deal with so many of them. I plan on cutting back to about six or eight.
