When my brother built a new home and moved in I gave him a few tiny feeders I'd made. He had no landscaping what-so-ever and there was nothing growing in his three acre plot that would provide food for them. It was a new developement and even the neighbor's didn't have much in the way of blooming plants.

He put them up and withing half an hour he said a hummie showed up. About ten minutes after that he had a good two dozen fighting for the feeders!! Must say I was quite shocked since they were tiny feeders but I guess those hummies can spot a splash of red or yellow from far away :o)

This is a sample of the tiny feeders I gave him. Barely two inches in length...and holds only 12ml of nectar! Amazing little birds!!!
