Deann, thats a wonderful set up you have there :) I bought a home made oriole feeder a gal made for me :) Trouble is the darn plastic cups are so small, and are on small pegs, that when we get a little wind, off they go into the wild blue ?? Never to be seen again, I did replace them with the bottoms of pop btls., and this time I just glued them down, LOL
Hi Gloria, I found a robins nest a few yrs. ago in the wishing well at the midland house! This year I walked over to see if there were any eggs? Sure enuff, 3 quite large ones, all cold. The next norning I saw the robin fly off and I ran out to check on the eggs, there were 4 of them, all nice and warm :) Geesh, I am so far behind, I never even thought of looking for the little hummers? I will have to make some sugar water for them, as were going to stay at the midland house all summer :) I can't wait to put up the feeders and see them! I have been going there about once a week, and have kept on filling the feeders with the grape jelly. By the way, what are tree rats??
