Super high sugar/water ratio.

We have been feeding at least ten hummers all winter, trying to rotate 5 feeders every hour because of freezing temps. Just 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water, bring to a boil let cool and you have visiters every day

Isn't it illegal to feed wildlife?

Some will abandoned nests/eggs to guard a high sugar feeder. Do some research.
The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

We get three species at our place in North van, Rofus, b
Black Chin & Anna's.the anna's stay through the winter. Make your nectar sweet, they love it an it won't freeze.

We have been feeding Anna's all winter as well. Someone mentioned being dive bombed by them. I believe that behaviour is from males only and they are trying to impress the female that you don't even know is around. It is not an attack by vicious birds .
