Because of the alcohol in the water? Do they prefer a good bourbon, or a single malt scotch?
My buddy in Vegas is getting them at his feeder under his back porch.
We had to seperate our feeders because of the bullies. Even with 20' between them the bully bird tries to protect both, but while he's fighting with one, the others hit the one he left. Pretty comical.
Divide em with a large piece of glass if you really want some comedy.
We all know whiskey warms you up when its cold.Because of the alcohol in the water? Do they prefer a good bourbon, or a single malt scotch?
I thought it made one more susceptible to the cold. Where's tRidiot on this one?
Cohiba is another expert!
We used to keep a feeder out (back when sweetie could refill it), and I put a coat-hanger wire perch on a T-post at the edge of the patio for them.
One year, we had a bumper crop and a "bully" that commandeered the perch and the feeder. Lol, well, he tried to anyway.
There were just too many other birds. He would literally wear himself out flying from the perch to the feeder and back to fend off rivals. I've never seen a hummingbird fly so slowly.
Good thing a neighborhood cat didn't show up, the poor guy would have never had a chance.

We saw our first one today. East of Broken Arrow.
The wife put a feeder out on the front porch and we have 3 feeding out of it. They are at it several times a day.
