Hummingbird Feeder. Within a day and a half, I ended up with a male and a female. I got the cheesy plastic one from Wal-Farts and the Hummers went to it with no problem and have been for a month or so now. I put up a glass one, little more fancy and hung it when the plastic one was just about out. Well, they don't even acknowledge the glass one, even when the plastic one was empty.
They don't hit the feeder at the same time, or one dive bombs the other. The male is usually the aggressor. They seem to be getting used to my presence in the open window taking shots of them. When I'm in the window, they face me most of the time and feed, then look at me and feed again. They repeat that the entire time they are at the feeder. They sit on the perch when they are totally feeling safe with their surroundings, if not, they hover. If they see me in the window, they will slowly come up to the feeder, again, always looking at me. Pretty funny.
These suckers are quick. That makes it a little difficult, not impossible. These are the first attempts, I'm sure they'll get more used to me as the Summer moves on :haha:
