I bought another hummingbird feeder for 75 cents in a thrift shop in Brandon. I tried it out today as the old feeder was just about dry. Humming birds are visiting constantly these days virtually all the time. They are very hostile to each other. Hardly ever is there more than one at a time at the feeder even though there are four plastic petals to feed from. The new feeder seems to work fine. The nectar container in the old one has a slight crack that I simply sealed with duct tape. It works fine but I thought it would be good to have a spare of the same kind. However, I find that the liquid container part is not internchangeable!
There are still lots of visitors to the regular feeder including chickadees (photo). THe other regulars are pine siskins, house sparrows, and goldinches.
