As previously reported ( Rundbrief 09/2005 We once rented a little house in the countryside, and the owners there had a hummingbird feeder. It's a glass container that you fill with red sugar water, and the hummingbirds zoom over to it and sip the liquid from the openings.
I thought to myself that I could buy something like that for our balcony, so I went to "Target," a large supermarket chain. At first, I wandered aimlessly through the endless aisles, only to unexpectedly come across an entire shelf (!) of hummingbird supplies. I purchased a feeder and a large pack of the red sugary stuff, filled the glass container at home, and hung the whole thing on the balcony.
For weeks, nothing happened, but all of a sudden, we started receiving regular visits. I can hardly keep up with refilling, as the little devils eagerly devour my treats. Top product!
