One of the great joys of our new home are the hummingbirds. We had an excellent spot just outside the kitchen table lakeside bay window for a feeder. After dealing with the raccoons who kept messing with it, we finally figured out a system that worked.
What many humming bird feeders have seen is that the hummers seem more interested in fighting than in feeding. Just as I am writing this, by the bay window, a hummer comes up to feed, but before he can get his long bill into the feeder, another comes by and runs him off.
Hummer friends, please recognize that THERE IS PLENTY OF NECTAR FOR ALL!!
Yes, Brenda refills the feeder when it nears empty. If they drank a cup a day, the next day there would be more.
I think there is a key lesson herein for humans. We get so greedy that we fight, even when there is an abundance. We could BETTER enjoy what we have, if we weren't so worried about what someone else has!
I'm gonna think about it. What can hummers teach us?
