They go through 8 oz of sugar water EVERY DAY!!!! I have two feeders. One hanger, and the other is a window feeder. The hanging on goes slowly, the window feeder??? There are 4 hummers fighting over this feeder all day long. Sometimes 2 & 3 will sit on it and drink, not very often, but they do. I love these birds.

(64,645 posts)Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal visit together at our bushes. Then they fly off. Fat Robin flies in for a visit; he's so fat I wonder how he gets aloft.
We have a sweet hummingbird who visits on May 1 or 2, not any other time. We missed him/her this year as we were in Europe.

(31,582 posts)Guzzler can drink for minutes, Bobber, drinks up and down, up and down, and Gazer drinks a little, then will look all around for a while before it drinks again. It seems as though ive had these three for a couple of years. I dont know the 4th ones name it just comes when the others are drinking and they scare it off, so I havent seen him drink really yet. Love them all.

(23,741 posts)they were drinking their morning coffee. It was so nice to watch them, I could watch them all day. They have videos out on YouTube where you can watch them, but of course, I'd prefer the real thing.

(25,166 posts)Hummingbirds. I have for over 40 years. I used to use a window feeder. One spring I was late putting the feeder up and a hummer came to that window and ran into it. I live in northern Ohio so they are migrating. They remember where they were fed the previous year. I love my hummers too.

They are cheeky little devils and give you what for when you're trying to swap them out! We only get Ruby Throats here.
