I'm still a little ticked about last week's fiasco. First, the birds broke ALL of the perching sticks off the hummingbird feeder, about 6 total. I thought, "Oh great, now at least the hummingbird will have the food all to him/herself." But no.....
A little trickery on their part, they managed to glue themselves on the side (don't ask me how) of the hummingbird feeder.
Two days ago I found the bottom of the feeder shattered all over the patio, with no hummingbird food of course.
Since this was getting out of hand I decided not to feed them bird seeds for two days, that'll show them-- bad idea. I had birds flying into the doors trying to get my attention all weekend.
The nerve of the hummingbirds to do this also...and I use to hold them in such high regards. I thought they weren't into petty dove shenanigans, but I guess they're not above bossing me too.
I thought, "No, I'll feed them when I'M good and ready!" I seriously underestimated them, for they have taken to eating inside the bird seed bag instead. Heifers....
