Ingrate......
So here at my McDonald's like Hummingbird Ranch this guy refuses my sugar water and goes after the real stuff from one of our Aloe plants.
I'm cooking up 2 gallons of sugar water per day ( 4 to 1 ratio ) for my 16 different feeders got hanging around the house --- they consume their body weight in food per day or some 6 oz of nectar. I've seen calculations where one gallon feeds 750 birds per day so some 1,500 birds visit daily......yes it gets busy at the feeders especially dawn and dusk.....
Well I call Bullshit !!! see Social Distance image for much better info --- closer to 600 per day are fed.......
