Hi everybody,
We have had our feeder for a couple of years now. Hummingbirds visit us a year round; there seem to be a couple of "regulars."
We are going to move in a couple of months. I am a bit afraid that "our" hummingbirds became dependent on the feeder and might get in trouble when it disappears.
Sooo... is there a good way to wean birds off a feeder? I was thinking of giving them less and less sugar until they start looking for flowers on their own. Would this work? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Bart
