Unbelieveable colors. I heard someone say the heat makes syrup for hummingbirds lethal if they drink it! Had you heard this???
Dennis Jones -... replied
The solution spoils in driest heat. Mold forms. We keep these feeders on the North East corner of the house, plus we change it every week or so. We keep an eye on keeping them clean…
