I should have named them both Leon because they’re getting larger!
Shown here are 42kg of Leon watching me mow the greater driveway region.
If you build it, they will come. More each year. We’re currently running a pair of 250mL feeders, and literally can’t keep up. Your post reminded me to go boil more water, so thanks for that.
Good boys!
I have this small feeder. They usually drink till the last drop of nectar. The other day I ran out of refined sugar. As I had some brown sugar, I decided to serve the beverage to the birds. I think they are a little picky, because they left the feeder half empty. I am affraid they didn´t like neither the taste , nor the color of the drink. Only the bananaquits drank the brown sugary water that looked like Coca-Cola.
I hope they give me a good review on Trip Advisor and bring back the regular costumers.
Apparently we’re only supposed to use plain white granulated sugar for hummingbird nectar. Brown, confectioner’s, turbinado, etc. are all advised against. So your birds were probably just trying to set a good example for the others.
I´ve replenished the pantry. Soon they will come back.
There will be a scout or two (perhaps one from each family?) checking intermittently until you refill it. Then they’ll update your Yelp review and suddenly everyone will be back a couple hours later.
They’ll more likely just tweet about it.

Living dangerously.
I has a sad…
Can I cry with you?
YIKES:
The second account of a human walking on water…or running more like.
I have no idea what the actual context of this footage is: I just know it’s too close for my comfort.
