Not having a garage to play in has turned me outside for entertainment. Always been intrigued by the little hummingbirds and I see a few around here. Went out and purchased a feeder and within minutes had a couple birds feeding. Goes great for about 3 days and then I noticed they would come and hover by the feeder and then fly away. Closer observation showed hundreds of tiny ants in and around the feeder. So did a little research and found ants dont like water. Thought Id make a moat above the feeder where it hangs from the tree. Took a spray bomb cap and an end from my hockey stick and hooked it up. Result has been great as they are back feeding and a half dozen ants are circling around the top hook. Thing that amazes me is how these hummingbirds and these ants can find this feeder hanging 7 in a tree. Mind boggling to me. I now have a pet that I dont have to take for a walk like my friends do.
