The hummingbirds seem to be boycotting my feeder this winter. They take a quick taste once in a while and then fly away. Only in December, during the bitterly cold weather, did they hang around and feed at length.
I am wondering if anyone has a thought about why this might be? It is a sort of fancy glass feeder--might that be the problem? They have always preferred the flowers in the summer, but last winter they used this feeder a lot. I clean it once a week, by the way.
Thank you, tweets!
