Well, I went out and bought a taller pole to hold my feeder and moved it to a different location. Hopefully, in a few days, I will have visitors.

They also sang jingle bells all day long!!! Which would drive some people in our house crazy! Sorry to go on and on about them but I sure was crazy about my little guys.

Tal, will they sit on your shoulder? Try talking to them, they will probably answer you! They are funny enjoyable little characters try interacting with them!

Just about done bird sitting now. One of them does let me stroke her head. I am not comfortable enough around them to try letting them sit on my shoulder.

Interesting birds though. :agree:

When I lived in my villa it took months after I put out my feeder before the birds came to visit. Rats soon followed >:(
Now in my ranch I have seen no birds but problem may be I put up a finch feeder here instead of a regular feeder. No luck either place with hummingbirds.
