RE: Who’s Destroying The Hummingbird Feeder?

in Feathered Friends5 years ago

Great post on Hummers.. Have just started feeding them 4 the first time... A small bird gives me a big thrill... Did you solve the raccoon problem. Had to trap and release 3 last year that ruined my garden...

Sort:  

Thanks @manorvillemike and for the rehive. I bring the feeder in a night. He can get to it easily while the one at the front of the house is harder to get at -that post is covered in tin./aluminium.

The raccoon hasn’t bothered my little garden of a few tomatoes & peppers. I throw out a slice of bread or biscuit before I go to bed and it seems to satisfy him. He even had some left-over garlic bread the other evening.😆 He eats the treat and goes on to the rest of his route.

You have some nice looking Hummer feeders.

It’s hard to find a good one that doesn’t leak. I’ve had them from $2,00 that tended to leak and that will draw the ants.. My better feeder costed about $20 and suppose to be ant proof - so far so good.
