This Damn 1/4 Oz Bird Cost Me $13.00 W/Qview

I guess we threw out our Humming Bird feeders after last season.

Well, this little guy was coming to the patio door everyday looking for food I guess. I could have ignored him but I was affraid he would get in the house, that happened one year and I had to use a fish net to catch him. We have 20' ceilings and luckily I caught him in the loft where the ceilings are 8'.

Anyway, between the white sugar that we don't use anymore, I tried brown and it didn't work, and the feeder it was over $13.50.

Oh well, enjoy the pic on me.

Funny! I had to use the fish net a couple years ago to get a "house finch".

They are like little reddish sparrows, with a GREAT song and she was sittin on our wreath on the front door by the red ribbon! Opened the door and all h ell broke loose.

Kids were screaming, wife was freaking. :) Stuff happens.

I use a salmon net on my mother-in-law when she tries to get in the house...

That's how I felt. You don't want to hurt the poor things.

Now that's funny Rich, I wish I knew that trick years ago with my ex mother in law.
