18. Hummingbird Feeder

We have three of the Hummingbird feeders out for the Hummingbirds. A male bird guards each one and chases off any other males. The females he welcomes to eat as long as he gets a little loving. The juice is sugar and water with some red food coloring. Four parts water to one part sugar. Some debate the red color. I find the Hummingbirds will investigate anything red.
