RE: Story for the birds
That worked for me, too, Dayrl. Our garage ceiling is 14' high. I couldn't
begin to chase down a hummer in the garage, even with a skimmer. Now we
have all the humming bird inviting plants moved away from the garage door.
Now I don't have to worry about finding a low place to hang a feeder as they
usually steer clear of the garage since there is no food source close to it
now.
Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

Cathy,
A trick with the hummingbirds is to put a bright red hummingbird feeder in
there, right next to the door. They investigate, and find their way out. I
had despaired of getting them out of the greenhouse until I learned that
trick.
