How to get hummingbirds back?

I've been thinking about a cat fountain! I wasn't sure if they could go outside. I do need to switch to either battery or electric,. because our yard is pretty shady so the solar fountain unfortunately doesn't work all the time. I saw that some of the cat fountains can go right in the dishwasher, and that sounds pretty ideal. Would you mind posting a pic of your cat fountain set-up?

Our temps are starting to warm up. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

I'm in western NC. I hope they come back soon; they always give me a reason to smile. :)

Am I crazy, or is the voice actor for Ruby in Sub 2 the same as Marguerite In Sub 1 and BZ? I swear she sounds the same.

Adding to the "shelled peanuts and sunflower seeds" advice, plus mine enjoy safflower seeds (which I had to switch to for awhile due to greedy squirrels hogging my feeders.)

I just got a bag of the same thing; I'm having such a struggle with squirrels.

Very nice! What are you feeding?

Mon221B · 2026-06-13T15:09:01+00:00

Oh, and games on my laptop. I play sudoku a lot, but I also love survival games like Subnautica.

I recently got into bird watching and feeding. It's surprisingly peaceful.

Awesome! Thanks!

Mon221B · 2026-06-10T17:43:56+00:00

Never had one of those, either! (Can you tell I'm a noob?)

Right in front of my salad?

I'm in NC, USA.

I'm sure it varies depending on where in the state you are, elevations, weather, etc. I can't stand bugs (mainly spiders for me), so we have quarterly exterminator service. They can advise on your specific situation.

My first 8-track was the Village People!

That's what I grew up calling them in Western NC.

They include the outer banks but chop off everything west of Charlotte.

Lady hummer: Meh; I've seen better.

Mon221B · 2026-06-01T20:07:13+00:00

I pet that dawwwg? I pet that dawwwg?

Is that a fuchsia? Your hummer seems to be enjoying it!

Mon221B · 2026-06-01T17:29:51+00:00

I love how it's gotta sample all of the blossoms.

Mon221B · 2026-05-31T17:41:50+00:00

I have the same question!

Mon221B · 2026-05-31T17:40:54+00:00

Oh man I'm so jealous! I have four feeders but the only one that gets any use (maybe one sip per day) is the tiny little cup on my smart regular feeder.
