Today, I laughingly reminded Wing that someone accused me of setting up a nectar feeder just for photo op.
Really? 5 years on, and several more feeders put up is a helluva long time for a single photo op, yes?
I first set one up, with bird molting vitamins, to help an injured Red Wattlebird. It has long since recovered, even raising a few broods, although it took about a year of it pretty much staying in our front yard garden.
I was going to just take it down, and that's that. But then we had a neighbor chop down all the native nectar bearing shrubs and trees. The reason: the birds made too much noise. 7 feeders in the front yard, 2 in the back, and the birds are welcome to make as much noise in my yard as they want.
