I hear them outside fighting over 4 freshly filled Feeders, flowers and a fountain.. Theres plenty for all but you have to admire their fierce survival instinct.

It does get very rowdy with the 4 later in the evening tho. But so jealous of your situation.

(31,282 posts)6. I know, I've been filling my feeders every 2 - 3 days......I do only fill them a little over the half mark,
it stays fresher, if I can call it that. If it stays in the sun to long it can mold
so I dont fill them real full only a tad over half. But ya, theyre drinking really fast.

Is drinking from the feeder, he just keeps fluttering while feeding, then finally decides he might as well sit on the perfect little perch. So cute.
