Also the feeders need to be emptied and cleaned every couple of days.

Not really ,just keep them out of direct sunlight, that way they don't ferment .

I just did that yesterday. I'm still waiting for them.

I saw one briefly this afternoon. I forgot to look out the window first and startled it when when I went out on the porch.

Don't forget to only use 4:1 water to sugar

So why don't they get diabetes?

Still waiting for my first bird. (No, I was not going to say hummer...)

Ok, just saw my first hummingbird, and it was not on good terms. I hadn't seen any until now, was busy, got a bit lax on changing the nectar. Looked out the window, and there was a male staring back at me, buzzing back and forth, apparently annoyed, as tho to say, "You stupid idjit!! Change the damn nectar in the feeders!!" Mixed a new batch pronto, cleaned the feeder and refilled them.

Hope he comes back....

That's pretty normal, whenever our 3 feeders are stale there's a gang of them outside of the kitchen window giving us the stink eye.
