A while back I had to set up a scarecrow (briefly seen
at the end of this video) to keep the birds from roosting
in the tree at night and leaving their big, black splat
behind on my deck and patio table. Works perfectly.
What's really interesting is that it is almost directly under
my hummingbird feeder, yet they couldn't give a fig
about it, and still feed. (I'm not askeered of your stupid ol'
scarecrow!) They are amazing. They KNOW what they
can do flight-wise I guess.

Last place we lived hummingbirds would nest in our trees. One time there was tiny baby bird and I wanted to get a real close up picture but mama bird would have nothing of it. She couldn't do much but buzz (humm) me.
In fear for my life I left the little one alone.

What happened to Kamala Harris' campaign?
She had the black vote all locked up.

I think it's because your scarecrow just looks drunk, not scary.:wah:

Well, if that's the case, then how does the drunk scare off the much bigger birds? (Not
sure what kind they are, but judging from the splat, they're robins or starlings or
crows or something)
Hmm, now that I think of it, the hummers have seen me out there with a glass or two
of champagne from time to time...

Hummers don't seem to be bothered by people close to the feeders.
Our feeder is within four or five feet of out patio furniture, and they are never fazed by us sitting there.
We have even had a couple of them fly right up to us for a closer look.
When the grandkids are out with us, however, the hummers keep a much safer distance.

Was it me or was that a really big Humming bird?

I'm pretty sure that was a mosquito.

A hummer lit on my daughter's arm once but wouldn't hang around long enough for me to get my camera.

The hummingbirds here get right in my face and give me a good lecture when their feeder needs refilling.
