Your so lucky! I keep trying to attract Hummingbirds to the yard. This year I will have another area totally away from the other feeders. I hope to get some or one! It's frustrating changing that sugar water for no visitors. I only saw one once at the feeder. That Hummer was just passing through.

Do you make your own sugar water or buy the premix type? Just curious, as it can make a difference.

I make my own sugar water. Possibly, I put it too close to the other feeders. Even though I read those little birds aren't intimidated easily, I think this year I'm going to move it to the other side of the house.

I always wonder if putting in shade is better. I had the feeder in morning sun and afternoon part shade. The side of the house I'm considering has afternoon sun. Can that sugar water get too hot?
Thanks
