Neat idea!!!! I'm going to try that this summer! Thx!

I've watched the hummers here check spider webs for tidbits to ... ummmmm ... shall we say 'liberate'.......lol They are very efficient little hunters! I've also seen them harvest the webs for nesting material. That is the one reason I don't wipe done spider webs in the spring and early summer.

LOL! I know it's a bit early for y'all, but the discussion the other day about hummingbirds;

(whether to color their food...IMO don't)
(whether to use 'energized' commercial nectar...IMO, don't)

made remember to tell everyone they eat (eww) flys in fairly good quantities.

That is the one reason I don't wipe done spider webs in the spring and early summer.

Here, too! I also toss out trimmings from family haircuts.

It's so funny to watch the nesting birds 'shop' for material.
