I generally feed my hummingbirds a mixture of four parts water and one part sugar.

I have replaced the sugar with breakfast sausage.

The hummingbirds report that they have lost two feather sizes the first week and have more energy in the early afternoon.

My wife just put the hummingbird feeder up on Wednesday and left to visit her aunt for the weekend on Thursday.

Thursday afternoon I was looking out the window and saw two female small cardinals dipping their beaks and sitting on the ledge, pretty as you please.

They've been back three times now; never saw such a thing.
