Video clips of what I believe to be, a rare, White leucistic, Ruby Throated, Hummingbird feeding from my feeders in late August 2009.

We started feeding our birds a couple of weeks ago to show my Mom from Germany the birds here in Illinois…. The local raccoons sure appreciate the gesture and visit the feeder every night. In this short clip you can see 5 (FIVE!!!) young’uns fighting for yummies, the Mom was at the bottom of the feeder keeping watch…

I hank my bird feeder off the fasha of my house but I have a privacy fence the animals crawl onto and eat all my bird feed. I have no were else to put the feeder any ideas?

My father loves feeding birds and has several bird feeders. We seem to attract enough of all types of birds, but the larger birds (Blue Jays & Cardinals) have a tough time feeding as compared to finches and other smaller ones. We provide a wide-variety mix of bird feed and black oil sunflowers.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A Friend pf mine e mailed this to me .He used it to explain how Democrats do more harm then good to his kid!>>I bought a bird feeder. I hung

it on my back porch and filled

it with seed. What a beauty of

a bird feeder it is, as I filled it

lovingly with seed. Within a

week we had hundreds of birds

taking advantage of the

continuous flow of free and

easily accessible food.

But then the birds started

building nests in the boards

of the patio, above the table,

and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was

everywhere: on the patio tile,

the chairs, the table ..

everywhere!

Then some of the birds

turned mean. They would

dive bomb me and try to

peck me even though I had

fed them out of my own

pocket.

And others birds were

boisterous and loud. They

sat on the feeder and

squawked and screamed at

all hours of the day and night

and demanded that I fill it

when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn’t even

sit on my own back porch

anymore. So I took down the

bird feeder and in three days

the birds were gone. I cleaned

up their mess and took down

the many nests they had built

all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like

it used to be…. quiet, serene

and no one demanding their

rights to a free meal.

Now let’s see.

Our government gives out

free food, subsidized housing,

free medical care, and free

education and allows anyone

born here to be an automatic

citizen.

Then the illegals came by the

tens of thousands. Suddenly

our taxes went up to pay for

free services; small apartments

are housing 5 families; you

have to wait 6 hours to be seen

by an emergency room doctor;

your child’s 2nd grade class is

behind other schools because

over half the class doesn’t speak

English.

Corn Flakes now come in a

bilingual box; I have to

‘press one’ to hear my bank

talk to me in English, and

people waving flags other

than ‘Old Glory’ are

squawking and screaming

in the streets, demanding

more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe

it’s time for the government

to take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on; if not,

continue cleaning up the poop!

Watching these birds feeding from a bird feeder outside my kitchen window certainly brightens my day!
