I use a concentrate that has natural red coloring in it that doesn't hurt them. They seem to really like it.

Yeah, I just remember reading a long time ago the red was just to make it more attractive to the hummingbirds ... that it made luring them easier.

When I switched from what I bought at the store, which had red coloring, to plain sugar (and, yeah, of course I couldn't get regular sugar, I had to get fancy, schmancy, organic turbinado sugar ... cause I've lived in California for too fuckin' long!), the number of hummingbirds at the feeder did decrease for a little while, but it seemed like there were as many or more than ever.

Back during the summer, I was using a sugar/water mix (I used bakers sugar because it's really fine and dissolves better) because the place I get the kind with natural red coloring was out for awhile. I didn't really notice much drop off in the number of hummingbirds. Mine has been in the same place long enough that they all know it. I think they also like that I have a BB gun and shoot the big birds that try to get their food.

I mostly like the red because I have my hummingbird feeder set up where I can see it from my recliner and it's easier to tell when it's getting low. lol

Could you imagine, though ... being one of those women who gets knocked up or marries, or even dates, a certain guy really only for their money???

OMG ... I think that sentence encapsulates you pretty perfectly.

I can pick off a big bird with my BB gun without getting out of my recliner.

Although, I had to switch from plastic feeders because I missed one time and shot a hole in the feeder. lol
 
I've conditioned myself to automatically subtract an hour from my whatdoyoucallit clocks (not the digital ones) since the last time change, now I'm going to be late for everything until I get used to the fact that they are right again :L

Plus, it doesn't injure them, just lets them know to fly their ass across the yard where I have bird bath and seed for them.

So gross. I've had old dudes offer rent and car payments in the past and I honestly would not be able to look at myself in the mirror. I even feel icky when my girlfriends are like, "Buy a round for me and my friends!". Yuck.
