Im thinking of putting up a feeder to attract Hummingbirds.

You can attract them with red flowers, trumpet-shaped. I have a Mandevilla vine, they like hibiscus flowers. I can take care of it now that Im retired. Give it a try next spring.

I think flowers would be a better choice. Thanks.

Here in North Kansas. We have two feeders on the patio. I drink my New Orleans Coffee and read the paper in the morning watching them grabass and occasionally get some sustenance. Never get tired of the show.
