sugar consumption

When I moved from wooded property in the country to an apartment in our small city, I was surprised at how prevalent the wild life is here. Yes, more birds than ever this summer, including the humming birds, who sip from both the feeder and some of my flowers. The males always look as though they're dressed up to go somewhere fancy in their little green "tuxedos," lol. Karen

I can't feed birds.There is no scope.I live in a garden of stones.Building after building.Except few parks there is no tree.We can only see crows and sparrows.

I have fed birds here for around 8 years and there seem to be more this year than ever before. The feeder is emptied every day and it's never been like that before. Sometimes they seem frantic to get to the food. I wonder if they're preparing for a hard winter?

I have a bird feeder outside the window. Some cardinals have nested in the shrubery there and so they feed and live around close. It's fun to watch them. I've watched their babies grow up this season!
