Don’t let it go. Try it at your location and maybe you can say it worked 
instead of I’ll let it go.

When you keep your feeder clean and change the nectar regularly there shouldn’t 
be a problem.

I've been reading a lot recently about sick Hummingbirds -- mostly from 
drinking foul water from feeders.  So I've been wondering if it would help -- 
or not -- to put a teaspoon of CS in the feeder.  ???  Or more?  Or less?  Or 
offer a separate feeder of CS?



Any thoughts?

Morning,
In searching through the Internet, many people swear by collidial silver for 
hummingbirds.  If you make your own with water and sugar, they add 5 drops to 
the cooled mixture before they feed them. They swear they have more birds and 
the feeder stays cleaner and the birds stay healthier.

begins to grow.
