Well, we don't have humming birds here...but surely have sunbirds...
so i decided to make a sunbird feeder... the process is same as that of humming bird feeder :)
Melt the bottom of bottle and fit in the screw
Make 4 holes on the lid. It would be good to do this as the first step...
Fit in some flower petals. I took some left over ones
This is not a required step... i glued some dry twigs...
Though humming birds can remain in air and drink nectar;a sunbird might not be able to do that... So that's why the twigs...
This is the ready one......
3 days later.........
My feeder was full of ants and their watery grave was too much to bear...
So I googled...and came to know about Ant Moat :)
There's the raw material:
A cap/ lid which u can dill from between...
for me, i luckily got a scrap cap from our water purifier...
Attach the hook at the end of the cap....fill it with water and hang :)
Wait for the birds to discover and take a sip :)

Will sunbirds discover it directly or will it take days?
ReplyDeleteIf you place it near flowers the sun-birds drink from it won't tale long.
