John can't stand hummingbirds, and has never told me why. Maybe they attacked him or scared him as a child? Who knows.
My cardinals seem to be less picky. They love to eat seeds off my patio and off the ground below the feeder. I can't put them on the patio for awhile, hmmmm unless, what if I put them in the shallow tray, and put them there, think they would eat them?
Then I could clean up the mess easier, and Health Dept wouldn't come complain.

Edit: Oh, and DeSitter, my absolute faves are the Black-Capped Chickadees. They are so cute and so fast!
