BIRDS HEADING SOUTH: This Canadian Cold Front is the start of bird migration for us in the Midwest! Over 11 MILLION birds are expected to be in flight over Illinois tonight on their annual winter trip south! They are taking advantage of the cold front surging south and riding along/behind it with the north/northwest breeze.

Birdwatchers take note, you might see some new birds you haven't seen in a little while this weekend!

So very true.
I have a w**d in the yard called Burw**d. I can tell you from experience, that w**d is a miserable w**d if stepped on. (Google it). Even with it as bad as it is, I won't spray. I just dig them up when I spot them. They're pretty easy to find. Lol.
I have so many birds that feed in my yard, there's no I could possibly jeopardize their lives. :)

If you share nothing from this page, please let this be the post you share. We have to all work together to at least try to get this garbage banned, someway, somehow. These companies know it's bad for these tiny birds, but continue to manufacture and sell it for 1 simple reason... PROFIT! 💲

Dyes/food coloring is petroleum based 🤮 and unnecessary for hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds cannot metabolize the dyes 💀 and that leads to kidney damage, failure and a slow, painful death. 😱😭
All these tiny jewels need is 4 parts water to 1 part pure cane sugar. Boiling is unnecessary and not a requirement. Sugar dissolves in room temp, even cold water. If you do boil, boil/heat unmeasured water FIRST, for only 2-3 minutes, so to not concentrate the chemicals that cannot be boiled out. Then, after that 2-3 minutes, measure out your 4 parts water, THEN add your 1 part pure cane sugar.
Let cool before filling a clean feeder.
Also, do NOT just "top off" your feeders.

Help Save Our Hummingbirds HSOH ©️
