@c0debabe So last week, I heard a story from an acquaintance who moved from PA to AZ and thought you might enjoy it because birbs!

They hung out a hummingbird feeder when they first got there, but took it down as it got colder (AZ cold, not PA cold).

Then one day she found a hummingbird looking in her kitchen window, when she came to the window it flew to where the feeder was like "what gives, lady???" so she put it back out... 1/2

@c0debabe 2/2 then the next day the bird was back at the window and it flew over again and flew back and forth, so she went out to check and the feeder had frozen. So she brought it in, warmed it up, put it back out, now the same couple birds come every day.

And I loved this extremely successful cross-species communication (and as someone who had parakeets for a decade+, it all checks out to me).

@platypus @c0debabe I tape handwarmer packs on to my feeders to keep them from freezing
