I love bats. At our house, the insects, for whatever reason, hover near the hot tub, so while you're soaking away in the hot tub, the bats are swooping around, scooping up moths and such. So neat. If we'd stayed we were planning on doing houses as a family project, just to entice more to the yard, but, alas, off to the city we go. LOL.
Sorry I missed your post karrie. I've been running around all evening. Btw we have two old feeders that will adapt to a mason canning jar. When we lived on Gabriola Island we had literally dozens of hummingbirds come to eat/drink When we filled the feeders and were hanging them up again the greedy little sods would be trying to feed before we got them hung.
No worries with missing it juan.
I think hermann ended up going with the one I felt he should have gotten anyway. lol.
I've seen a few different 'adapter' style feeders, from ones that screw onto pop bottles, to rubber cork ones that fit into a variety of containers, looking especially nice with wine bottles.
i'm also going to get some glassware from the lab tomorrow to conceal in the origami flowers to make my own feeders.
I like that one! I bet you can get a bit of copper tubing to coil around your tubes and that will look just like the other
I'd bet they'd work Herm, if you can secure them soundly. When the birds come you will notice they sound like giant bees as their little wings are literaly buzzing. Well ok humming but I've been startled when one has come up from behind

I've rested them on the very edge of my balcony floor so it's like they were on the top of a wall or something. Not much else i can do except maybe tape them to the window...
Got any greeen plasticized coat hangers? You could make some pretty authentic looking plants from green coathangers, some green paper for leaves, etc and the coat hangers would stick into some expanded foam bases.
judging by the feeders for sale it doesnt have to look much like a plant, just be bright and circular around the feeding holes
I know that, but the few times I watch tv a week, I do stuff while I'm watching. Besides, you could look as if you have a garden on your balcony.
