Haha! Don't think so, but I've heard some people sometimes put extra sugar in the nectar recipe, on the theory that it can help a little to prevent the nectar freezing. BTW, have you ever hear of drunk birds? Some of the fruit eating birds (like Cedar Waxwings) have been known to eat fermented fruits and act drunken...of course, some of the birds don't survive in those cases. The rule, would be "don't eat fermented fruit and fly".
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
