This is our newest hummer feeder.

I recycled an empty gin bottle and gave it to the hummers. The "flower" is a piece of copper water pipe that I heated with a torch and pounded into a thin flat sheet. Then I rolled it to look something like a flower and attached it to a piece of copper tubing. I bought a rubber stopper and drilled a hole in it for the copper tubing. Then I took a length of copper wire and wrapped it around the bottle to create a harness that I could use to attach a hook to for hanging it. A little paint on the flower and wah lah...my hummer feeder.

The hummers are lovin' it!

edited because I have no idea what cooper tubing is...it should be copper tubing.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘...Holy Crap ...What a ride!'
