Linda, I make them work for it! If they want an easy meal, they can fly up to see my grandma in WV. She always has feeders out. Well, not always. Just when it's warm. I was there last September and I'd never visited that late in the year before. I was at a genealogy conference in Louisa, KY and then we went over to WV to see Grandma. I was watching the local news with her one day and the weatherman was telling everyone it was time to bring in their hummingbird feeders to encourage them to move south. I thought it was pretty neat that the weatherman was up on things like that. I found it very responsible.
