Hummer News – Vol. 7 – March 2010

After several warm sunny days this week and setting our clocks ahead this weekend, I can finally really begin to think about my hummers returning within the next four to six weeks. I can hardly wait. I hope they will be early this year as it has seemed a long and cold winter, even though the most of the crazy east coast snow was deposited just about everywhere else but here – just fine by me.

Time to prepare all your feeders and nectar tubes

If you haven’t already done so, now would be a very good time to clean all bird feeders, not only your hummer feeders with a mild, 10% bleach solution and a good rinse before the season begins. For you year round folks, spring would always be a good time to do a thorough clean-up, as well as several other times each year. Anytime that any black residue is building up on any nectar feeder or part, it is essential for the health of your visitors to give everything a good scrubbing.

MerrComm Product Feedback Welcomed and Strongly Encouraged

I am especially interested to hear any feedback from recent customers who have purchased a Roseburg™ 4-tube feeder, a Hummer Stik™ hand held feeder, a Nectar Tube cleaning brush set or Nectar storage and dispensing bottle. I want all of these products to be the best I can make them and your feedback is a very important component to in helping me accomplish that.
