When our hummingbird feeder hit the dirt (literally, the rope broke) and broke into pieces, I looked at all the local stores only to find cheaply made plastic ones that looked like they wouldn't last one season, which is probably part of the big picture for the seller.
I really liked the one that broke, in fact I had two of them, one on each side of the house. So I looked on the bottom for the manufacturer and found them online, thinking I could just order the glass. Found the glass for about $9 or the entire feeder for $27 plus shipping. I don't think so.
Then I remembered my favorite shopping place - Amazon. They have everything!
Sure enough, there it was and only $12.82 with free shipping. I love Amazon!
Now the new feeder is up and running, just in time for this past holiday weekend. I don't know why, but we have more birds on the weekends and even more than usual this past weekend.
I guess it is like the rest of the tourists - everyone comes to the mountains on weekends and holidays. Hmm, maybe if we stopped feeding them they would stop coming, the tourists I mean... oops did I say that out loud?
