Hamm? This question is beyond any answer from me. You'll have to ask the
expert (Bob Sargent) I quoted. I have NO idea! I probably don't even
understand your question. It did seem that at times there was a lot of
feeder defending by certain individuals. At other times, at the two window
units where I could get a more accurate count,there would be 8 hummies on the
two 4-port feeders while 2 or 3 hovered just over them. Of course the
other 4 feeders were being used heavily also. You talk about a feeder
sustaining maybe 2 birds?? I don't know how many a feeder sustains, but I
remember filling one 8 oz. feeder in the am, filling it again after 4 hrs.,
again after 6 hrs., and it was maybe 1/3 full by "quittin time"!!
I enjoyed this so very much. In a poem my Mother wrote in her later years
she stated; "I FEEL I NEED A RESPONSE FROM EVERY LIVING THING I TOUCH" The
older I get the more I feel the same!
