With the cold ice and snow conditions this past week there were lots of discussions among Dallas Retirement Village residents concerning hummingbird juice feeders. It is essential to hummingbird survival to be able to have access to juice feeders in these arctic conditions, but most of the people attempting to provide juice found they were dealing with the feeders freezing solid. Many were changing out their feeders several times a day in an attempt to provide liquid juice. As far as I know, resident Carolyn Wall may have the best solution, a heated feeder, as shown in the photo. Plugged into electricity, a lightbulb gives off enough heat to keep the juice from freezing.
