Right now I have blooming plants and one feeder. I find that the RTH prefers the plants over the feeder. Do RTH not bother with feeders if there are plants to go to??? Should I just take the feeder down or keep it up? I change the feeder solution everyday so I know freshness is not a question. Thanks in advance for any advice. BH Spring Hill, FL

My recommendation is to keep a feeder up. Young birds tend to be slow to learn to use a feeder but you never know when one will come through looking for a feeder. A feeder could make the difference as to if a bird stays or not. This would be especially true if multiple birds are passing through and food competition becomes a factor.

My local hummers are the opposite at the moment.
I have started planting for them and occasionally they will visit a blue salvia I have for them but the feeders are being used a couple of times an hour.
Saying that I had a similar situation in my last garden that I never figured out but I kept a feeder up all the time.
