since I moved here to country I seen all kinds of birds that I never seen in the city
I never seen a humming bird in person before until I moved here
long I am on a low carb diet I am not going to save that grease and make some Suet Cakes and make one of flower thingies for the humming birds

thanks man

I save left over seeds from making jam. I just throw them in the freezer and use them the following fall. I have saved raspberry seeds. grape seeds and even grape skins. Birds love them
