We put out a couple more hummingbird feeders today, and I could not come =
up with a good explanation as to why the water just doesn't drain out.  =
I'm sure you all know the type of feeder I'm talking about.  A plastic =
container you fill with liquid, then you screw on a red plastic part =
that has four perches and a flower like design.  You turn the whole =
thing upside down and hang it.  So why doesn't the liquid just drain =
out?  Why does it come out for the hummingbirds, but not for gravity?
Pondering the truly great question of our time in Freeport, I look =
forward to an answer.
Andy
