This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C905E5.BFB06D30 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I have just become aware of a problem with our hummingbird feeder and = even though late in the seaon I think it is worth passing on. The feeder is an inexpensive one sold by many stores it has a clear = plastic body which screws into a base with four bell-shaped plastic = cups, and a cross piece with small plastic perches. It is filled upside = down , the base screwed back on and then tipped back upright and hung = up. Our syrup has been getting cloudy quite rapidly recently and we wondered = why. This morning I inadvertently pulled the base off instead of unscrewing = it exposing the interior of the base which is actually the reservoir for = the syrup. I was dismayed to realize that ,in my ignorance, I had not been cleaning = inside that area when I usually cleaned the feeder, and this reservoir = from which the feeding tubes emerge was coated with a slimy film. I am hoping I am the only dummy in our group -----but I suspect there = may possibly be others who will benefit from the knowledge. Andy Andy & Lelia Dean 86 Baden Powell Drive Kentville, NS. Canada.
