Summary: Where to put them, do they use them?


       1.  Will hummingbirds use a feeder if it is near
           a feeder for larger birds?

       2.  I cannot remember seeing a hummingbird use a
           feeder.  Does anyone know if those red plastic
           feeders really attract the hummers?

      There are finches and hummers around my apt. complex,
   so I put up one feeder for each.  The finches come around
   constantly, but I don't think I am getting any action from
   the hummers.  Hence my questions.
