For a few dollars we bought a few cups of nectar. The birds loved this nectar. They would land right on you and eat it up. The only down fall was that they ate a lot of nectar. It came out of them just about as fast as it went into them. One of the birds took aim about 3 feet above Logan and shot you know what down his arm and on his shorts (note the slimy looking stuff in the bottom picture). I thought this was hilarious - Logan was kinda confused!
