Q. |
How much does
this maintenance cost? |
| A. |
That is a good
question. Currently the cost is $______. This
covers, nectar preparation, cleaning services
(to keep mold and allergens from contaminating
the feeder) delivery and fuel costs and
distribution expenditures. |
|
Q. |
Couldn't I do
this myself? |
| A. |
Of course you could,
but this would be a very time consuming endeavor
to take on and it means assuming a certain
amount of responsibility for the well-being of
this fragile and trusting bird. If you are not
prepared to follow a rigorous maintenance
routine, one that we have done years of research
on, then please, hire us to maintain your feeder
for you. We can assure that the Hummingbirds
will receive the attention that they deserve. |
|
Q. |
What makes
your floral design so unique? |
| A. |
Our design may look
simple but this patent pending device was
specifically devised for maintenance easy
control while providing maximum beautification.
With multiple studies determining the best
feeder designs, placement and color
attractiveness, our Hummingbird Saviors are sure
to please. |
|
Q. |
How much does
it cost? |
| A. |
Currently the cost is
$_____ for the basic design, but soon there will
be interchangeable seasonal arrangements for
year round enjoyment. |
|
Q. |
Year round?
Don't Hummingbirds migrate? |
| A. |
Yes Hummingbirds
migrate, as with most birds, they head south for
the winter, and since we are based in Texas, our
winters are less harsh than Northern climates so
Hummingbirds from the north could travel
into Texas and stay far into fall and early
winter, but many travel further south towards
Mexico, Central America and Panama. |
|
Q. |
When do
Hummingbirds return? |
| A. |
As early as February
if it's been a mild winter. Basically, their
migration patterns are based on their
instinctual need to mate and return to their
breeding ground, which usually coincides with
the flowering of the plants that normally give
food. |
|
Q. |
So if
Hummingbirds migrate, do I need to pay for
winter maintenance? |
| A. |
Not if you don't want
to. But remember this: By living in Texas, just
like Winter Texans, Hummingbirds migrating from
the North visit this region every year. Leaving
a feeder up might attract one of these
hummingbirds and if that feeder is maintained
over the winter, those hummingbirds will visit
it year round. Migration expends a LOT of stored
energy so feeders maintained throughout winter
may be a Hummingbirds only source of food.
