BBN S7:E11 - Deterring Ants, Shade for Hummers, Peanut Butter for Birds, Belted Kingfisher
Channel: Brome
Date: 2023-05-23

What an information-packed episode I have for you this week. My Hummingbirds are back, and that means ants in and around the feeders. If you don’t have an ant moat, try suspending your Hummingbird feeder or fruit using fishing line. Ants don’t like it and will stay away. Dr. Bird addresses a question about birds overdosing on peanut butter and on Brome Bird Book he’s offering a few tips on how to help Hummingbirds stay cool in hot weather. This year we’re composting poplar, maple, ash leaves and grass clippings to see what sort of organic fertilizer that will give us next season. And finally, ‘B’ is for Belted Kingfisher on Bird Alphabet. Next episode is ‘B’ for Brown Thrasher.
