Sound the alarm and
spread the word:
Do not let your
hummingbird feeder
Kill your visiting
hummingbird.
What a pleasure it
is to watch
The little critters
hover and dip
And dart and dash
and land on our feeders,
Looking for sweet
nectar to sip!
Enjoying their daily
visits, we want
To offer help to our
little pals.
But if we're
negligent, we might
Be killing the
little guys and gals.
The nectar in your
feeder must
Be changed every
five days or so.
Otherwise, the birds
could die.
This is very
important to know.
If a fungus grows in
the nectar,
There will be a
complication:
The birds will sip
it, their tongues will swell,
And then they'll die
of cruel starvation.
I don't mean to make
you depressed
Or increase your
apprehensions,
But sometimes human
beings can cause
Harm despite our
best intentions.
