They are so cute! I ran out of red food coloring so put green in mine and believe it or not, they don't care a bit! #48261

Thanks a lot, Carolyn and Dave.

Dave, there were several bird feeders in front of the restaurant, but as soon as I saw the one in front of the OPEN sign, I knew that would make the best shot.

Carolyn, that's amazing! I had no idea they wouldn't go for anything that wasn't red! How interesting. I have yet to see any hummingbirds in the Dallas area. Do they live in this climate?? #150390

love the creative idea and the reds!
"good that the restaurant was open, right, pals?", said one bird to the other! LOL

Thanks, Gaby. Yes, this photo would not have looked as nice, I think, if the red "OPEN" sign wasn't there or wasn't turned on! :-) #151199
