Illegal to use sugar water in California???
Comments (16)Sugar water replicates very closely the natural plant nectar that is a part of a hummingbird's normal diet. But nectar is only a portion of that diet, which is primarily insects or other sources of protein. Nectar (or sugar water) is a high energy source that hummers use to maintain their caloric intake to fuel their hunt for proteins. Feeders are only supplemental food sources, generally provided to attract the birds in the first place and to augment the possible lack of natural nectar sources present in the winter months. It seems likely that a baby, not getting nourishment from its mother, would not develop in the same manner on just a nectar or sugar water diet, so what the rescue woman is saying makes a lot of sense. But there is no earthly reason NOT to provide sugar water to the adult birds (and even their young) as a supplement as long as it is kept fresh, clean and free from bacterial and fungal organisms, which can grow and proliferate rapidly on that nutrient source. And of course any artificial colorings are a no-no and totally unnecessary anyway. Here is a link that might be useful: hummingbird diets and supplemental feeders...See MoreNeighbor using my DSL network.
Comments (5)I live out in the country and he is more than 200 feet from me. I was surprised that he could get on. There isn't another house near by and I do trust this man. He DID tell me he was using the service. He and his wife are quiet people and a lot of the time she is the only one home because his work takes him all over the country. I have been guilty of parking in the lot of a motel and grabbing their service long enough to check my email while I was on vacation. I usually get a decent motel that offers the service for free, but when I travel with a dog I often go to the really cheap, old motels. They don't charge an arm and a leg for the dog. As for my neighbor, we are terribly snowed in in this area and he has just arrived home. He has my snow blower and he is doing both his and my drives. I love living out in the boonies....See MoreNeighbor buried his dog fence on neighbors property
Comments (32)For the life of me, I couldn't understand why anyone would even be motivated to move their wires so far in to adjoining properties, because that would allow their animals to be in somebody else's property and if those adjoining homes had any problems with the animals being there, it negates the reason to even install one. I Googled around about those underground fence systems, and found some manufacturers state the perimeter area has to be at least 500 feet, or they may not work properly. On a smaller city lot, I can see where some people who wish to use them don't have enough ground to do a proper installation. OK, so that's probably why they trespassed their system so far in several directions. If they got permission, that's one thing. If they didn't, I wouldn't trust them any further than I could throw an anvil. What else would they do, to make life more convenient for themselves? There are wireless systems they could have used, but those are more expensive. So, they save a few bucks by using somebody else's property? It's a danged shame when folk have to worry about what presumptive people like that think, or worry about feuds or retributions. You shouldn't have to pussy foot around and send anyone anonymous letters to inform anyone. If the folks who laid the line were forthright and honest, it wouldn't make a difference if you told the other property owners because they'd already know. It's called consideration in a social situation. Without permission it's also illegal....See MoreGrow Lights-Dont Want Neighbors to Think I'm growing something illegal
Comments (2)What will be obvious is you have a very bright overhead light (but only compared to your neighbours), but being on the 4th floor unless you have an adjacent apartment/office/hill no-one will be able to see the 'floor' of your apartment (just walk outside and look up, lots of ceilings, no floors). CFLs would be just as "obvious", but from that distance it would be very difficult for anyone to tell what kind of light it was, just that it made a lot and was throwing out white light. It's worth remembering that the folks you don't want to be confused with are trying to hide what they're growing, either in tents or rooms with closed windows. I wouldn't worry too much. The RCMP can't bust down your door just based on a neighbour calling and saying "hey, my neighbour has a bright light in his/her window, go bust them for running a grow-op". They may be 'annoyingly bright', especially if you have hardwood floors which might reflect the light into your eyes, but you can always turn them off and they are supposed to send light *down* not sideways....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
