Here in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville, my squirrels seem to
enjoy the grape jelly I stuff into orange rinds so much that they leave my
hummingbird sugar alone UNLESS I let the grape jelly run out. They compete
hard
with my cardinals & mockingbirds for that jelly, then the opossum comes in
every
night to finish off the jelly that I put out late. My cardinals and house
finches like to sip from the hummingbird sugar water as well.
I have a larger ant trap above my hummingbird feeder where just about all my
birds go to drink water instead of the larger water "trough" beside the grape
vine. The chickadees also like to soak (soften) their sunflower seeds in that
ant trap, then forget to go back for them. I'm always emptying sunflower
seeds from the ant trap.
