I had a sad experience with some poor little hummingbirds. My shop has 22 ft ceilings and sometimes birds come in and fly around but, they usually leave .
yesterday was different . At least 10 humming birds were flying all around my shop , apparently attracted by my Red riding mower . My wife and I tried for 6-7 hrs to get them out .
We tried all the tricks . They started dying from starvation , Hummingbirds can starve in an hr or less when its hot. We called some professionals that do this all the time .
They had some tricks they use using red flags , spotlights , shutting the doors except for 1 ft opening , waiving red flags nothing worked! the people we called said they had never seen anything like it ?
He suggested that we shoot them with bb gun or they will all starve and it would not be an easy death . I did not want to do it but, I had no choice . I even left shop doors open all night .
I went to shop this morning and half of them were dead ... the rest were very weak but, strong enough to fly away when you tried to grab them with long handled net .
I had to shoot the rest of them :sad: We got rid of feeders on the other side of building , threw them in trash . I am very sad about the whole deal . I said a prayer for the little birdies.....:sad:
