A red plastic hummingbird feeder dripped onto the deck and emptied itself.
Relocated it over bushes which might like sugar water and is now in the shade.
Cleaned it thoroughly with hot water and clean paper towel cycles.
The two sides of the clam shell design at the bottom had a 6" M-F edge which didn't seal.
(maybe it had a O-ring at some point that is missing? whatever.
I'm not driving to the store for that.)
I used nylon string as a rope-seal gasket...and for some reason that actually worked..
Delighted to have a bird resident again sitting on the wire in back watching. Small things.
