NO HEADLINE

Dear Heloise: I was certified as a master gardener. As part of our curriculum, we had a lecture on attracting and dealing with wildlife. The speaker told us that hummingbird feeders must be thoroughly cleaned at least every other day – preferably every day – as the hummingbirds can contract an infection or fungus from a dirty feeder. As absent-minded as I am, the hummingbirds are probably better off if I don’t try to feed them. – Mrs. Luhra Warren, Little Rock, Ark.
