That's it. I'm finished. I'm getting out the 12 gauge. The flowers in the boxes along the deck rail become all dry and stuff even though I water them ever other day, water them quite thoroughly. Yesterday evening I again saw a hummingbird stick its beak into one and it dawned on me that it was sucking the life force out of the flower.

THAT'S why the flowrs turn dry and into seeds! Floravampiric hummingbirds!

I'm casting silver shot to take 'em down with permanently! The local Garden Club will back me!

DEATH TO THE FLOWER SUCKERS!!
