For the most part unless the critter is in immediate danger or wounded, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!
Read the above link and take it from there.
Maybe should throw in the annual Hummingbird regimen too. LOL They are sooo cute! LOL
Firstly please use a quart of water to 3/4's cup of granulated sugar. Bring just to a boil and remove from heat to cool. DO NOT ADD FOOD COLORING! Refrigerate. When you hang out the feeder do clean it well in between fillings with soap and water and rinse very thoroughly. Do this every three or four days in cool weather and every other day or so if it's hot. This is the closest recipe to natural nectar in the wild.
Keep in mind that you do not HAVE to keep those feeders full all of the time. It's good for the little terrors to go out and forage for their normal foods in between. They slurp up tiny little insects while they are lapping up the nectar for much needed protein.
For flying pests like wasps, hornets etc. apply vasaline or petroleum jelly around the feeder ports and use "bee guards". For ants, apply it thickly on the twine or wire holding the feeder up.
You can leave those feeders out for another three weeks after you see the last birds. Feeders will NOT keep them from migrating, and that last bit of nectar might save some johnny-come-lately on it's way south who is migrating a bit late.
This is the regimen used by the San Diego Zoo and Wildlife Park. These wonderful people have been able to breed many a delicate species of hummingbird in captivity.
Have fun..I just love spring! LOL LQ
