Beautiful. I hang dried ropes of pulled up woodbine vine root (it
takes over otherwise), on which feeder birds land, swing, rest, and
watch for chances.Veer Frost, Passumpsic NEK

Turns out the hummingbirds have found it to be the perfect perch to
rest
after feeding instead of flying to the edge of the woods. The slender
branches have been a good fit for hummingbird feet.
The perch allows us to view the birds close up. Other bird species
have
taken to using it as well. A simple addition that has made a big
change in
hummingbird behavior.
