Hey Stick,
"I never knew that they were so messy for such a clean looking bird. It appears that they are able to somehow spray their crap vertically and laterally from the appearance of the area around the nest."
Those pesky hummingbirds had better thank their lucky stars they are shacking up at a Vet's" carport. Most anyone else on this site would have be having "hummingbird stew" for Sunday dinner!!!
