Interesting concept. A lot would depend on whether hummingbirds equate a large roof-drawing* with a small, real feeder. |

(*It can't be called a mural, since 'murul' comes from the Latin for wall, murus. It could be called a tectal.) |

It might be simpler to rig up a skyward-pointing gun and a laser trigger. You could leave it running for a couple of weeks and you'd have loads of birds on your roof. |

But why hummingbirds, [beany]? There's barely half a mouthful on them and, to be honest, the taste is overrated. |

Instead of cable tv, I have the hummingbird feeder on my patio. Depending on who the area dominant male is that year, we have between two and seven hummers attending. |

Eventually the orioles discovered it, tore loose the screens designed to discourage bees from feeding, and began regular visits. They are bright yellow, and there is as most a few of them in any given season. |

Then the .... I don't know, they're gray. We call them songbirds for lack of positive ID, showed up. Mom, Dad, six or so kids all descended on it. |

We recently replaced it with a model that has smaller apertures for beak access and everybody else moved on, the hummers love it. |

Hummingbirds leave less shit on the roof than most other birds. |

Selective breeding is better; the Giant Square-Tailed Eagle Owls took very little persuasion to switch to predating Chihuahuas as their primary food source. |

Won't work but gets you thinking how to improve the bird
feeder... so + from me. |
