Here's the deal. I've decided to feed some Hummingbirds that have decided to make their home around here for the Winter.
There's a bit of a cold-snap that has hit here, and temps are now consistently at or below freezing, day and night. This creates an issue trying to keep the sugar-water from freezing.
Now, I have seen a design online that utilizes the heat from a 7 Watt night-light blub mounted underneath the feeder in an "enclosure." This is apparently just enough to keep the feeder from freezing.
This is a very simple wiring and install job for me, but there's one thing I wonder about, since I'm not an electrician... Since this is obviously going to be used outdoors, are there any tips or precautions I should know about? The biggest thing I was wondering about was if it would be prudent for me to wire in some kind of in-line fuse with a trip amperage far less than the trip amperage of the fuse in my main electrical box?
Please dont do anything drunk and dumb. Go buy something legal and proper working condition. The birds deserve it.
Are you doing this on a balcony? Is there a ground fault plug on the patio? It is built into my house is why I ask. Other wise I would say yes you would want to do some kind of low amp fusing.

A product like this is not easy to purchase in Canada, since they don't sell such an item.
Wiring of an item like this is easy. I replaced my indoor light fixtures myself, 'cause I didn't like the ones that were here. The place hasn't burnt down yet.
It's moreso how important a low-amperage in-line fuse would be...
I ask this, as at one time I had my Christmas lights strung to my aluminum railing, and if it rained enough, the lights would actually "seep" enough to very mildly charge the railing. Just a minor charge when railing touched. The house fuse did NOT blow. I no longer hang them there.
Just basically need to know what, if any, additional safety measures should be implemented for a very low wattage (7 amp) bulb to be used in an outdoor environment.

^^ it really doesnt need to be that close...buy a low wattage one and place further away...make sure it is secured properly as it does get hot...I use those for my lizards...they give off good heat.

Yes, on a patio.
The outlet has ground-fault plug. However, I'm certain that any 7 watt night-light unit will only be a two-prong...

Read the thread. You can't find them for sale in Canada. If you could, I'd go and buy one.
Basically I want to bust the nightlight housing apart, permanently install it in an enclosure that sits under the feeder, and hardwire it to an extension cord.
This is a very simple thing to do, and would work. Trust me, my quality is good. As stated, I installed all my new indoor light fixtures, so I'm quite able to twist a few wires together.
The only question I'm asking is whether or not it would be prudent to add any extra safeguards, like a low-amp in-line fuse.
I'm not asking whether or not you think I should do it. I don't recall asking that question.
So kiebers, you think just running a two prong with a low amperage in-line would be a safe bet?
Assuming a "standard" 7 Watt bulb would be the only thing ever running through this line, would you know of a desirable fuse amp rating for this circuit, obviously assuming it would have to handle the odd spike that's inherent in any circuits?
Im sure youre great at everything Mel...so why bother to ask here?

I can make what he sells, and by possibly incorporating an in-line fuse, make it even better.

Contact him and find out. DUH.
Why? I can make it myself just as good, and for less.
In fact, I can make it better. That's why I inquire about in-line fuse.
Actually, I more want to know what a proper fuse rating would be to run a 7 Watt bulb, taking into account variables like peaks and spikes.
Basically, enough to always solidly run the light, but would trip the second even a minor short is detected. Although I can do a good job shielding the bulb from the outdoor environment, I always like to "over-do" my work.
You only need fuses for power not light.
If ya need batteries ask Berry she would know.
Quote from: "GORDY GAMBINO"

It would be a wired bulb that plugs into the wall.
In that case the lectricity fuse would protect it. Hope you have circuit breakers not fuses.
Fuses and a light bulb....how much power do you plan on using?? You plan on blowing the whole grid??
Get a night light...fuckin plug it in...not rocket science ffs... :001_rolleyes:
Berry I got a whole grid what are ya planning !!!
Thanks for all your efforts...

Hey Mel, just put some red food colouring in that sterno you drink and feed that to the fucking birds. That shit don't freeze.
This thread is hilarious, Ace wasted his wife's cat with a howitzer but he is concerned about a couple of shitty, hummingbirds. He'll probably shoot them too when he sees that his electric bill went up 5 cents. :laugh3:
You can't make this shit up.
BTW, does anyone else get the feeling that this drunken idiot will end up electrocuting these frickin birds?
Hey Ace, ever think of just increasing the sugar content of the syrup and wrapping the feeder in some pipe insulation?
Start with the easy shit. If that doesn't work, dry out and then attempt to apply some electricity. Remember, just don't lick the receptacle unless it has a GFI.

I've cobbled this together with what I could find at a local store. Not exactly pretty, but should do the job. Time will tell if it prevents freezing.
Plus, the cup should glow reddish/pinkish at night when plugged in. Just in time for the Holidays.
If it's not enough to prevent freezing, I'll have to find a shorter cup to bring the bulb even closer to the feeder.

:laugh:
I would've liked to buy stainless steel return springs, but I didn't feel like driving all over town to get some. I doubt the birds will care...
I have one of those...its a scenty...that should do....just make sure the feeder is sheltered so theres no electrical fires and explosions twords the grid. Hate to see a neighborhood black out...but I'd feel more for the birds...
Thanks for your "Seal of Approval" Berry... Tonight I'll be able to rest easier.

The funny thing was the chick in the store wanted to know why I was needing a certain sized plastic container. When I explained it to her, even the other female employee got in on the convo.
They were a little too old for me, but this would be a good example of something that "breaks the ice." Women love shit like this, once they know what you're trying to do.

As for pulling shielas at hardware it's only tough fucken building contactors like me that get that crumpet Ace.
Now they think ya light is some gay truck stop shit .
It's pink.
The sluts wanna know when Blurt shoves the bulb up ya ass whether the light stays on like a brake light or whether is goes on and off like a indicator or whether ya go the full tranny slut bitch and turn the light on like ya at fucken Las Vegas.
I know it's pink! It's the closest fucking to colour to red that I could find in a size that worked!
The birds won't mind...
I was kinda surprised to see that my pink plastic cup was made in New Zealand. Don't see many things here made there...

Ya, I forgot to empty my decorative steel watering can, and it froze. Now the bottom is pushed out. Once it thaws, I should be able to hammer the bottom flat again.
I left a big round glass fish bowl filled with water a few years ago on my balcony...it froze and the glass shattered in a weird ice form with the glass still stuck to it...it was pretty cool!

I believe so. The Males have red feathers around their heads.
I never knew just how territorial and mean hummers can be! I have a female that now sits on a small branch about 30 feet from my feeder. She guards it all day, and chases away other hummers that go to the feeder.
In fact, when I check the feeder, she has actually come up twice to me, and hovered about six inches away from my eyeballs, staring me straight in the eyes. I have never come this close to any wild bird.
When she realizes that I can't be scared off, she retreats back to her branch to watch and guard.
Tough little fuckers they are, these hummers...

BTW, does anyone else get the feeling that this drunken idiot will end up electrocuting these frickin birds?

You can't make this shit up.
Anything left to say, Oscar Jr?
No? If not, then you can keep your fucking hatch shut from now on.
Go to Memebee and join them... They love and coddle idiots like you. Trust me, I know.
You bored, Ace or just mad?
Took you three days to answer that post. It's old news. Next you will be bumping 2year old threads like old monkey pants, just so you can get a tiny bit of attention. :laugh3:
BTW, if Van was all about coddling idiots, you would have a place there for life. Go make another bird feeder so you can pretend you are back in special Ed shop class, you fucking besotted, moron.
Wow!
All that effort, Wulf... for nothing!

Its a female
I believe so. The Males have red feathers around their heads.
I never knew just how territorial and mean hummers can be! I have a female that now sits on a small branch about 30 feet from my feeder. She guards it all day, and chases away other hummers that go to the feeder.
In fact, when I check the feeder, she has actually come up twice to me, and hovered about six inches away from my eyeballs, staring me straight in the eyes. I have never come this close to any wild bird.
When she realizes that I can't be scared off, she retreats back to her branch to watch and guard.
Tough little fuckers they are, these hummers...
The females are brownish and the males are the green ones...they are the pretty ones..its a mating thing.

They are great.
Had to step up to a 15 Watt bulb to keep the mix from freezing.
It seems to be working.
The female guards, and even when I walked the feeder back out, she instantly decided to feed while it was still in my hand.
Again, inches from me, and I holding the feeder since it wasn't hung yet.
These are tough, fearless little fuckers, with absolutely no fear.
If they were even a quarter of the size of an American Eagle, they would rightfully be the bird of "courage and strength"...
Did you fuck her right in the pussy
Nope, but the feeder worked for this cold-snap!
Temps are thawing out the frozen in this frozen shithole known as Canada, so the feeder was a success for at least three Hummers.
One guarded it with extreme fierceness, even flying right up to my eyeball, and staring me straight in the eye.
Toughest fucking birds around.

As you know humming birds are attracted to bright colors such as red, pink or orange.
The poor dumb thing was probably confused by the gin blossoms on your face.
In can assure you they are tough birds!
The MINUTE I come back out of the house with a freshly filled feeder in hand, this little fucker was on it!
I can honestly state that I have come eye to eye with a Hummer. Within a few inches. I even saw his tongue! Ya, they have a tongue that they sip up the Nectar/Sugar with...
That's nice, Mel. Savor the experience.
You seem to very excited about getting close to a "hummer". Unfortunately it's not the kind of "hummer" most guys get excited about.
What's your next project, a flower arrangement for Blurt's coming out cotillion?

Wiping down and oiling the Browning, so its action is nice and clean for you when I shove it down your throat...

Go soil the sheets. :laugh3:
No soil. I piss 'em...

Soiled linen is soiled linen. It doesn't matter. If it's pissed or shitted, it's fucken soiled.
Go to any hospital and check out the "Soiled Linen Room"; poke thru the hamper, you'll see what's, what. :laugh3:
