    Good idea but maybe a wire screen would be better as long as the hummers can stick their tongue into through the screen.

    Holes that small mite work but round toothpick size holes (ther beak easily fits thu) seems small enuff to solve the prollem... i dont know why they make the holes so big in the feeders.???
