We didn't eat at Vie's but took a picture anyway. Now in going through all our pictures I find this one. What the heck IS this hanging over the table anyway?

Jumbie Feeder...

Now that the idea has been planted as to what it is, I can see the bird at the top. Otherwise it almost looks like a cow head bones. Looks like someone got a little "crafty" with a coconut.

It's a hummingbird feeder. It was carved out of a coconut. They added some horns? to look like a mask? There is something there that resembles a hummingbird in flight. Some of the guys around make these carvings to sell. Have not seen anyone selling them in years.

That is so cool! I thought you had to have red or yellow to attract the hummingbirds.

I said hummingbird, but I think it would be better stated as a bananaquit feeder, just add sugar!

We sat at that very table in February and I must report that the "jumbie feeder" is a favorite dining spot for the bananaquits. Several were there enjoying their sugar du jour while we were enjoying Miss Vie's Garlic Chicken.

when you feed them do you put just sugar or do you add water to it?
