They will occasionally land on a light fixture or garage opener to rest but will not come down. I have tried coaxing them with the feeder and even flowers but I always end up getting the ladder and simply picking them off their perch feeding them for a few minutes and then releasing.
They need nectar frequently to survive.
Now, we have a house rule that the garage doors are kept only half open during HB season.......got to keep these little beauties safe.
try leaving the doors open and shut off allthe lights, just at sunset. generaly the birds head for light. If not, they tend to roost in the dark. easier to catch.
We get them, all breeds, in our warehouses. Seems theonly way to get them out.
