PSA: Clean your hummingbird feeder more than once a week

I went three weeks without cleaning mine last summer and nearly killed a whole flock of them. Saw one with a swollen tongue at the feeder and that's when I looked it up - mold grows fast even if the sugar water looks fine. Anyone else notice a drop in visits when they skip a cleaning?

Doubt it's that serious, mine's gone months without issues.

months without issues" - have you actually looked for mold or just didn't see any?
