    I thought I don't either. But after someone told me to sit near the feeder for about half an hour before the sun goes down, the second day I saw one.

    Are you mixing the sugar water right . Mix 1 part sugar with 4 parts water.

    and is your feeder a nice bright colour like red and yellow.

    Hope you get one soon cause they are great
