February 30, and don't forget the plastic owl.
Not really. Most likely when the orioles come the hummingbirds will fly away. However, when the oriole leaves the hummingbirds will return again. If the hummingbirds do not return put up a oriole feeder that should keep it away from the hummingbird feeder.
No, they stick their beaks in the feeder to sip up the nectar.
It is possible to see hummingbirds in November, depending on your geographic location. In some regions, certain species of hummingbirds may stick around later in the year before migrating south. Providing a consistent food source, such as a feeder with fresh nectar, can attract hummingbirds even in late fall.
Using a hummingbird feeder with a perch can attract and feed hummingbirds more effectively. The perch allows hummingbirds to rest while feeding, reducing their energy expenditure. This can attract more hummingbirds to the feeder and provide them with a convenient and comfortable feeding spot. Additionally, the perch can make it easier for you to observe and enjoy watching the hummingbirds up close.
I heard that if you put a banana skin near a hummingbird feeder that they will dine on the fruit flies.
Sometimes, male hummingbirds willl take possesion of a single feeder, driving away other hummingbirds..To remedy this, place another feeder away from the proximity of the first one, at least 100 feet.

Yes, my sister has them at her feeder in Middletown, Ct., near Hartford.
Yes you definitely can but the traffic will be less. Apparently most hummingbirds prefer a lower level near ground. Some hummingbirds do go up to a height of 12 to 18 feet. I have seen hummingbirds hovering at 2nd floor decks but in that case there were a lot of flower bearing plants on the deck.
They will feed when they return return from their migration. They will return in the spring as soon as the flowers bloom. Putting out a sugar water feeder should help attract them when they return.
Generally not. Both hummingbirds and bees extract nectar from flowers. Hummingbirds consume nectar, but do not produce nor do they drink honey. However, if you put honey water in a hummingbird feeder, the bird will consume the honey.
The Hummingbirds might die...
