I may be in the wrong forum. and this may be well off base, BUT... what i am looking for is a little information concerning guitar string/piano wire/spring steel properties. I have a hummingbird feeder that seems to attract far too many woodpeckers than the few hummingbirds that live around here in the Phoenix area. I would like to make a hummingbird resting stand that would hold the .11 to .14 oz hummingbirds, but bend below and restrict the larger woodpecker birds from reaching the feeding ports. Yet, when they do try (the woodpeckers) it would spring back up to hold the smaller hummingbirds.... Sounds crazy? well, that's me I guess. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what size wire I could use. The wire itself would be center point attached and 8 (eight) inches across with about a 1 - 1 1/2" right angle bend at the ends, allowing the little hummingbirds a resting spot.
Sound far fetched? ok, just let met know. I answer almost all emails and may not check this forum, unless an email comes in.
thanks much....
