Re Hummingbirds: Sweet Attraction

This is in addition to my previous "Hummingbird Catspaw Shower": I believe there would also need to be a couple of little hummingbird feeders nearby or under the shower, with special hummingbird syrup or sugarwater, whatever they like or need best; I believe they come with covers that have only a hole big enough for the hummingbirds' beaks, so the solution wouldn't get diluted from the shower above. Please let me know, folks, if my info is incorrect in any way, I would most certainly appreciate it!

Wild Hummingbird Shower!

Hey, I was listening to Backyard Habitat on Animal Planet on tv, and I suddenly envisualized the wildest little shower for our cute little hummingbird friends; granted, now, that the birds would be brave enough to come beneath it: it would be a shaggy set of four tiger-striped cat legs, paws and all, giving off the gentle mist that the birds would love to come beneath and bathe their wings in; a funky image, no? The only problem is, WOULD the hummingbirds fly beneath the catpaws for the watermist, despite what they look like? Or would they know that they weren't alive? In other words, it would be a test of the birds' intelligence. Do any of you out there think they would pass? Drop me a comment and let me know.
