Please use this thread to inform forum members of anywhere you may have found a hummingbird -- don't forget most are RANDOM and not everyone will find them in the same place

    A thread for chat rather than bumping the competition thread all the time! Good lord I wonder the op hasn't been burnt at the stake.

    BTW Hastings direct car insurance as per a couple of posts back is the daily clue answer.

    Why are answers considered chat?

    Because (apart from the daily clue where an entry is guaranteed) they are completely random... and people posting on the competition post about where they have found a random entry (where 99% of other people won't find it in the same place) just bumps the thread for no reason


    Also for the same reason we had a separate thread when they ran the Sweet Treats comp https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5360767

    as the comp thread had over 360 comments on it

    WRONG, although they are random, in many cases they will be found exactly where someone else finds them, they are also not spread across all parts of the site so knowing where they have been found can be a guide for a repeat.

    The posts on the main comp thread about not posting on it are of course chat.
  • Just got one on the trainline, though just a draw entry. I did win 10p earlier though!

    Earlier someone posted Holland and Barrett, so I went and found one there, now I've just got one on trainline too, so I think it's safe to say they're not completely random, and than you very much to the people who let us know where they find them. During the Christmas one, I found loads of birds, having a real hard time this time. I must have clicked on 150 links....nada
