Create a sweet nectar mix using 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Avoid red dye. Hang feeders in shaded areas. Change nectar every 2-3 days.
Experiment with different feeder designs to attract a variety of hummingbirds. Opt for feeders with perches for birds to rest while feeding.
Try adding fruit juice or mint to the nectar for variety. Clean feeders thoroughly with hot water and vinegar every week to prevent mold growth.
Plant native flowers like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine near feeders to provide natural food sources. Keep feeders away from predators like cats.
Avoid using pesticides in your yard to protect hummingbirds and their food sources. Provide multiple feeders to accommodate more birds in your garden.
Enjoy the beauty and joy of watching hummingbirds flock to your feeders. Share your feeder recipes and bird-watching experiences with fellow enthusiasts.
