Choose a Location: Place your feeder in a semi-shaded area with nearby perches. Avoid placing it near windows to prevent collisions.
Provide Shelter: Plant native flowers and shrubs around the feeder to offer hiding spots and natural food sources for hummingbirds.
Keep it Clean: Regularly clean the feeder with a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
Use the Right Food: Fill the feeder with a homemade nectar solution of 4 parts water to 1 part white granulated sugar. Avoid red dye.
Avoid Pesticides: Opt for natural pest control methods in your garden to protect hummingbirds from harmful chemicals.
Enjoy the View: Sit back, relax, and watch these delightful birds enjoy the welcoming environment you've created around your feeder.
