Hummingbirds are attracted to moving water. Consider adding a fountain or dripper to your birdbath to create ripples that catch their attention.
Keep the water fresh by changing it every 2-3 days. Stagnant water can harbor bacteria harmful to hummingbirds.
Place the birdbath in a shaded area to prevent the water from heating up too much in the sun. Hummingbirds prefer cool water.
Add a few small pebbles or rocks to the birdbath to provide perches for hummingbirds while they drink and bathe.
Avoid using chemicals or soaps to clean the birdbath. Rinse it thoroughly with water to ensure it is safe for hummingbirds.
Maintaining a clean and fresh water source is key to attracting hummingbirds to your garden. Enjoy watching these delightful creatures visit regularly.
