Choose a feeder with bright colors to attract hummingbirds. Place it in a shaded area to keep nectar fresh and easily accessible for the birds.
Keep your feeder clean by washing it with hot water and vinegar every few days. This prevents mold growth and ensures the birds have a safe feeding environment.
Plant native flowers around your feeder to provide additional food sources for hummingbirds. Flowers like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine are popular choices.
Avoid using pesticides in your yard as they can harm hummingbirds. Opt for natural pest control methods to maintain a bird-friendly environment.
Position your feeder near cover like trees or shrubs to give hummingbirds a place to rest and hide from predators. This will make them feel safe while feeding.
Monitor your feeder regularly to check for leaks, spoilage, or any signs of damage. Making small adjustments can help maintain a welcoming space for hummingbirds.
