Attracting Hummingbirds: Tips and Tricks

Plant native flowers like bee balm, salvia, and trumpet vine to provide nectar. Hang bright red feeders filled with sugar water. Keep feeders clean and fresh.

Create a hummingbird-friendly environment with perches for resting and nesting materials like spider silk and soft plant fibers. Avoid pesticides to protect these delicate birds.

Offer a variety of nectar sources by planting flowers that bloom at different times of the year. Include tubular-shaped flowers to attract hummingbirds with long bills.

Provide a water source such as a shallow birdbath with a fountain or mister for hummingbirds to drink and bathe. Change the water regularly to prevent mosquitoes.

Avoid using insecticides near hummingbird feeders or flowers as they can harm these tiny birds. Opt for natural pest control methods to protect both hummingbirds and plants.

Create a safe haven for hummingbirds by placing feeders and flowers near cover like trees or shrubs. Enjoy watching these fascinating creatures and help support their populations.
