Hummingbirds: A Guide to Attracting These Fascinating Creatures
Summary
Learn how to attract hummingbirds to your yard with these essential tips and facts.
If you're captivated by the charm of hummingbirds and want to bring them closer to home, you're not alone. Here’s how you can create a welcoming environment for these enchanting birds.
Diet of Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds primarily feed on flower nectar and sugar water from bird feeders. In addition to these sweet treats, they consume small insects like ants, slugs, and spiders. To make your yard a hummingbird haven, ensure your feeder is always filled with nectar and sugar water.
Choosing the Right Feeder
Hummingbirds are drawn to the color red. If your feeder isn’t red, consider painting it or adding a vibrant red ribbon. The best feeders feature perches for hummingbirds to rest as they eat. Their design should include holes large enough for hummingbirds but too small for larger animals like squirrels to intrude.
Avoid using yellow, as it attracts bees and wasps, which compete for the nectar. Keeping insects away from your feeders will ensure hummingbirds have exclusive access.
Ideal Materials for Feeders
Hummingbird feeders are typically made from acrylic or glass. While wood and plastic options exist, they can pose risks like splinters or sharp edges. Choose designs with multiple feeding areas to accommodate several birds at once.
Placement of Your Feeder
Hang your feeder near bright, flowering plants to catch the eye of passing hummingbirds. Also, consider placing it where you can enjoy watching them, such as in front of a window.
Cost Considerations
Prices for hummingbird feeders vary widely, from $10 to $50, depending on style, design, and additional features.
By following these tips, your yard can become a delightful retreat for hummingbirds, providing you with endless enjoyment as you watch them flit and feed.
