Hummingbirds have been sighted in our area! Now is the time to make sure your feeders are up and ready to receive incoming migrants.
Early arrivals are counting on you to help replenish their energy after their long journey until nectar-rich flowers bloom in May. In return, they bless us with their unique behavior and positive energy. For more information on Hummingbirds & to see where they are migrating in real-time CLICK HERE!
Now let’s explore how to attract Hummingbirds to your yard. Consider adding multiple bright red feeders to your yard, like our Dr. JB 10 oz. Clean Feeder (Image 1). Its designed to be drip-free, bee resistant, and easy to clean. A great starter feeder is The Big Red Hummingbird Feeder Kit (Image 2). It comes complete with sugar, just simply add water! The Red Bird Hummingbird Feeder (Image 3) has a fun design and holds 12 ounces of nectar! Stop in and we can help you select the right feeder and the best location for placement.
Be sure to keep nectar fresh! Hummingbirds that encounter spoiled nectar will avoid the offending feeder for some time. Use our handy guide to help you determine how often to change nectar based on the temperature.
