Attracting Hummingbirds

The keys to attracting hummingbirds are to provide food, help for nesting and water misters for them to fly through.

Hummingbirds are extremely loyal to feeding sites. A hummingbird that feeds in your yard one year will return to that feeder the next. Their lifespan is about 3-5 years with a maximum of 12 years.

The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is the most prevalent East of the Rocky Mountains. Because the male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is so territorial, one key is to offer lots of feeders. If tree branchs are not avilable or are at undesirable place you can use poles. A Hummingbird Feeder Pole System shown here can be used to view at an optimum location. Offer many groups of feeders spaced so that they are a good distance from one another or obscured by an object or landscape, no matter what kind of feeders you decide to use. Remember two Golden Rules: Keep the feeder clean and the nectar fresh. Hummingbirds keep their distance from fermented nectar.

Perhaps hummers understand that they need a clear head for their acrobatic flying. Fermented nectar can support the growth of deadly molds. If a hummingbird gets a taste of fermented nectar from your feeder, it will look elsewhere for a drink and remain suspicious of the offending feeder for a long time.
