Plant Hummingbird-Friendly Flowers: Choose nectar-rich flowers that are brightly colored, such as red, orange, or pink, to attract hummingbirds. Some popular choices include trumpet vine.
Hang Hummingbird Feeders: Provide hummingbirds with a supplemental food source by hanging hummingbird feeders filled with a sugar water solution.
Place Feeders Strategically: Hang hummingbird feeders in visible and accessible locations, preferably near flowers or other natural perches.
Maintain Clean Feeders: Regularly clean and refill hummingbird feeders to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Clean feeders with hot water and vinegar every few days.
Provide Water Sources: Hummingbirds need water for drinking and bathing. Install a shallow birdbath with a gentle water flow or misting feature to attract hummingbirds to your yard.
Create Shelter and Perches: Plant trees, shrubs, and vines to provide hummingbirds with shelter, nesting sites, and perches for resting and observing their surroundings.
Avoid Pesticides and Chemicals: Minimize or eliminate the use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers in your yard, as these can harm hummingbirds and their food sources.
