• What is the best place to put the feeder?

No direct sun. Hummingbirds prefer a more shady area where there may be trees or foliage for protection. This is also good for the nectar and will keep bacteria from forming. If possible, Hummers also like a water source nearby. A small bird bath is appreciated.

• How often should I change nectar and clean the feeders?

The feeders and base should be cleaned every 2 to 3 days depending on the heat. In 90® weather, change every day. Check often to be sure nectar is not cloudy. Bacteria and mold can build up and, If the nectar is bad, the hummers may not return. Use warm soapy water and rinse well. Use the Hummer’s Galore curved bristle brush to clean inside the feeder all the way to the bottom.

• How can I attract more hummingbirds to my yard?
  • Feeder must be up early to attract hummers.
  • Hummers continually feed all waking hours, so healthy nectar is essential.
  • Other flowers in your yard help attract hummers.
  • Top flowers for hummers include Red Cardinal, Trumpet Vine, Salvia, Petunias, Rhododendron, and Butterfly Bush.

Be sure to put your feeder up early so hummers will find you and know you are a good source for them. Because some hummers wings beat 80 times per second, they are continually feeding during all waking hours. The nectar provided in the feeders is very helpful, but flowers in the yard attract hummers and also bring much-needed nectar. Bugs are also a good source of protein, and hummers love to eat them and also feed them to their young.
