Hummingbird Feeders - Your Guide to Get Hummingbirds Buzzing Around Your Backyard

Hummingbirds are wonderfully unique birds to watch. They flutter, hover, dodge, dart and just simply seem to play. However, all that moving around burns a tremendous amount of energy and they need to feed frequently. They literally fly to eat and eat to fly!n

Hummingbird feeders are usually filled with a mixture of 4 parts water to one part sugar. This mixture should be boiled to ensure all impurities are killed. Any excess can be refrigerated until needed. The mixture should be changed at least once a week and more frequently in very warm weather. You can also find powdered mixtures at your local hardware or bird store which works well.

Humming Bird

Red is very attractive to hummingbirds, so your feeder should have some red in it. Please do not use red food coloring in your homemade food. To color a sugar mixture, find a bird friendly coloring at your local birding store.

Keeping desirable flowers in your garden near the feeder is also helpful in getting those little guys to frequent your feeders. Flowering plants like Columbine, Begonias and Holly Hocks, as well as Fuchsias, Coral Bells and Lantana will definitely increase your chances. Impatiens, Penstemen, and Petunias along with Geraniums and Flowering Tobacco are also favorites of hummingbirds. There are many other types of flowers hummingbirds will frequet.

Be careful putting multiple feeders too close together! Hummingbirds are very territorial and will defend their "turf" to the death.

The best time to start putting out feeders is when the weather starts to warm up. Yes, this is a little vague, but hey, these guys aren't on a schedule. Since they are migratory birds, you will have a good chance of getting them to hang around if you get your food out early.

I hope you are able to enjoy this little wonders for a long time to come, they truly are wonderous birds.

Hummingbird Sex Position

Hummingbird Position has nothing to do with that little bird of course. It is a sexual position in which the legs and arms of the partners involved are flapping about, they are not in use at all.

Let's face it - the real art of making love is not what you see in those sleazy porn movies - it is something beautiful, something divine, truly artistic.
