Hummingbird feeders
The
vast array of hummingbird feeders on the market today will help you
to bring these amazing animals close. Watching a hummingbird is exciting.
Bring nature into your yard with a feeder.
There are various types of feeders to choose from. Consider the following
options as you peruse the available selections online or at the local
home and garden store.
• Red is the color that most attracts hummingbirds. Even red
accents are helpful.
• Rest or hover – there are two main types of feeders for
these birds. One type has a perch for the hummingbird to rest; the other
type requires the hummingbird to hover in the air while feeding. While
the hovering type makes for great photo-taking opportunities, the perch
seems to prevail as the most appealing for hummingbirds.
• Cleaning – the feeder will need to be cleaned regularly.
Choose one that lends itself to easy cleanup. Some are even dishwasher
safe.
Placing hummingbird feeders on your deck or in your garden is a great
way to bring nature close to home. Be on the lookout for visits from
these petite animals once you hang the feeder up.
