Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to buy a colorful hummingbird feeder?

Hummingbirds have no sense of smell, so they rely on their keen eyesight to scope out vibrant flowers they can feed on. A hummingbird is much more likely to frequent a feeder if its eyes are drawn to its bright colors. Red is considered the most effective choice, but you can get good results with other vivid colors as well.

What do I put in my hummingbird feeder?

In the wild, hummingbirds feed by collecting the sweet nectar from flowers with their long beaks and tongues. To simulate their natural diet, it’s best to fill your hummingbird feeder with a sugar-water mixture. A good mix consists of one part sugar with four parts of water. Hummingbirds can visit up to 2,000 times in a single day, so hopefully, you’ll have plenty of repeat customers at your feeder.
