Choose bright, tubular flowers like salvia or trumpet vine to attract hummingbirds naturally to your garden. These blooms are rich in nectar they adore.
Install a hummingbird feeder filled with homemade sugar water (one part sugar to four parts water). Avoid red dye to ensure their health and safety.
Place feeders in shady spots to keep the nectar fresh longer and make them easily visible to flying hummingbirds looking for food sources.
Keep feeders clean by rinsing and refilling every few days to prevent mold, which can harm hummingbirds and discourage their visits.
Add a water feature like a shallow fountain or misting system. Hummingbirds love to bathe and enjoy the sound and sight of moving water.
Provide perches by planting shrubs or small trees nearby, giving hummingbirds a spot to rest while they guard their feeding territories.
Avoid pesticides in your garden, as they harm insects that hummingbirds eat. A pesticide-free yard ensures these birds have enough food for energy.
