- It's a misconception that feeders and feed are all Ruby-throated Hummingbirds need to find and live in your yard. For birds, including hummingbirds, it's all about habitat. Learn the in's and out's of hosting hummers.
Watched all your 4 part series. I learned so much thanks for sharing.
I found that the color yellow attracts wasps and hornets to feeders. "Droll Yankee " makes a glass feeder in only red. No bee guards needed!
This is a really good video, I like the way you did this, with good information well presented. Thank you, i'm going to have a look at the other videos in this series.

Thank you ❤
Thank you for this! I will definitely modify some of my plants and didn't realize how often to scrub out the feeder.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent information! I'm new to hummingbird love and greatly appreciate this. Thank you for recommending the book resources as well. Happy hummingbird watching :)
Glad it was helpful!
What happens if you are committed but then you go out of town or on vacation etc? How can we not abandon them during that time? Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing these videos Sharon. I was driven inside tonight by the rain, but most evenings I enjoy watching the birds while sitting outside near their feeder. They don't seem to be at all upset by my presence. Male hummers seem to be constantly on the watch for other males; they seem to always be in motion, whether feeding or simply sitting on a branch. Do you suppose male hummers die young because of this behavior? I suppose other male birds behave in a similar way, but not constantly-------- I miss our monthly bird club meetings at the library.
Thanks, Ron. So far as I know, there's no evidence that males die younger than females; but that would be a difficult study to make reliably. True, they're in constant motion, but females struggle to survive the nesting rigors. If I were guessing, I'd guess more females die during breeding season than do males--because of starvation and the inability to go into torpor.
