    To reduce the black fungus. After washing feeder rinse with plain white vinegar. Then rinse off the vinegar.

    Great video! I have hummingbird feeders in my yard along with many plants hummingbirds love, planted in various colored pots around my yard and patio. I have a lot of tall pines and oak trees as well as a few fruit trees that they fly into to eat fruit flies and gnats. I also have a couple of small fountains that drizzle water that they bathe in every day! I agree! Brightly colored tubular shaped flowers, hummingbird feeders, and shallow fountains along with trees for them to perch in will bring loads of hummingbirds to your yard!🌺🪴🌸🌿⛲️🌳 ❤

    I have an arbor with honeysuckle vines which started blooming like crazy in recent weeks. I have seen a couple hummingbirds feeding from it this week. They are not so commonly seen in my neighborhood in central Ohio, so I was highly amused to see them.

    can bees/wasps/ants and hummingbirds "get along"?? - would love to see you do a video on it - sometimes it scares me when I see a lot of bees/wasps/ants around and sometimes inside my hummingbird feeders

      Our trumpet vine has yet to bloom. This year it will be 5 years since it's planted. We hope it blooms this year. Geesh its' taking forever.

      The hummingbirds love my trumpet vines. Over the years they’ve spread. I’m in the middle of building a separate hummingbird/butterfly garden. I’m doing ground prep. I have the plants in pots. Won’t plant in ground until fall.

    Number#6 Tie a few foot long strips of Pink florescent surveying tape/ribbon( from your local hardware store)from some trees limbs. Birds have keen sence of sight and that will help catch their eye as they are passing from a distance and prompt them to investigate, attract them to your yard and help find your feeder.

      If you want to get spring migrants, February is a good time, but Louisiana also hosts winter hummingbirds so you could actually keep one up year round.

      I live in a woods in Eastern TN, I put bird seed out in 7 spots and my cats and I had to make a feeding trough for a 4 legged "bird" I told my fur kids to call him " uncle buck" , most nights he shows up only 40 feet from my camper and I talk to him he just looks at me and keeps eating, some nights the cats smell him and he smells them😊 they all get along. I took a plastic garbage can lid painted white and put it just in the ground as a bird bath .

    I've probably mentioned this before but if you can overcome the fear of a bumble bee looking for nectar and hold still enough, they'll lick the wax out of your ears. It's been since the seventies since I allowed that personally but remember that it tickles.

      I live in NE Ohio and I’ve noticed that I stop seeing hummingbirds around June to mid-late July. Then I sporadically see them through august & less in September. They must just all be passing through. Each year, I add more for them, hoping to get them to stick around!
