Hummingbirds are fascinating creatures and it’s always a nice surprise when one chooses to visit your yard. Hummingbirds don’t eat bird seed so classic bird feeders won’t attract them. If you want hummingbirds to stop by you need a feeder specifically made for their beaks that you fill with nectar.
“In general, hummingbird feeders can be placed in most yards, allowing individuals in all locations to attract and enjoy hummingbirds,” says Bill Freimuth, VP of Sales at Centurion Brands, a manufacturer of garden and outdoor living products. “However, specific considerations such as local climate and the presence of natural habitats may impact the frequency of hummingbird visitors to the feeder.”
