How To Attract Hummingbirds 

Their ruby throats & iridescent blue green backs are an exquisite vision.

I live in Washington. Just before spring I had a hummingbird chirping at me a few days in a row. I got a feeder. I clean and fill the feeder once a week. I make my own. The bird now lets me know when its close to empty by hovering and staring in the kitchen window. As I speak the feeder is in the dishwasher. I am going to get another feeder since there has become a battle over the feeder with other hummingbirds. I rent an apartment from a hay farmer. Not a single flower to be seen for acres. Still not sure why they are here but they are entertaining.

I never had any type of bird feeder in the yard. I heard that hummers can remember 300 different feeding locations. An interesting observation I had was that the morning after I put a hummingbird feeder up, there was a cardinal AND a blue jay sitting in the same small tree as the hummingbird feeder. I am convinced that these other birds saw the feeder, and figured they would look to see if there was anything around for them. Birds are smart.

3:10 How to attract hummingbirds. The previous is interesting discussion on the the bird itself. Thanks for posting.

Great video!! Very informative. We just put out our first feeder and a hummer came by that very same day. It was a beautiful thing to see.

Best vid on Hummers yet. These little troopers are so amazing. Thanks, C.B.C.

One day I heard some squeaking outside my window. Looking out I saw 2 males locked face to face near the feeder. I went outside and found them laying in the grass, still locked together. I gently picked them up and one flew away. The other was exhausted so I set him on the feeder. After a few minutes of sipping the sugar water he flew away. They are like little rockets, zooming all over the yard.

nice tip on cleaning the feeders.. I wouldn't have even thought to do that

doubt if we would be able to attract them to England... lol seriously you are lucky to have these delightful birds

Thank you so very much for making and sharing this video. ☺ I love nature and these little guys amaze me. I am currently trying to attract more to my yard.

I heard bleach and soap residue is dangerous for them... I just scrub with white vinegar once a week and clean the feeder out about twice a week. Is that good enough?

Loved the facts about these little birds. Great video, thank you.

Excellent presenter and well done production

Hello from the west coast of Canada, British Columbia. I have ONE little Hummingbird that visits 2 yrs. now cuz i have flowers on my balcony. I want to know if it is a male or female & your vid. helps me find out. He/she likes the Nasturtiums best. I have Snapdragons & a Mandeville plant as well as Geraniums but the Nasturtiums r his/her favourite. I have made a Hummingbird feeder with instructions on it being safe for the Hummingbird. I enjoy knowing all i can about these incredible little creatures that have beautiful iridescent feathers. Thank you very much, i have enjoyed listening and watching your vid. Have a pleasant week!

I’ve set up 8 humming bird feeders all around the house and they still fight. 🤣

I live in Indiana. Hummingbirds like butterfly bushes, zinnias, bee balm (monarda), and other flowers. Great video.

That was very educational. I’ve wanted to start my hummingbird feeders for awhile now. I think I’m more confident with what I’ve learned here. Thank you for the information. 🙏

Thank you I love birds I want to post pictures of hummingbirds and I need to attract hummingbirds thank you for making this video!

what an enjoyable video thank you.

Thank you so much..hope I can have some in my yard. That was great and I love your voice.

"The aerial combat that follows, is fun to watch"

Thank you for additional info about vegetable oil on the the hanging wire for ants, a great trip that I will try, nice video

Thank you! Great video!

As info too, never used distilled water as it lacks all the trace minerals they need. Also boiling removes impurities from the sugar also so you must boil it combined as show here.

excellent info. and video - thank you !

Great Video-- love the Indian flute Music in the background-- you did a professional, very excellent Job!! Thank you for Posting!! :)

This is the best Hummingbird video I’ve seen, well done!. Thank you 😊

Beautifully informative video! Thank you. God bless you 😊

Beautiful informative. Bless you

Awesome sharing here ! Lovely Filming too ! 5 thumbs up Video !

I LOVE WATCHING HUMMINGBIRDS

This is very informative! Just ordered my humming bird feeder so I can capture them with my slowmo camera. Thanks again for sharing.

thank you. great video

Great info. Thanks for your obvious knowledge on these little treasures....

Very enjoyable video but boiling water does not remove impurities unless you’re capturing the steam and condensing that back into water

thank you

Thanks for such a fascinating video! I do have to say, though, that I know of at least one other bird that can hover and that is the white-tailed kite and some other birds of prey.

Love our beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbirds!

Thank you

Thank you for the details very helpful in Near the East Coast of NC!!

What a great way to keep a space to attract these birds.

Thank You for all your tips, info. I learned quite a bit. Thanks.

I have so many humming bird hawk moths but not humming birds (Ontario)

Many folks look at our western Broad-Tailed Hummingbird and assume it's a ruby-throated. I believe the ruby-throated is slightly larger than our Broad-Tailed.

Yes! Ty!

Just what I needed! Thanks! I can't wait to get started and set up some super high speed cameras.

I live in northern California and it gets hot in summer. What is the reason you have to change the nectar every 3-4 days if it's hot? Does the heat degrade the nectar (sugar water?). What is the temperature that you consider hot? 80, 90, 100 degrees? Thanks so much for this very good video.

Very informative and your video shots are awesome!

I had a wonderful showing of hummingbirds last year. ONE showed up this year but didnt stay I'm in No Va. Put the feeders out in March. The one showed up in April, but left. Same clean feeders. Same homemade sugar syrup. Same location. It's now 6/3/2020 What happened? Is it too late to draw hummers? What about next year? What can I do differently to draw hummers next year?

Fantastic information. We get them every summer here in Rhode Island and I’m going to be using as many of these plants as the soil will support. Thank you for the video.

I loved it so much that is amazing

Your video is brilliant. How can I find out if there are hummingbird in my city? I've sparrow feeders and loads of come for feed. I'd do everything possible to attract other birds. Please let me know. Thanks again for your video.

Thank you for your informative and thoughtful video! I have a lot of birds this season so far and found the part about their territorial nature quite interesting. With love from Roy, Utah 😊😉😮🙂💙

Does the hummingbird like Asiatic lily also coneflower ?

Wonderful "Charm"....

Thank you for sharing. 🙋🏻‍♀️

I used to put 4:1 ratio.. now I mix 4:2 and wow..we suddenly have 15 feeding.. happy

Where to buy this gadget please..thanks

I loved your video...FYI, the Harrier Hawk can also hover🙏🏼

Good video

Good to know. Thanks

I want to buy feeder

The hummers fight over the feeder..does that mean I need a few more?

The Ones I have Seen At My Feeder Is The One That Is All Green And The Chest Is All White. You Did Say The Male Has The Ruby Throat ?

Excellent, excellent video!!!

Need two or more feeders slows down fighting 😍

What are the seasonal months for hummingbirds?

Thank you❣️

Excellent video..thanks

Love it, fixing to go plaster my yard with feeders, lol.

Beautiful

Good info. Thanks!

what about calcium for the eggs

Wonderful thank you.

I live in Minnesota and I've never seen hummingbirds in my life. Do they live in my state?

Kasia...why do you say that sugar is horrible and will kill hummers?

Clean feeders with hot water and scrub every surface with a bottle brush and small brushes for the port holes. White vinegar can also be used to clean and always rinse well. Clean and change every 1-3 days and never going past the 3rd day. If it's hot outside or a feeder is in the sun, it should be scrubbed clean with hot water and or vinegar every day....... Do NOT use oils or sprays of any kind like he said, if you have ants an ant moat filled with water will work keeping ants away 100%.

Humming birds have made 2 nests in my large white rose bush vine.

Very informative and u are VERY handsome.

This is the third video I've watched and it's also the third water to sugar ratio I've been given. What's up with that? The first one gave one at 2:1, the second was 3:1 and now yours at 4:1. This has me very confused.

Are those feeders not often invaded by bees?
