Amazing Hummingbirds, Have You Seen Them?

Who are these little birds who can fly in all directions, even upside down and backward? They are incredible little creatures that can steal your heart in a second. Hummingbirds buzz and hum their way thru our lives and when we take time to notice them, they leave their very own impression on us.
Hummingbirds are friendly and some can be fed by hand. They are easily attracted to your yard by flower beds or nectar feeders. They do better with a feeder with several feeding stations. This is because they can be very territorial and may get aggressive if other birds invade their territory. If you hang more than one feeder on your feeder pole, you should not hang a seed feeder or suet feeder beside a Hummingbird Feeder as some Hummingbirds do not like to feed beside other birds.
Hummingbird Feeders should be cleaned every week or no more than two. Try to buy a feeder easy to clean and make your own nectar to save expense. The birds will love the nectar you make just as much as the commerial type. Make sure the feeder has a opening large enough to fill easily. Keep any leftover nectar refrigerated.
This is just a little about Hummingbirds, there is a lot more to learn. Now I ask you, Have You Seen Them? If you have not, you are missing out on one of lifes' many pleasures. Start your Hummingbird experience today.
