Hummingbirds are very beautiful birds that can be attracted to your yard. In the article we will tell you how to do it.

Grow specific plants

Some plants are especially attractive to small birds.

For example: daylily. The flower has a tubular shape, which facilitates the access of hummingbirds to nectar.

In addition, planting sage, lanthanum and columbine is suitable for attracting hummingbirds.

Set the nectar feed

You can attract hummingbirds to your garden with nectar feeders.

To make nectar, dissolve 1/4 cup sugar in 1 cup boiling water.

Then let the sugar water cool down.

Make sure that the nectar you have prepared does not deteriorate, and replace it with fresh one on time.

Provide a source of water

In addition to a bird feeder and flowers, provide access to clean water for the birds.

You can make a small bath with clean water.

Plant red flowers

Hummingbirds are able to distinguish between red and yellow.

For example, you can plant honeysuckle. This plant grows quickly and prefers direct sunlight.
