How To Make Hummingbirds Happy?

Hummingbirds are the smallest birds of the 10,000 Bird Species. They fly backwards, up, down, sideways and upside down. They fly at up to 90 wing beats per second and their little heart beats up to 1200 times per second. This is why they require enormous quantities of sugar and protein, mostly provided by insects and nectar bearing flowers. Unlike any other bird they have a needle-like bill. Hummingbirds are friendly and inquisitive, easily attracted to nectar feeders and flower gardens.

Hummingbird Feeders come in a lot of different colors and styles. If there were a perfect feeder for the Hummingbird it would be as follows:

1. It should hold at least 8 to 16 ounces of nectar in a clear receptacle.
2. A red feeder is the top choice.
3. Should have multiple feeding stations and a perch at each station.
4. It should be made out of glass and/or plastic and have a flat bottom.
5. The refill opening should be wide enough for easy filling.
6. The feeder should be easy to clean and should have a hook for hanging.

Hummingbirds are extremely territorial and some are aggressive over their territory. If you have a lot of Hummingbirds in your yard, you should think about getting a second feeder and locating it a good distance from the other one. This can cut down on battles amongst the birds and be better for you to be able to observe them. If you can hang more than one feeder on your post, you should not hang a seed feeder or suet feeder on the same post as your Hummingbird Feeder. Usually Hummingbirds do not like to feed around other birds.
