How to attract hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are charming
little aviators that can easily be
attracted to your garden. The
following are some tips from the
Florida Nurserymen and Growers
Association for coaxing them your
way.
The best way to attract
“hummers” is to provide their
favvorite nectaring blossoms,
usually red in color. You will have
to choose your plants carefully,
however, for not all landscape
plants are suitable for nectar
seekers.
The following are recommended
for hummingbirds: coral bean, red
star hibiscus, lantana, trumpet vine,
coral honeysuckle, butterfly
milkweed, red basil, cardinal flower,
scarlet morning glory, cypress vine
and standing cypress.
It is best to plant a variety of
species and to arrange these in
several groupings. When nesting,
hummers are quite aggressive and
territorial around their food source,
so having more than one flower
garden will allow several hummers
to feed at the same lime without
conflict
“Hummingbirds, due to their
fast-paced lifestyles, must feed
every 10 to 15 minutes from dawn
to dusk,” according to Joe Schaefer,
wildlife extension specialist at the
University of Florida Institute of
Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Hummingbirds will eat more than
half their weight in food and drink
eight times their weight in water,”
he added.

Another way to attract hummers
is to provide sugar-water mixtures
in feeders. These can be made using
one part white granulated cane sugar
to four parts water (by volume).
Heat the sugar solution to help
dissolve the sugar and after it has
cooled, pour it into a red feeder. It
is not necessary to add red food
coloring - the bird will be attracted
to the red feeders.
Sugar solutions must be kept
fresh- Georgia’s hot weather can
cause bacterial infections to develop
in these solutions if they are left
out too long. This can be fatal to
the birds. Schaefer recommends that
hummingbird feeders be placed
where they won’t be in direct
sunlight.
Use sugar only. Using a sweeter
solution than recommended above,
a sugar substitute, or even honey
might be fatal. Also, it is
important that feeders be cleaned
with hot water and white vinegar,
never with soap or bleach.,
One more tip - if your feeder
seems to attract more pesky ants
than hummers, try greasing the
hanging wire with vegetable oil.
Hummingbirds are fascinating
little feathered creatures. Good luck
attracting them to your place.
