Hummingbirds are extremely loyal to feeding sites. A hummingbird that feeds in your yard one year will return to that feeder the next. If you aren’t attracting as many hummers as you want follow the hints above. As the male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird is so territorial, one key is to offer lots of feeders. YourBirdOasis.com has over a dozen different types of hummingbird feeders. No matter which feeder you decide to use it is imperative that you keep the feeder clean and the nectar fresh. Hummingbirds will keep their distance from fermented nectar… wouldn’t you? Perhaps hummers understand that they need a clear head for their acrobatic flying. Fermented nectar can support the growth of deadly molds. If a hummingbird gets a taste of fermented nectar from your feeder, it will look elsewhere for a drink and remain suspicious of the offending feeder for a long time.
