    Feeders are okay, but the real joy comes from watching hummingbirds feed at flowers. In my experience they’re big fans of fuchsias, and I’ve also seen them at fireweed.

    Edit: dropped an h, misplaced an s

    Hummingbirds ignored my feeder this year. Ants ended up finding a path to it, so I took it down. :-/

      We found that ant moats like these are great for keeping the ants off our Hummingbird feeders. You can find how-to’s online for DIY versions too.

        I set one up with my feeder and I saw a hummingbird on it yesterday. Thanks for the advice!

      my guess is just that they know a lot about birds so they know why the hummingbirds aren’t interested. Here’s their website https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/feeding-hummingbirds/

      Another great way to feed these little gems…

      I hope I find someone who talks to me the way this organization talks about hummingbirds 🥺

        Only your mom, grandma or auntie will ever call you a little gem.

        If they haven’t, I’ll just say now you’re a lil’ gem.

    I only have 2 because they live in the nearby tree and attack any other hummingbirds that try to come for a drink.
