How hi should a humming bird feeder be? - Birds

They come just after the spring flowers and stay with us until their food sources dry up. This is nature's signal to them that it is time to move on to a different climate., (South for the winter.)
They go to the tree tops and to the feeders of compassionate friends until cooler nights, shorter days and the last fall flowers signal it is time to go. (The birds that stop by your feeders on these evenings, probably are clutching little suitcases with their tiny feet.) Time to care enough to let them go be with their friends

Hello, Mary -

You can find a recipe for making nectar to put in a humming bird feeder on the Hummingbird Society web site:
https://www.hummingbirdsociety.org/feeding-hummingbirds/

The information states "No red food coloring!"

Best wishes.

RSPB What that Bird

The overwhelming recommendation in the industry for making hummingbird nectar is a solution of 4 parts water to 1 partwhite table sugar (sucrose).

Backyard birds are birds who visit your backyard. Which birds visit your backyard depends on where you live, the environment, and what foods may be available. Some birds will eat from feeders while, others only eat from the ground or from fruit/flower trees/bushes.

Several years ago, I created a wild bird garden for my mother in S. Florida. I have 20+ feeders, 3 water fountains, and a few trees/plants including, mango tree, hibiscus, berries, and more. We are visited daily by dozens of Monk parakeets aka Quaker Parrots, Blue Crown Parrots, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Doves, Cardinals, and more!

I can answer most questions about backyard birding (i.e.; foods, types of birds) for anyone interested in this hobby!

I feed them till they don't come around any more. Usually in the late fall. I live in southern Ontario Canada. Mine quit showing up when my red Cana Lilies died after first frost.

If they don't migrate to florida , they remember where they have fed before and will return thru out the year...

My birdloves eating from his suet bird feeder. Here is a picture similar to the onethat I bought

they will migrate when it is time no matter if you feed them or not we have the same birds come back every year
