Attract Hummingbirds to Your Garden

These amazing little birds will love visiting your garden if you hang a feeder for them and have bright flowers, especially red and orange.

Facts About Hummingbirds

-they are known for their rapid flight; their strong wing beat is so rapid that it produces a hum, which accounts for their name.

-they like flowers that are bright and that open during the day.

-they have unusually large hearts that make about 300 beats per minute when the bird is at rest and about 500-1200 beats per minute when the bird is active.

-they are the only birds known to fly backwards.

-most hummingbird's feet and legs are so small that they cannot walk or even hop; hummingbirds mostly use their legs and feet for perching, the toes and claws are very long

A great feeder. Never any problems. It's not hard to keep clean unless you let the mixture go rancid. Buy bottle brushes when you get this or you'll struggle to clean it, if the mixture goes bad. Our birds will go through this in 1 week!

Beautiful tiny birds, which resemble some odd species of insect, arrived at my window and flapped their wings midair. They checked out the feeder and left, but returned quickly. I was hoping my recipe wasn't too sweet, but after the first tasting, I got lots of rave reviews of my cooking and lots of time watching them. They used the ledge that is detachable, so I'm glad I didn't remove it. They arrive, wave hello, eat, and wave goodbye. Such a thrill for such a small thing! Size of feeder is perfect. I like the glass much better than the plastic in the stores. Price from Amazon best I could find.

They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12?90 times per second

Hummingbirds are birds that comprise the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5?13 cm (3?5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12?90 times per second (depending on the species). They are also the only group of birds able to fly backwards.Ridgely, Robert S.; and Paul G. Greenfield. The Birds of Ecuador, volume 2, Field Guide, Cornell University Press, 2001 Their English name derives from the characteristic hum made by their rapid wing beats. They can fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h, 34 mi/h).Clark and Dudley (2009). "Flight costs of long, sexually selected tails in hummingbirds".
