Ditto what Bob said ... except the bright colors are part of what
attracts the hummers... they think they are flowers .. so that is a
predicament.
Serious hummingbird photographers get liquid hummingbird food
(basically sugary water) for feeders and use an eyedropper to load it
into real flowers. Attracts the birds to a specific flower (at which
your tripod-mounted camera and long lens are aimed) and looks much
nicer than those ugly feeders.
Just sitting down with a big lens and trying to track hummingbirds as
they choose their own flowers is a good way to burn off a thousand
shots or so while only getting one or two keepers. Mind you, every
once in a while you do get a good one:
