I have had little success with my two hummingbird feeders.
However, it has been a joy to have hummingbirds enjoying my several potted
Salvia! I had one large pot last year along with a few Salvia in my cut flower
bed.
This year, I planted a dozen Salvia in five pots placed on my deck.
We got a new red feeder from Audubon and humminhbirds love it. The 4
feeder tubes look like flowers. (They did not find the old one very
interesting) The feeder should be red, not the water. I have read red
food dye is not good for birds. Onward,

It is a time of year when blossoms may offer more than a feeder.
We have feeders at our CO mountain house- no fussing with cleaning, or store
bought stuff, no red dye- just sugar and water boiled and cooled. When they
are hungry, they will buzz bomb you and fight each other to get to that
Hummingbirds are very territorial. I put up a feeder last spring and had a hummingbird show up constantly until another one came along about two weeks later. At that point they would show up dart around each other for a while then take off. I put up a 2nd feeder about 20 feet from the first one
I had something hanging in my window in front of the hummingbird feeder
that scared off the birds. It was an owl shaped thing made if shiny
matetial bc I had birds flying into my window. Anything like that?

So a week ago I hung up a hummingbird feeder. I’ve seen three of the little
guys come and check it out and then fly away without drinking. So I must be
doing something wrong. I did 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. I’ve also been
changing it out so I don’t think the nectar has gone bad.
Anyone have
