Tips for feeding hummingbirds
Feeding every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers per day, hummingbirds need a lot of nutrients to maintain their momentum, according to the National Audubon Society.
With little wings that flap at up to 90 beats per second for thousands of miles, migration is a workout, which is why it is important to have feeders with the nutrients ready for when they arrive, according to the Audubon.
To help these birds and boost your chances of spotting them, fill a feeder or garden with nectar and nectar-rich plants.
If you’re thinking of substituting nectar with honey in a bird feeder, don't, the Audubon says. Honey can promote dangerous fungal growth.
When hummingbirds arrive in your state, here're four more key guidelines on how to interact with them.
