Great video! I have hummingbird feeders in my yard along with many plants hummingbirds love, planted in various colored pots around my yard and patio. I have a lot of tall pines and oak trees as well as a few fruit trees that they fly into to eat fruit flies and gnats. I also have a couple of small fountains that drizzle water that they bathe in every day! I agree! Brightly colored tubular shaped flowers, hummingbird feeders, and shallow fountains along with trees for them to perch in will bring loads of hummingbirds to your yard!🌺🪴🌸🌿⛲️🌳 ❤

To reduce the black fungus. After washing feeder rinse with plain white vinegar. Then rinse off the vinegar.

I saw a Ruby Throated Hummingbird feed off of some Hosta flowers last year in my yard. And Bee Balm too!

[@jolenebauser408]

I get Ruby throated hummingbirds every year. Last year I had a new one that I didn’t recognize. It was a cream color and had some black on the back and on the head. They were little meanies!!

[@malolm]

Im praying that a ruby throated comes to one of my flowers for the birding challenge in April, Thanks for the tips guys! Great Upload!

[@Salmiyaguy1]

What's the birding challenge?

[@malolm]

@@Salmiyaguy1 The birding challenge is called Birding Bingo, theirs a whole video about it but its bingo for birders, you get drawn into a raffle if you get a bingo on the card, hope this helps!

Number#6 Tie a few foot long strips of Pink florescent surveying tape/ribbon( from your local hardware store)from some trees limbs. Birds have keen sence of sight and that will help catch their eye as they are passing from a distance and prompt them to investigate, attract them to your yard and help find your feeder.

I have an arbor with honeysuckle vines which started blooming like crazy in recent weeks. I have seen a couple hummingbirds feeding from it this week. They are not so commonly seen in my neighborhood in central Ohio, so I was highly amused to see them.

[@jmarylastone]

can bees/wasps/ants and hummingbirds "get along"?? - would love to see you do a video on it - sometimes it scares me when I see a lot of bees/wasps/ants around and sometimes inside my hummingbird feeders

[@MrTmiket0007]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🐦

[@kevinreichenbach5326]

planted a trumpter vine last year. Hoping to have flowers and photos to pass along this summer.

[@Salmiyaguy1]

Our trumpet vine has yet to bloom. This year it will be 5 years since it's planted. We hope it blooms this year. Geesh its' taking forever.

[@susanm7354]

The hummingbirds love my trumpet vines. Over the years they’ve spread. I’m in the middle of building a separate hummingbird/butterfly garden. I’m doing ground prep. I have the plants in pots. Won’t plant in ground until fall.

[@BeautyBeatdown]

Thanks for all the tips! Still trying to get them to my yard XD

[@BackyardBertha]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing your expert tips for attracting these gems of the wild! Have your hummers started to migrate? We are missing their little voices...

[@msdsez]

I've probably mentioned this before but if you can overcome the fear of a bumble bee looking for nectar and hold still enough, they'll lick the wax out of your ears. It's been since the seventies since I allowed that personally but remember that it tickles.

[@shineon651]

Ok. That’s hilarious! 😂 Definitely not volunteering for that one. 👍♥️

[@jeffharper7579]

I work at a small stone quarry and sometimes when we are down I spray the front end loader down and sometimes a hummingbird will fly through the mist and drink from the spray😊

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Adorable

[@jeffharper7579]

I live in a woods in Eastern TN, I put bird seed out in 7 spots and my cats and I had to make a feeding trough for a 4 legged "bird" I told my fur kids to call him " uncle buck" , most nights he shows up only 40 feet from my camper and I talk to him he just looks at me and keeps eating, some nights the cats smell him and he smells them😊 they all get along. I took a plastic garbage can lid painted white and put it just in the ground as a bird bath .

When to put humming bird feeder out in the South (Louisiana)

[@BadgerlandBirding]

If you want to get spring migrants, February is a good time, but Louisiana also hosts winter hummingbirds so you could actually keep one up year round.

[@AlexanderMcArthy]

Hi, how do we attract them to our front yard?

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Same tips but in the front

[@AlexanderMcArthy]

@@BadgerlandBirding ahh that makes sense, thanks!

[@trudysirkis9043]

Love this!

[@jeannepeacock8598]

It’s mid June in Cleveland and I can’t get any hummingbirds 🥴

[@EmeraldPawYT]

I live in NE Ohio and I’ve noticed that I stop seeing hummingbirds around June to mid-late July. Then I sporadically see them through august & less in September. They must just all be passing through. Each year, I add more for them, hoping to get them to stick around!

[@pauraque]

One time I snagged a rare RUHU off a *neighbor's* feeders #nopainbutgain

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Like you caught it and stole it and took it home?

[@pauraque]

@@BadgerlandBirding Yes. Then I bred it in captivity and now I have a population of them in my kitchen. We share coffee every morning, then they really start zooming around the house.

[@Aurabora54321]

I thought that sugar was a poor substitute for flowers, and that the birds are healthier with nectar.

Bonjour, Hélène ! Merci pour votre commentaire. Je n'ai pas configuré les sous-titres français pour la vidéo. Utilisez-vous une autre application pour le traduire ? En anglais c'est la bonne formule
