We have ruby throated hummingbirds that visit us every year. They usually arrive mid May and stay until mid Sepember. They are the highlight of my year. I enjoy watching them. I feed them with sugar water and I change the water every two days or every day in the extreme heat. I clean my feeders thoroughly. I think this year I will put two feeders out but spaced apart so I can attract more birds.i also plant flowers that attract the birds and have colorful patio planters that they love. I make sure the feeder is protected and as safe as possible for the birds. It is a commitment but I just love the hummers!
