Important Note: No red dyes are used in
these products. Red dyes can harm hummingbirds. Our flame red
vessels/bottles are not made with red dyes. They are actually made with
yellow and then fired to make them red, which is why the color can vary in
the vessels. Please do Not add color, honey or artificial sweeteners to your
nectar because that can harm hummingbirds as well.
It may take a couple of weeks for a hummingbird to
start using a new feeder, especially if they have been feeding from other
feeders in the area. If they continue to feed from only one type, try
changing the location of your feeder or taking one down for a while.
Hummingbirds are creatures of habit.
Hummingbirds need flowers and insects, in addition to
nectar supplied by a hummingbird feeder. To increase your chances of
seeing hummingbirds, plant perennial and annual flowers birds are
attracted to
plant perennial and annual flowers birds are attracted to such as
honeysuckles, salvia, larkspur, trumpet vine, petunias, nasturtiums,
penstemons, fuchsias, and lilacs. Other favorites include bee balm,
columbine, Indian paintbrush, and monkey flower. It is well known that
hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers, but they also visit all other
colors. Geraniums are wonderful hosts for spider webs, the building
material of hummingbird nests.
A hummingbird's tongue is very long: an average of
twice the length of the beak. Therefore they can reach nectar up inside of
our tube feeders or all the way down to the bottom of our top feeding
vessels. Our flower feeding tubes guide their tongues to the nectar in the
vessels.
Keep your feeder very clean. A dirty feeder can cause
bacteria to grow rapidly which can cause the nectar to go bad.
Hummingbirds will reject a feeder with fermented nectar. They need to be
cleaned more often in warm weather. We recommend frequently cleaning the
glass and feeding tubs using a mixture of: 1:5 white vinegar rinse. Always
rinse your feeding tubes very well before refilling. Do not allow solution
to freeze in feeder. Store inside during winter.
To minimize dripping in tube type feeders where the
feeder is upside down: fill feeder completely with cool nectar to create a
vacuum. Only hang feeder in shade or partial shade. The cooler the feeder,
the less it will drip. Make sure that the feeder is cleaned regularly with
hot water and a bottle brush. Do not use soap as its residue may cause
your feeder to drip. Try periodically to wash using a vinegar rinse to
thoroughly clean your feeder and then rinse well with hot water. If you
still have too much dripping, place stopper assembly in very hot water to
soften the tube. You can bend it slightly to increase the angle. This will
stop dripping, but might make it more difficult for nectar to come down
the tube. Or, just use a top feeding feeder.
