You need to help hummingbirds find you. This might seem simple, but you would be amazed how many people don’t think of this when they decide to hang a feeder. It has to be seen by hummingbirds!
That means a hummingbird flying high over your property looking for a food source has to have a clear view of your feeder. If you hang it under the eave of your house where it can only be seen from one direction, or if you put it under a tree or under an umbrella or a patio, it’s going to take a long time for a bird to find it.
Hummingbirds will find your feeder faster if it can be seen by a hummingbird flying high over your property. Use your umbrella (GDY 7.5Ft Red Patio Umbrella – paid link) or eave to hang red flags or red ribbons (KINGLAKE Red Ribbon – paid link) to entice a hummingbird to come down and investigate further!
Red to a hummingbird means flowers and that means food.
