Hummingbird Ring Feeder (Red) - Hand Feed Hummingbirds in Your Backyard

Attract Hummingbirds to Your Yard – And to Your Hummingbird Ring!

To get hummingbirds to visit your Hummingbird Ring, you'll first need to make your yard appealing to these tiny birds. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to create a hummingbird-friendly environment that will have them flocking to your space.

What Hummingbirds Need Hummingbirds are drawn to four key elements in any yard: food, water, shelter, and nesting sites. By providing all of these in abundance, you'll soon have plenty of hummingbirds coming around to enjoy your Hummingbird Ring.

Food Nectar-rich flowers are essential for hummingbirds, with tubular blooms being especially well-suited to their long, slender bills. Plants like bee balm, salvia, petunias, columbine, and trumpet vine are great options. Positioning these hummingbird-attracting flowers near your Hummingbird Ring's location, such as on a deck or patio, will help familiarize the birds with feeding in that area. You can even tuck a Hummingbird Ring right into a potted nectar plant to get the birds used to it before you start hand-feeding.

Water While hummingbirds obtain plenty of liquid from the nectar they consume, they still seek out water sources for bathing and preening. Shallow bubblers like fountains or misters work well, as the moving water and sparkling droplets help draw the birds in. Placing a water feature near your Hummingbird Ring's location will keep the hummingbirds close by.

Shelter Between feeding, bathing, and resting, hummingbirds need places to perch. Shrubs, vines, and trees make excellent perches, as the birds prefer spots that offer a good vantage point. You can also provide convenient perches like clotheslines, trellises, or even tiny hummingbird swings near your feeding area.

Nesting Sites The same greenery that provides shelter also makes ideal nesting sites for hummingbirds. Thorny bushes are particularly favored, as they offer an extra layer of protection. To encourage nesting, plant nest-friendly vegetation in a quiet corner of your yard, and provide nesting materials like cotton, spider webs, moss, and lichen.

By catering to these hummingbird necessities, you'll soon have these jewel-toned birds flocking to your yard – and more importantly, to your Hummingbird Ring. As the hummingbirds become accustomed to your setup, they'll be more comfortable visiting the ring, allowing you to enjoy the amazing experience of hand-feeding them.

Hand Feeding Instructions: - Remove petals and fill the Hummingbird Ring with fresh nectar, either store-bought or homemade. Red dye is unnecessary and should be avoided. - Place the ring in a visible location, such as in a small glass or flower pot filled with sand/dirt. Our Hummingbird Trainers are also an option. - Position the ring near other nectar feeders or hummingbird-friendly flowers. - Keep the nectar fresh and the ring clean, changing it every 3-5 days (more often in warm weather). - Once the hummingbirds start using the ring, continue maintaining it and let them grow comfortable with it. - Gradually introduce yourself by sitting near the ring while the birds feed, then progress to hand-feeding. - With patience and consistency, you'll be able to hand-feed these amazing creatures up close.

Enjoy this unique experience! The Hummingbird Ring is made in the USA, BPA-free, fade-resistant, and top-rack dishwasher safe, available in seven brilliant colors.
