The Hummingbird Ring: Attracting Hummingbirds to Your Yard and Experiencing Hand-Feeding

Attracting hummingbirds to your yard is essential for enjoying the Hummingbird Ring, a great feeder that offers a close and personal encounter with these tiny, fascinating birds. To ensure hummingbirds visit your yard and find the Hummingbird Ring, it's crucial to cater to their basic needs – food, water, shelter, and nesting sites.

Food is a primary draw for hummingbirds, and nectar-rich flowers with tubular shapes are ideal for their long, needle-like bills. Plants like bee balm, salvia, petunias, columbine, and trumpet vine are excellent choices. Position these flowers near your patio, deck, or seating area where you'll use the Hummingbird Ring to encourage the birds to get accustomed to feeding in that vicinity. You can even tuck a Hummingbird Ring or two into a flower pot on a patio table or hang pots from a gazebo or arbor to help hummers become familiar with the feeder before using it on your finger.

In addition to nectar-rich blooms, hummingbirds require a reliable water source for bathing and preening. Shallow bubblers, such as bubbling fountains, or misters that create a fine spray, are perfect as the birds prefer shallow, moving water. Positioning the water source near your Hummingbird Ring feeding area will help keep the hummingbirds close by.

Shelter, in the form of shrubs, vines, and trees, provides essential perching spots for hummingbirds to rest between feeding sessions and keep an eye out for predators. Clotheslines, trellises, and arbors can also serve as convenient perches. Planting nest-friendly plants in a quiet corner of the yard can encourage hummingbirds to take up residence, as these tiny birds prefer a more secluded nesting site.

By comprehensively meeting the hummingbirds' basic needs, you can create a yard that is irresistible to these flying jewels. As the birds become accustomed to the safety and convenience of your yard, they will be more inclined to visit your Hummingbird Ring, allowing you to experience the thrill of hand-feeding these remarkable creatures.

To use the Hummingbird Ring, remove the petals, fill it with fresh nectar (either homemade or store-bought), and place it in a visible location near other nectar feeders or hummingbird-friendly flowers. The Hummingbird Ring can be secured in a small glass, shot glass, or flower pot filled with sand or dirt, or you can use one of the brand's Hummingbird Trainers, available on their website.

Maintaining the Hummingbird Ring is essential – keep the nectar fresh and the feeder clean, changing the nectar every 3-5 days, or more often in warmer weather. As the hummingbirds become accustomed to the Hummingbird Ring, you can gradually introduce yourself by sitting nearby while they feed, eventually working up to hand-feeding them directly from the ring.

With patience and diligence, you can create a hummingbird-friendly yard and enjoy the incredible experience of hand-feeding these amazing birds using the Hummingbird Ring.
