Boiling the water ensures that the sugar fully dissolves. This creates a smooth, uniform nectar that’s easier for hummingbirds to drink and prevents any undissolved sugar crystals.
Boiling the water kills harmful bacteria, yeast, or mold that may be present. This helps ensure that the nectar is safe for hummingbirds to consume and won’t make them sick.
Choose a spot free from cats and other predators. Hanging feeders high or in open spaces ensures safety for hummingbirds while they feed.
Hummingbirds need to see the feeder easily, so avoid hiding it. A calm, open area with minimal human traffic ensures they feel safe while feeding.
Hang the feeder near a window to enjoy watching hummingbirds up close. Ensure it’s safe with decals to prevent birds from flying into the glass.
If possible, place the feeder near a birdbath or fountain. Hummingbirds love water, and the proximity encourages them to visit both spots.
