Choose vibrant, tubular flowers like honeysuckle, fuchsia, and bee balm. These flowers are rich in nectar, making them irresistible to hummingbirds.
Fill hummingbird feeders with a sugar-water solution (4 parts water to 1 part sugar). Change the solution regularly to keep it fresh and safe for the birds.
Hummingbirds primarily feed on nectar from flowers, but they also consume small insects for protein, making their diet a perfect balance of energy and nutrients.
With the ability to fly forwards, backwards, sideways, and even hover mid-air, hummingbirds are unmatched when it comes to flight control.
Their fast wing movements are powered by a rapid heartbeat, reaching up to 1,260 beats per minute during intense activity.
Add shallow birdbaths or small water features. Hummingbirds enjoy bathing and drinking from small, moving water sources.
Peanut butter contains nutrients like niacin and antioxidants that promote brain health, enhancing memory and cognitive function over time.
