Its Hummingbird time in Wisconsin! We have everything you need to attract these fun tiny birds to your yard including the red tubular flowers for planting! Tips for Attracting Hummingbirds: 1. Place feeders in a sheltered area near flowers that are attractive to hummingbirds, such as red tubular flowers. 2. Reduce nectar spoilage by placing feeders in a shady area. 3. Make sure to fill feeders with fresh nectar solution. Store any extra nectar in your refrigerator to maintain freshness. 4. Hummingbirds are very entertaining but can be competitive around feeders. To reduce competition you can put up several feeders widely spaced and preferably in view of one another. 5. To eliminate the growth of harmful molds and bacteria, make it a habit to clean your feeder every 3 days. Discard the old nectar solution and rinse the feeder with hot water and vinegar. Use a bottle brush for hard to reach areas. Do not use soap or detergent, as its residue may cause your feeder to drip.
