A Hummingbird Feeder… Not Another Tie!
Not Another Tie? This Father’s Day, why not give a relaxing gift he’ll use and love? One that gives back to nature and provides enjoyment too. Of all wild bird feeders, a hummingbird feeder is the least expensive to keep filled, and one of the most entertaining to watch. You can make your own nectar using 1 cup of white table sugar to 4 cups of water…that simple!
These days, hummingbird feeders resemble little works of art in vibrant hues of hand blown glass and ceramics. There are some very high quality feeders that will last for years of use and enjoyment, without the high price tag.If dad enjoys backyard birding, a hummingbird feeder makes the perfect gift!

Use a Hummingbird Feeder with Perches
Hummingbird feeders have come a long way since the basic red plastic models. These days manys resemble little works of art crafted in beautiful hues of hand blown glass. They are still made in either traditional tube or basin models, some with or without perches.
A hummingbird feeder with perches allows the tiny bird to rest while eating, thus conserving calories. Both designs work well, but a feeder with multiple ports will draw more birds, allowing 3 or 4 hummers to eat at once. Male hummingbirds can be very territorial, and tend to fuss or fight over a single feeder sometimes. Since the nectar is fairly inexpensive, and you can easily make your own, it’s a good idea to have another hummingbird feeder in your yard, in hidden view of the first one.
