I just put my two hummingbird feeder's out on 06/15/09 when will i start to see them how long does it take for them to find the feeder's?
There is no best or worst time. Start whenever you want to. The birds can use your help in the very early spring when their natural seed sources are scarce. In general, whenever the weather is severe, birds will appreciate a reliable supplemental food source.

Okay, I know you have heard of a flower garden, vegetable garden, and rock garden, but what is a hummingbird garden? These is an actual garden designed using the types of plants and flowers that entice hummingbirds so that you can sit back and enjoy these beautiful creatures as they travel in search of nectar. This type of garden can be created by anyone where flowers can be grown. All you need to know is the types of plants to use and some basic instructions on care.

We started a few years ago to bring a hummingbird feeder with us when we camped. It is fun to see if you can attract the hummingbirds to your campsite. Make sure you take one that has some bright red on it to help attract them.

It seemed like we got more hummingbirds after I planted these, does anyone know of any other flowers besides bea balm and honeysuckle that a hummingbird would like?

For all you newbies if you use honey in your feeders you can give your hummingbirds bacterial and fungal diseases. Just stick with sugar and water.

I have always used 1 cups of sugar to 4 cups of water when I mix up my nectar for the hummingbirds. Is this too sweet and not good for the birds? I am sure I read somewhere that this was how to attract them.
