Hummingbirds are very acrobatic. They can fly forward, sideways, upside-down and backwards. They can also hover in mid-air.

Hummers avoid feeders with old or spoiled nectar. Commercial nectars typically last longer than homemade nectar and should be changed about once a week. If you make your own nectar, be sure to change it every other day to keep the raw sugar from fermenting. Following this simple schedule will soon have your yard humming with the Jewels of Spring.
