Multiply hummingbird feeders attract multiple birds

Is it true that having more than one hummingbird feeder attracts more hummingbirds?

Hummingbirds are very territorial. In general, more feeders means more birds. Multiple feeders helps if you have an aggressive bird that is chasing other hummers away. There is no way he can guard all the feeders all the time. If you space your feeders apart, in the front and backyard or just out of sight of the others, you give the girls a chance to eat in peace.

Females like to take advantage of a quick meal at the feeders. They do all the nest building and family rearing alone, leaving the males to fuss over territories. Multiple feeders, spread throughout your yard is a great way to encourage more hummingbirds to visit and keep the peace in your yard.

Hummingbirds find feeders by sight so hang the feeder where they will be able to see it as they fly over. Also a new feeder may be found sooner if hung near a flower garden or hanging flower basket.

And always make sure your nectar is fresh and the correct one part white sugar to four parts water solution. In hot weather you should clean your feeder at least twice a week even if there are no hummingbirds feeding. If a hummingbird comes by to check out your new feeder and finds it filled with spoiled food, they won’t return anytime soon. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/20TmpqOgYRE
