Clean feeders every 3-4 days to prevent mold growth. Use a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water for thorough cleaning.
Inspect feeders regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any cracked parts to ensure the feeder remains safe for hummingbirds.
Place feeders in shaded areas to prevent nectar from spoiling quickly in the sun. Hummingbirds prefer fresh nectar for optimal health.
Avoid using soap or bleach when cleaning feeders as residue can be harmful to hummingbirds. Stick to vinegar and water for safe cleaning.
During peak season, refill feeders every 2-3 days to ensure a fresh and adequate food supply for visiting hummingbirds. Keep an eye on nectar levels.
Provide multiple feeding stations to accommodate more hummingbirds. Spread out feeders to reduce competition and allow all birds to feed comfortably.
