Hummingbird Ring Feeder (Pink) - Backyard Hummingbird Feeding Experience. Made in the U.S.A.

The Hummingbird Ring is a wonderful feeder that allows for an up-close and personal experience with hummingbirds. However, if the birds do not recognize your yard as hummingbird-friendly, they will not visit your ring. Fortunately, it is easy to attract hummingbirds to your yard and help them find your Hummingbird Ring.

To attract hummingbirds, you need to provide four key elements in your yard: food, water, shelter, and nesting sites. If your yard abundantly offers these, you will soon have many hummingbirds flocking to visit.

Nectar-rich flowers are a crucial food source for hummingbirds, and those with tubular shapes suit their needle-like bills best. Planting hummingbird-attracting flowers like bee balm, salvia, petunias, columbine, and trumpet vine near your Hummingbird Ring's location will help the birds get accustomed to feeding in that area. You can even tuck a Hummingbird Ring or two into a flower pot on your patio for hummers to discover before the feeder is on your finger.

While hummingbirds obtain plenty of liquid from nectar, they still visit water sources for bathing and preening. Shallow bubblers, such as bubbling fountains, are ideal, as hummingbirds prefer to avoid deeper water. Misters are also excellent, as the birds will fly through the mist before perching to preen. Positioning water features near the feeding area will help draw hummingbirds' attention and keep them close to your Hummingbird Ring.

Between sips from your Hummingbird Ring, flowers, and water visits, hummingbirds need places to perch and rest. Shrubs, vines, and trees provide excellent perches, and hummingbirds prefer ones that offer a clear view of the surrounding area. You can also add convenient perches like clotheslines, trellises, and even hummingbird-sized swings.

The same plants that offer shelter also make ideal nesting sites for these tiny birds. Thorny shrubs are particularly favored, as they provide an extra layer of protection from predators. Planting nest-friendly plants in a quiet corner of the yard, away from the feeding and water areas, will help hummingbirds feel more at ease.

By thoroughly meeting hummingbirds' basic needs, you can easily attract these flying jewels to your yard. As they learn how safe and convenient your yard is, they will be more inclined to visit your Hummingbird Ring, allowing you to enjoy the amazing experience of hand-feeding a hummingbird.

To hand-feed hummingbirds, first remove the Hummingbird Ring's petals and fill it with fresh nectar, either store-bought or homemade. Place the ring in a visible location, such as in a small glass, shot glass, or flower pot filled with sand or dirt. You can also use our Hummingbird Trainers, available on our website. Keep the nectar fresh and the ring clean, and the hummingbirds will become more comfortable visiting it. With patience and diligence, they will eventually feed from the ring on your finger, enabling you to observe these incredible creatures up close.
