Favorite foods
In their natural environment, humming birds eat flower nectar. Some of their favorite feeding plants include the azalea, honeysuckle and petunia. Because they're so fast and tiny, they're hard to find in their natural environment. That's why humming bird feeders are a favorite among bird enthusiasts. These handy feeders are filled with the sweet stuff humming birds love. Commercially made nectar is available at most department stores or the food can be homemade. Humming bird nectar recipes are available on the internet .

Styles of feeders
Humming bird feeders come in all shapes and sizes and are made of a variety of materials including plastic and glass. Some feeders are shaped like flowers and stick into a pot. Others can be hung from a tree or placed on a window sill. Some feeders have perches for the birds to rest on which allows viewers a chance to observe the birds when they're not busily flapping their tiny wings.

Humming birds are known for preferring the color red, so most feeders have red on them. Most feeders are built with plenty of room for many birds to enjoy feeding at the same time.

Humming bird feeders make nice, unexpected gifts. People of all ages are mesmerized by these fascinating creatures. A humming bird feeder will make a bird watcher out of anyone! These special feeders are a lovely addition to any outdoor environment.
