Hummingbird Feeders In Your Backyard
By Rodger G Allenby
Hummingbird feeders can be placed in strategic, quiet locations
of the backyard and you will see hummingbirds swoop down and take
a quick drink from the sweet liquid present in the feeder.
If you notice hummingbirds in your area and you want to observe
them in your yard, you can place hummingbird feeders around strategic
locations in your backyard and you will see them come and feed
from the sweet liquid on the feeders.
In my yard, it all seems so quiet, until you see the birds swooping
towards the feeder. They seem to be loving the sweet liquid as
they linger around the hummingbird feeders for a long time.
My mum has a number of hummingbird feeders in her backyard. She
gave me the inspiration to place hummingbird feeders in my backyard.
There are many things that bring my mother peace, and a few of
these things are her hummingbird feeders. She has a few of them
hanging in various places in her yard, and she can spend quite
a bit of time watching the hummingbirds coming in for a quick
drink.
There are only a few different hummingbirds in her area, and
she and my grandfather often joke that they are fighting over
the same birds. They are quite fun to watch, and I have even been
able to take a few pictures of them while they were feeding.
My grandfather has his hummingbird feeders hanging near his plants,
and he and my grandmother often sit and watch them out the big
picture window they have.
My mom does not have this luxury, so she has put one of her hummingbird
feeders right next to her kitchen window. This is the best place
because she spends a lot of her time in her kitchen.
She can see them when they fly up for a drink, and she can then
watch them without spooking them. I’m not sure if they can see
her or not, but she can walk right up to the window and they don’t
budge. They didn’t spook when I took photos either.
The funniest part about the hummingbird feeders has to do with
one of my mom’s cats. She has a large, orange cat named Otis who
you might confuse with Garfield.
He is a huge loveable guy, but still has his natural hunting
instincts. He will sit on her sink and watch the hummingbird feeders
for hours on end.
Hummingbird Feeders Are Different
If you want to have bird feeders in your yard, but you aren’t
sure what you want, you might want to consider having hummingbird
feeders instead.
They are different from other feeders because they fill up with
a sweet liquid rather than bird seed. Hummingbirds usually swoop
in, take a quick drink, and then fly off, but I have seen some
hover around the feeders for quite a long time.
We don’t know where they nest or where they go when they fly
away, but we can always count on seeing them almost every day.
I have put a hummingbird feeder under my trees in my backyard.
I have noticed there are a number of hummingbirds in my trees
and I can see them swooping towards the feeder, to get some of
the sweet liquid and they are off again.
They seem to come one at a time. It looks to me that if one comes
first, then the others seems to come soon after. One at a time.
There are times when I am sitting and relaxing on one side of
my backyard, away from the trees and I can see the hummingbirds
swooping down to the hummingbird feeder.
Its so relaxing, just to watch the hummingbirds in the quite
of the day.
