Keep your feeder in tip-top shape.
It doesn't take much to attract hummingbirds to your garden—a brightly colored feeder filled with a simple do-it-yourself nectar usually does the trick. But hummingbirds aren't the only animals that like it sweet. Sometimes these sugar-filled feeders can lure insects, larger birds, or on rare occasions, bears to your backyard.
Don't worry, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep your feeders squeaky clean and help prevent surprise guests from overstaying their welcome. | | | | |
