What's new?
The Glass Swirl Feeder from WoodLink is similar to the Perky Pet Four Fountains, but does not have hard-to-clean bee guards. Don't worry, we still carry the Four Fountains, also!

Nectar Recipe:
Four parts warm water to one part white table sugar. Mix and cool. That's it. No dyes, no additives, no organic sugars (hummers' kidneys can't process brown sugars, so "organic" is not healthier for them.) Change every few days or sooner if cloudy.
Hi, BirdWatchers!

It's hummer season! Now that young hummingbirds are out on their own, moms are free to move about and adult males are already migrating...we get to enjoy a lot more activity at our feeders. Hummer wars are very common this time of year as they chase each other and fight over favorite perches, feeders and flower patches. Remember to change your nectar every few days in this heat so your birds will be happy and healthy!

Did you know that most Ruby-throats almost double their weight this time of year? They will burn fat off during their challenging migration back to Mexico and Belize for the winter. Occasionally, we see birds that are so chubby, they have trouble getting lift when taking off!
