So on the whole, feeders are good. They also provide an easy way for people to connect with wildlife.
But there’s one big, big, caveat here: If your feeder is dirty, it could be harming, or even killing, the hummers that visit it, turning the feeder from a lifeline into a trap. Unless you’re prepared to regularly clean your feeder, you may be better off not having one.
Instead of a hummingbird feeder, plant native plants that they like. You won’t end up with the whole swarms of hummingbirds and will instead only see one at a time, but it’s better than making them sick.
Yeah just read the article, wonder just how many people have clue what they are doing? Just sitting it out there and then leaving it? This needs to be spread wide and far. Hell it should be mandatory information given out anytime someone buys one
