Hummingbird Ring Starter Kit - Hand Feed Hummingbirds in Your Backyard

The Hummingbird Ring offers an up-close and personal experience with these fascinating birds, but if hummingbirds don't recognize your yard as hummingbird-friendly, they won't visit the ring. Fortunately, it's easy to attract hummingbirds to your yard and guide them to your Hummingbird Ring.

To attract hummingbirds, you need to provide four key elements: food, water, shelter, and nesting sites. If your yard abundantly supplies these, you'll soon have hummingbirds flocking to visit.

Nectar-rich flowers are a primary food source for hummingbirds, and those with tubular shapes suit their long, slender bills best. Plant bee balm, salvia, petunias, columbine, and trumpet vine near your Hummingbird Ring's location to accustom the birds to feeding in that area. You can even tuck the ring into a potted nectar plant on your patio. Additional nectar feeders hung nearby will also draw hungry hummers.

While hummingbirds get ample liquid from nectar, they visit water sources to bathe and preen. Shallow bubblers, like fountains, allow these tiny birds to splash about safely. Misters are another great option, as hummingbirds will fly directly through the mist before perching to groom. Positioning water near the feeding area will keep hummingbirds close to your Hummingbird Ring.

Hummingbirds need perches to rest between sips and visits. Shrubs, vines, and trees provide excellent resting spots, as do clotheslines, trellises, and even small hummingbird swings. Placing perches near prime feeding areas will encourage the birds to linger.

Finally, the same plants that offer shelter also make ideal nesting sites. Thorny shrubs are particularly favored, as they provide extra protection. Planting nest-friendly flora in a quiet yard corner, away from high-traffic feeding zones, can make hummingbirds feel more at ease. Providing nesting materials like cotton, spider webs, moss, and lichen will further invite hummingbirds to take up residence.

By comprehensively meeting hummingbirds' basic needs, you can easily attract these vibrant creatures to your yard. As they learn your space is safe and convenient, they'll become more comfortable visiting your Hummingbird Ring, allowing you the remarkable experience of hand-feeding a hummingbird.

The Hummingbird Ring kit includes everything you need: a trainer to display the ring, three rings, three clips to position the ring, instructions, and a syringe for easy nectar filling. The lightweight trainer mounts to any window, making it simple to set up the perfect hummingbird feeding station.
