Hummingbirds, as with all birds, are very cautious. The best place for your feeder would be in the middle of a garden that is full of the flowers that hummers like, trying your best to keep the feeder up high by using a Shepherd Rod Hanger, 91" BLK SGL HANGER/HOOK. Also would be a good idea to have it secluded in a bush or small tree much like I have done. When I had my feeders out in the open I had only a few birds coming around, but when I put them in the tree like you see on my videos, well you can see and hear for yourself. The volume of birds multiplied by almost 10 times when I gave the birds the protection of the tree. I mentioned flowers, don't worry in future posts I will elaborate more on the types of flowers that really attract these birds.
