Hummingbird Favorites

A quick way to attract hummingbirds is to put out a feeder.  Do not use food dye in the feeder as this can be very harmful to the bird.  You can now buy coloured feeders, but hummingbirds will learn to come to a clear feeder.  Be sure to change your feeder often, as in hot weather the solution will quickly go bad, ie. ferment.
Hummingbirds like tubular flowers but will also seek out cup-shaped or open circular blooms like the Delphinium and Hollyhock.  Bright colours -- especially red -- are always a favorite.
