Hummingbird Pole Lots of people put out hummingbird feeders that contain sugar water in order to attract hummingbirds, and hummingbirds are indeed attracted to these feeders. Forgo feeders and simply plant the types of flowers that attract hummingbirds and provide them with nectar. Hummingbirds migrate on the backs of geese. Hummingbirds suck nectar. They place their open bill into the feeder and lick up the nectar at a high rate of speed.
Hummingbirds eat from only red flowers.
Yes, hummingbirds are attracted to red, but you need only to observe them for a short period to realize that they will eat from any color of nectar-producing flowers. Hummingbirds, like helicopters, can hover. They can also move ahead, sideways, or backward at will. A ruby-throated hummingbird, weighing about one tenth of an ounce, can travel 600 miles in migration. Hummingbirds not only sip nectar, but also eat tiny insects and spiders.
