Learning to attract hummingbirds is not difficult. Our goal is to help create new places for hummingbirds to thrive. We hope that you will plant them and lots of hummingbirds will visit your garden. Hummingbirds can beat their wings over 200 times a second, but in normal flight most hummingbirds do about 50 beats per second. The hummingbird heart rate is over 1,200 beats per minute.
Hummingbirds can consume two thirds of their body's weight every day.
Never use honey or food coloring in your hummingbird feeders. You can feed hummingbirds a mix of sugar and water. Mix it 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Hummingbirds also eat fruit flies and other small flying insects.
