Hummingbirds are a favorite with many bird watchers. And it s easy to see why with their tiny size, aerial acrobatics, and friendliness. And, anyone can enjoy them in their own backyard by providing the most basic necessities. The first thing you can do to entice them into stopping for a visit is to plant some hummer friendly trees and flowers.
Some good choices are plants that are colorful and rich in nectar.
My favorites are Azaleas and the Mimosa tree. Both have brilliantly colored blooms and hummingbirds love them. For a faster growing choice, I like the Morning Glory vine. It can cover a trellis in no time and give you a fountain of color in the mornings. They need places to perch, since they use so much energy gathering food.
