Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
There are a few things you can do to attract hummingbirds to your house:
- Provide food: One of the most effective ways to attract hummingbirds is to provide a reliable source of food, such as a hummingbird feeder filled with nectar. You can make your own nectar by mixing four parts water with one part granulated white sugar. Boil the mixture and let it cool before filling the feeder. It’s important to clean the feeder regularly to prevent mold or bacteria from growing.
- Plant flowering plants: Hummingbirds are attracted to colorful, fragrant flowers, so planting a variety of flowering plants in your yard can help attract hummingbirds. Some popular hummingbird-friendly plants include bee balm, cardinal flower, columbine, foxglove, and trumpet vine.
- Hang shiny objects: Hummingbirds are attracted to shiny, reflective objects, so hanging things like shiny wind chimes or foil-covered CDs in your yard can help attract hummingbirds.
- Provide shelter: Hummingbirds need places to rest and shelter from the elements, so providing a covered area, such as a porch or overhang, can help attract hummingbirds to your house.
By providing food, shelter, and other resources, you can create a welcoming environment for hummingbirds and increase the chances of attracting these beautiful, fascinating birds to your home.
