Hummingbirds-- Does Savannah or them??

14 years ago

Good Morning all. I live in Southern Tennessee and my sister lives in Savannah GA. I am sitting on my front porch right now with at least 30 hummingbirds fighting over 4 feeders. They spend each summer with us. I gave my sister a feeder because she wants to attract them to her house. no luck :(-- Her MNL told her Savannah does not have hummingbirds this time of year. She lives near the Marsh and has 3 large dogs which come in and out of the house. Is this problem??

Thank you in advance!

They may not, it may be too coastal and the area may not have enough nectar plants to attract hummers. She can try to keep the feeders up to see if it does attract some. I am more inland Georgia and we have them.

I doubt the dogs are a deterrent. I have cats and the hummers pay them no mind.
