Hummingbird Garden

Lots of Hummingbirds

16 years ago

We have been feeding hummingbirds for years and have always had 6 or 7 and on a good year 10 or so at one time, in the last few weeks we have been overtaken by hummingbirds, at times there are as many as 20 or 30 feeding at our 3 feeders, was wondering if anyone could explain the massive increase in birds. thanks in advance

Can u say "add a feeder" . When you get that many or more[congrats by the way] more could feed. Do your feeders have perches, nice to give them a rest.
