Helping Hummingbirds
  • Create a hummingbird haven! By providing the right nectar sources and habitat, you can help make up for the loss of hummingbird habitat, and increase their chances of survival. Encourage others in your community to do the same.
  • Clean feeders regularly to avoid the spread of bacteria and infections.

  • Put a bell on your cat’s collar so birds can hear it coming near.

  • Don't use chemical pesticides. Encourage others to avoid them.
