What is faster than a rifle bullet, small in size but still aggressive enough to attack and drive away predators as large as hawks and crows and dinner "to eat the fly, never down? OK, maybe not so fast like a bullet, but 30 miles per hour is damn impressive. Yes, my friends, is the beautiful ruby throat hummingbird, and came a garden near you.
While the central part of the United States for the eastern shore ofContinent, ruby-throated hummingbirds can make their appearance. Fortunately for us, just the bread in the eastern United States, making it the only one who could see in your garden of paradise. With iridescent wings and bright green back, can not be mistaken for other species of birds. The gorge of red metal distinguishes male from female. It is of course the male has red throat. So how to attract these beauties to your Eden? They love flowersBeds!
The clip is drop-hummingbird nectar. With his tongue brush finished out of the bill extruded tubes, can be found in your garden in search of delicious desserts. They also consume small insects and spiders, so they are a natural complement for insect control. Hummingbirds have an eye for color, so you might consider planting a lot of pink, red or orange flowers. The inclusion of tubular flowers in the garden, like Red Horse Chestnut, scarlet sage, trumpetHoneysuckle, wild red Columbine or petunias, to name a few, we offer the preferred means of delivery much nectar in their diet. But what to do when you are in all open areas suitable for planting in your garden so excited wish?
Hummingbird feeder is eager to dine in a bright, with sugar water. Through the use of investors, have the advantage of attracting these dinners exactly where you want them. The dinner, consisting of aSolution of one (1) one part sugar, add four (4) parts water (cooked) should be sufficient. I found that in summer, is a mixture of slightly thinner proceeds to find the light of all other sources of nectar. And believe it or not, hummingbirds are not the only creatures who enjoy this drink. If you have a place to perch, you can see, sparrows, finches, nuthatches, orioles, or lunch at home. How cool is that? Well, this water and sugar will attract ants,Bees, wasps and flies. Oh no, what to do, what to do?
For the temporary control of this situation, try a good spray hose or a sprinkler system on the power supply. Insects'll care not, and are discouraged from water. Also this will wash away any sugar solution which may have dripped on the outside feeder that attracts unwanted guests. Here's another advantage. Hummingbirds just love to flutter and flit in and out the spray.
Here is a very important thingRemember: Liquid Feeder a bit special 'attention. Remember that all liquid media favors the growth of bacteria, then you need to clean the feeder thoroughly before refilling them. I use a little 'hot water with vinegar to prevent mold established discouraged. With a bottle brush, scrub the inside of supply and then rinse thoroughly before refilling. Do this all four (4) to five (5) days to ensure a healthy dining experience for thoseBirds.
Now sit down. Relax! Watch the garden alive. Enjoy your dinner Ruby-throat. Ahhhh! And nature, and that is all your creation.
