12 Tips: Help Hummingbirds Survive Migration

Hummingbird migration is a long distance journey that happens twice a year, and it is not easy. For hummingbirds, migration is an intense activity full of a lot of danger, especially when some cross the Gulf of Mexico.

This video discusses 12 ways we can help North American Hummingbirds survive migration including keeping garage doors shut, keeping nectar feeders clean, turning your backyard into a stopover site, and so so much more.

SODA BOTTLE HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER + ANT MOAT BUNDLE:
We've been using these hummingbird feeders that allow you to recycle your 16.9 ounce soda bottles. NOTE: you need to remove the ring off your bottle first. It works for coke bottles, but says it works best with pepsi bottles.
This bundle includes the feeder and an ant moat to protect your feeders. It helps with easily changing out nectar for hummingbirds, and is a sustainable way to feed.
