HUMMINGINGBIRD PLANTS

Hummingbirds are attracted to tubular flowers with lots of nectar.  Arrange your plants so the beds are filled with  clusters of several species of nectar plants for them.    Hummingbirds cannot survive on nectar alone.  They need tiny insects, spiders and other invertebrates as a source of protein.  When you are tempted to grab the pesticides, remember that pesticides not only kill  bugs, they will also kill the birds.  Having a diversely planted, pesticide free-garden will ensure that you have plenty for them to eat.  
Add a bird bath, fountain or moving water, as the sound also attracts them.  Add woody vegetation to give them protection and a place to nest.  Spider webs, plant fibers are used to build these nests in the fork of dense shrubs and trees.
