You might accidentally be killing hummingbirds

Summary

Nutrition label

78% Informative

In the wild, hummingbirds get their sugar from wildflowers, such as honeysuckle, lilies, and bee balm .

But following the destruction of native prairies, forests, and wetlands, these birds have had a more difficult time finding their glucose fix.

Warming linked to climate change is also making flowers bloom earlier and changing the range of some hummingbird species, making it even harder for the birds to feed.

The National Audubon Society has a tool that tells you what to plant in your region to attract hummingbirds.

Don’t want to bother with cleaning? Or want to do more for your local hummers? Consider planting native hummingbird -friendly wildflowers.

If you do come across an injured bird, contact a local wildlife rehabber.
