There
are approximately 18 species of hummingbirds
found in North America. To those of us who live
in the eastern half of the U.S. and Canada, only
the Ruby-throated Hummingbird will
likely be seen. The other 17 species are west of
the Rockies (some range as far as Alaska). The
majority of hummingbirds are found in the warmer
climates of the Southwest. These amazing birds
vary in size from 3" to 5" in length.
They exist on nectar and insects and consume half
their weight daily. They may visit a flower or
feeder as often as every fifteen minutes. Our HummZinger® feeders
provide perches for hummingbirds to sit and eat
and allows us to catch a rare glimpse of these
beautiful creatures feeding at rest. In addition
the HummZinger® feeders
are constructed with UV stable polycarbonate, the
most durable plastic available and are dishwasher
safe for easy cleaning.
