Hummingbirds are beautiful!

Have you ever seen a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird? I have and I love 'em! I have a Hummingbird feeder hanging up on a Maple Tree in my backyard and it attracts Hummingbirds the day I fill it with Sugar Water! You see, Hummingbirds are different then say Hawks,Orioles,Warblers,Finches,Sparrows,and birds like that. Hummingbirds are almost always flapping their little wings. If they don't their hearts stop beating and they would die.Their tiny little hearts beat 250 times resting and 1,200 times while they  eat per minute! Hummingbirds constantly drink the nectar from flowers so they can "fuel up."   They have to eat very often in order to live. Hummingbirds, although their small,make a great journey from the very north of the U.S.A. all the way down to Mexico when winter starts to arrive and some make it there and others die. Many stops are needed to fuel up and so, many flowers or feeders are needed. Sometimes, people use Red Dyes or Store Bought liquid for these birds. But the Red Dye is not necessary for the Sugar Water. And the really bad part about it is this: "It kills the Hummers." So if you do have or get Hummingbird feeders please don't use Red Dye. Another way to see Hummingbirds and help them to live,is to plant flowers. Hummingbirds really like red flowers and Bee Balm. So if you plant some flowers and you live in a area with the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds,I'm sure in a day or two you'll see many Hummingbirds through out the day. If you want to make your own Sugar Water to put in a  Hummingbird feeder, all you need to do is put 4 parts water,and 1 part sugar into a bowl and mix it up. Please note that using honey is a bad idea. It creates a bacteria when mixed with water that is bad for Hummingbirds. Also, please use clean,purified water in the Sugar Water. Make sure to clean feeders every 2 days.When cleaning the feeder, DON'T USE SOAP! Hummingbirds are very delicate and even the smallest soap residue is harmful to them.Please be considerate to the Gorgeous Hummingbirds and DON'T use things that pose a threat to them.
