HUMMINGBIRD GARDENING

Hummingbirds with their unique colors and the ability to hover in the air make them one of the most fascinating birds in the garden.  Hummingbirds do feed upon small insects but their primary food source is flower nectar.  The most desirable are from flowers with bright colors such as bright red, pink and orange with tubular shapes.
