In fact this is a $50 camera. I have some tips for photographing hummingbirds which I'll be posting on the blog soon so stay tuned! :0)<br /><br /><br /><br />Zoe, Thanks for sharing your tips and recommended hummingbird plants. <br /><br />It's true if your hummingbirds are not draining your feeders within a few days, boiling your nectar will help retard the growth of bacteria. In my case I'm filling feeders 2x per day so there's no time for bacteria to grow! <br /><br />Another important note (included in one of my earlier hummer posts) Be sure to wash your feeders thouroughly when changing the nectar or at least 1 x per week. Use hot soapy water with 1 tsp bleach per sinkful. Be sure to dry thouroughly before refilling.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636119325909175378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412069723326244654.post-63102923772386052752010-05-05T11:16:28.011-07:002010-05-05T11:16:28.011-07:00There are many things that you can plant to attrac...There are many things that you can plant to attract hummingbirds to your yard. This includes things such as the petunia, annual red salvia, autumn sage and shrimp plants, or the firebush.<br /><br />Now here is a few tips concerning hummingbird feeders. Hope they will serve as a helpful reminder to people.<br /><br />If you choose to make your own homemade nectar solution, you need to bring this solution to a boil for 1 1/2 minutes and then let it cool down. You now have a mixture much more similar to that of the flower nectar. <br /><br />Nectar solutions should be changed every three to five days, because hot weather can cause rapid bacterial growth. <br /><br />It is not necessary to add food coloring, especially if the feeder has a red blossom at the feeding point.<br /> <br />Red food coloring is unhealthy for hummingbirds. <br /><br />Honey should not be used to feed hummingbirds because it attracts bees and favors the growth of a black fungus that causes a fatal liver and tongue disease in hummingbirds.<br /><br />If you wish to discover much more valuable information, please click on the lick below.
