Plant Native Flowers: Choose native flowering plants like bee balm, trumpet vine, and salvia to provide natural nectar sources for hummingbirds during nesting season.
Provide Shelter: Offer sheltered areas with dense foliage, shrubs, and trees where hummingbirds can build their nests away from predators and harsh weather.
Install Nesting Materials: Hang cotton, wool, and other soft materials in your yard for hummingbirds to use as nesting materials. Avoid using dryer lint as it can contain harmful chemicals.
Maintain a Clean Environment: Keep your yard free of pesticides and herbicides that can harm hummingbirds and their offspring.
Offer Water Sources: Install birdbaths or shallow water features where hummingbirds can drink and bathe.
Be Patient and Observant: Allow hummingbirds to find and explore your yard at their own pace.
