Miss your hummingbirds?

When springtime comes to Texas, hummers invade the state and their arrival can be a time of wonder for those interested in the birds. Hummers frequently travel more than 1,000 miles from Central America and Mexico to get here.

Many people install hummingbird feeders to attract the birds. Hummingbirds will thank you for doing so: their rapid metabolism requires them to eat constantly. Most hummers consume about one-half of their body weight in sugar each day.

While you wait for spring to come and the hummingbirds to arrive take a peak at the hummingbirds feeding in Brazil on the Dr JB Hummingbird feeder.
