Why do Hummingbirds use the swing?

Hummingbirds spend about 80% of their time resting and conserving energy. By placing a hummingbird swing near the feeder, you can create the ideal perching spot for your hummingbirds to rest where you get to see them more too.

Why are Hummingbirds so Territorial ?

Hummingbirds are so territorial because they are constantly hours away from starving to death. Hummingbirds always choose a perching spot with a direct line of sight to their food source. Only they find a reliable food source, they will perch close to keep watch while conserving energy.

Q: Do hummingbirds really swing?

Yes, Hummingbirds will really use our Pop's swings. Just place the swing next to a feeder or nectar rich-flowering plant to create the ideal perching spot for hummingbirds to rest and keep watch over their food source.

Do Hummingbirds Really Swing On It?

Territorial Creatures

Just place swing within a foot of a food source and hummingbirds will use the swing as a territorial perching spot to keep close watch over their guarded food supply!

Spend 80% Time Perching

Pro tip: Try moving the feeder a foot away and place the swing in its previous location. This will help hummingbirds discover the swing with their excellent recall memory!

Build a Sanctuary

Hang your swing in a well protected area. Provide an area to retreat to, such as tall flowering hedges, which will also provide a natural source of nectar and nutrients.

They will Come

Clean feeders regularly and provide fresh nectar every 3-5 days or as cloudiness occurs. Try Pop's Nectars for added calcium, electrolytes with no dyes or preservatives.
