Humming g birds are cute little tiny birds and it is very difficult to spot them due to their size. However, humming birds sing very pleasantly and they can add lovely music to the garden. Have you ever thought why the humming birds visit some gardens and not yours? Well, they do not find what they want in your garden.

You can actually add certain plants and features to your garden which attract these cute little birds. A humming bird would come to your garden to build a nest. It likes to build a nest at a height of 5 feet to 15 feet. So, you need to plant trees or shrubs in your backyard or garden so that the bird can build its nest. Some of the trees that the humming birds like to build their nests on are tulip, poplar, horse chestnut, and the flowering crab.

The blossoms in these trees provide the sweet nectar that these birds want. Humming birds also like flowering shrubs because they find nectar in them to feed their young. Some of the flowers that they like are hibiscus, buddleia and currants. They also like to eat insects, aphids and mosquitoes. So, humming birds need all these factors in your garden to nest happily.

They are not the kind of birds that will tend to look for food far away from their home. They are tiny and can fly only in a limited place. Therefore, you would actually have to make your garden into an attractive nesting place for them by planting appropriate trees, shrubs and flowering plants. This way their food and nesting concerns will be taken care of and they will be able to make your garden their home.
