The Perky Pet 209 Humming Bird Feeder reservoir holds up to 30 ounces of nectar.
The Perky Pet 209 Humming Bird Feeder features a unique, removable circular perch, so you can choose whether to let hummingbirds settle or feed on the go. Nectar is stored in the clear glass reservoir, which is more durable than plastic reservoirs while still letting you monitor nectar levels. The reservoir also unscrews easily from the feeder base for quick cleaning and filling. For best results, clean the hummingbird feeder with a mild soap and water solution at least twice a week to prevent mold or residue from building up.
Attracting Hummingbirds is a must if you intend to feed them.

The feeder is easy to mount thanks to the included hanger, which suspends from nearly any branch or hook. To attract more hummingbirds, users should locate the feeder away from sun and wind. Sun may cause the nectar mixture to turn bad, while wind may swing the feeder around, causing the mixture to spill. Tying a red ribbon on the feeder wire or pole may also help hummingbirds find the feeder, as will adding a water source, such as a birdbath or bird waterer.

Hummingbird Season Information

Start adding nectar to your feeder in early spring. Hummingbirds typically begin their journey north around March or April, as the warm weather begins. They remain in the region throughout the summer months, and begin to migrate back south once the flowers cease blooming and insects are scarce. By late September, almost all hummers have moved on to warmer climates for the winter. Online migration maps are a great way to track when the hummingbirds will be arriving in your area.

If your hobby is bird watching or even if you just enjoy seeing birds in your back yard, a good bird feeder filled with seed will attract them like a strong magnet. You’ll see tufted titmice, chickadees, woodpeckers, cardinals, and of course sparrows anytime during the year. A good tube feeder, hopper feeder or platform feeder works well with any of these birds. There are so many different designs of feeders to choose from.

If you have problems with squirrels emptying your feeders, I suggest a squirrel proof feeder or a baffle to ward them off or set up their own feeder. They are very entertaining also.

Hang your feeder from a tree, an iron hook, or mount it on a pole. make sure you clean your feeders regularly and avoid using pesticides around them. Also adding a birdbath to your yard is great entertainment, watching them bathe and drink.

Different seed attracts an assortment of species and here at Willis Feeders Supply we carry a large variety of seed, from shell free, nut and berry, and special blends for many different birds. Another way to keep birds in your backyard (or frontyard) is to put up a birdhouse. If you have cats it is a good idea to put a breakaway collar with a bell on them. This gives the birds a heads up when they are around.

It is also a good idea to put up a Purple martin House and attract these birds; they really keep the insects down (especially mosquitoes). Scouts start looking for housing around the first of February so have one ready for them. Make sure your house is on a pole at least 15′ tall, (there are telescoping poles available for them), and put it away from trees and the house. In the long run it will be well worth the rewards you get from attracting beautiful birds that keep the insects down.
