It’s a HummZinger!

"Bird on a lamp"

For us, hummingbirds were sort of a suburban myth: we were told they were in the area, but never saw one. As we wanted proof of their existence, a bit of investigation into hummingbird feeders was conducted. After a thorough search, general consensus named HummZinger feeders as the best on the market.

Four hummingbirds drawn to a hanging bird feeder flowing with water.

They’re sturdy, easy to clean and very well designed for the purpose. I chose the HummZinger Ultra, which I found at my local Wild Bird Store for about 21 bucks. I also decided to go with store-bought nectar, rather than make my own. It took about two months for the hummingbirds to find it–or maybe for me to notice them–but this morning there were two sipping at the feeder.
