It’s a HummZinger!

By DIY Maven

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.

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. For more information about hummingbirds and feeders, visit hummingbirds.net.

For fellow bird fans who haven't seen our close encounter with Great Horned Owls, go here and here!

Funny story: I misread the title of this entry as "Human zinger" and had to come and see what exactly that was; I thought it literally was a human zinger, like it zapped humans or something... lol! Good job on the humingbirds!

My folks plant the flowers hummingbirds love, and also have feeders. That combo seems to work well. I will have to look for the hummzinger at the end of season sales though-they can always use more feeders!
