Heat waves are tough on tiny hummingbirds. They need extra help to survive. Let's learn how to help them!

Hummingbirds burn lots of energy. In hot weather, they need sugar water more often. Change feeder nectar daily, or even twice a day if it's super hot.

Direct sun heats up nectar fast. Place feeders in shady areas or under eaves to keep the sugar water cool.

Hummingbirds need water for bathing and drinking. Offer a shallow birdbath or misting bottle.

Plant native flowers that bloom in summer. Hummingbirds love them! Red tubular flowers are their favorites.

Provide leafy branches for hummingbirds to rest in the shade. Thick bushes offer shelter from predators too.

Avoid red food coloring in nectar. It's unnecessary and might harm hummingbirds. Clean feeders regularly to prevent bacteria.

By following these tips, you can help hummingbirds beat the heat and thrive. Share this with your friends!
