To keep these winged wizards healthy,hummingbird feedersmust be cleaned regularly.
“Keeping your feeder clean keeps the birds healthy.
Mold and bacteria can make a bird sick.
When its hot, clean your feeder every day.
In cooler weather, you might change the solution twice a week, says Zambello.
Or if your birds empty it more quickly, clean it before every refill.
If you hang feeders in the shade, it will also help prevent the solution from spoiling as quickly.
