Message from Ruth & Jim:

This is a very concerning time in our society. Our hearts go out to everyone now being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

At The Hummingbird Guide, our resolute first priority continues to be the health and safety of our customers and our distributor team. Our distributor is operating with a limited staff to protect their team and as a result shipments are going out but at a slower rate than normal. We appreciate your patience and support.

In Native American Culture, hummingbirds are seen as Healers and Messangers of Love,
Good Luck and Joy.
They also symbolize courage and resilience because of their long migration.

We hope your hummingbirds bring some comfort and distraction from these trying times.

No Flights Have Been Cancelled!

The Hummingbirds are Getting Close!

We have received sightings up into Pennsylvania this week.

Most Hummers will be arriving to their Summer homes by the end of April.

They will be concluding their journey in the first two weeks of May with their arrivals in the northern sphere of North America!

Please submit your sightings to our "Interactive Migration Map"!

Your sighting will help everyone following the migration.

Some Helpful "Hummingbird Gear"
You Might Consider.

Check your feeders for damage or leaks and maybe replace them. Make sure they are clean and you have all the accessories you need such as an ant moat to keep those pesky ants off your feeders or a "Hummer Helper Helmet" to shade your feeders in the hot sun.

Note: If you have decided to hang feeders, feeding hummingbirds is a commitment and there are 2 VERY IMPORTANT RULES you must follow:

Changing Nectar: You must be vigilant about changing the nectar regularly (every 3 to 5 days) to keep it from spoiling.
See our filling instructions here.

Cleaning Feeders: You must keep your feeders clean from bacteria which can be harmful to hummingbirds.
