As hummingbirds head back from their winter migration, they seek backyards rich in food and water sources. But, unlike many other garden birds including American robins, you're unlikely to find hummingbirds using your bird bath. Instead, these tiny winged creatures are more accustomed to a gentle mist to cool off and clean their feathers.
If you're keen to attract hummingbirds this spring, it's vital to provide the right kind of water source. While their small legs make traditional bird baths too deep and the water too heavy, you can simply add a bird bath fountain pump (like this from Amazon) to provide a light and refreshing mist for them.
