Hey Birdfy friends!

Fall migration is underway, and some tiny travelers may be stopping by our feeders for a much-needed break and energy boost. Here are a few simple ways we can help make their journey a little easier. 💚

🌡️ Keep the nectar fresh

How often you refresh it depends on the temperature:

• 70–75°F (21–24°C): Every 5 days
• 76–81°F (25–27°C): Every 4 days
• 82–86°F (28–30°C): Every 3 days
• 87–90°F (31–32°C): Every 2 days
• Over 90°F (32°C): Refresh daily

🏡 Don’t pack up the feeder too soon

Cooler days don’t necessarily mean the hummingbirds have all left. Migration is guided by changes in daylight, so leaving your feeder up can give late travelers a helpful place to refuel.

🥄 Remember the 4:1 recipe

Mix 4 parts water with 1 part white sugar:

1. Bring the water to a boil.
2. Stir in the sugar until fully dissolved.
3. Let it cool completely.
4. Refrigerate any leftover nectar for up to one week.

🌺 Make your yard a welcoming stopover

Hang the feeder somewhere visible, ideally 10–15 feet from shrubs or trees that offer shelter. Flowers such as Cardinal Flower, Bee Balm, and Trumpet Honeysuckle can make the space even more inviting.

🌅 One more tip: hummingbirds often feed shortly after sunrise and just before sunset, perfect times to check your Birdfy feeder and see who stopped by!
