Hummingbirds need to bathe to help them maintain their feathers in good condition, which is crucial for their flight performance and insulation.

𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲:
Hummingbirds bathe, sometimes multiple times daily, especially during hot weather.

They tend to bathe more often when they are molting, as it helps to remove old feathers and facilitate the growth of new ones.

𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Hummingbirds usually take quick dips in the water, lasting only a few seconds. They may also repeatedly dip their head and neck into the water to splash water over their bodies.

𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Hummingbirds prefer to bathe in shallow water sources like streams, puddles, and birdbaths.

𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 provides an excellent place for hummingbirds to hydrate and clean their feathers. The Bubbler's shallow water and the ripple of the water will keep them safe.

Hummingbirds do not nest in birdhouses. They don't lay eggs in birdhouses or caverns.
Hummingbirds usually build on an intersection of branches. They look for safety, stability, convenience, and a nearby source of nest-building fibers, food, and water for raising their chicks.

Did you know that Momma Hummingbirds do all the work from nest building to raising their chicks? Putting up hummingbird houses can be an excellent way to get hummingbirds to come to your yard and help Momma hummingbirds.
