They are also frequent visitors to gardens, drawn to vibrant flowers and feeders filled with sweet nectar.
However, if you’ve set up a birdbath in your garden hoping to attract these tiny marvels, you may have noticed that they tend to steer clear.
Understanding why hummingbirds avoid birdbaths and implementing solutions can help create a welcoming environment for these delightful birds.
One reason hummingbirds might avoid your birdbath is its depth and size.
Hummingbirds are small and delicate, preferring shallow water sources where they can easily access and bathe without the risk of drowning.
If your birdbath is too deep or large, it can intimidate these tiny birds, making them reluctant to approach.
These typically have a depth of only a few inches, providing a safe and inviting space for them to bathe and cool off.
