A bright flash of red, green, and white, who doesn’t love a hummingbird? For many Nevada residents, hummingbirds are just now searching yards and flowers for precious food sources. With such high metabolisms, constant nectar access is critical to their survival. Offer blooming plants like Larkspur or Monarda in vibrant colours to attract them to your yard. In addition to plants, the best way to encourage a hummingbird to stick around is a hummingbird feeder. Nectar is the ultimate year-round food easy and filling for these little feathered friends. The more colorful the feeder, the better your chances of seeing a hummingbird in action. These feeders come in many shapes, sizes, and materials ranging from stunning blown glass to sturdy bright red plastic feeders. The perfect addition to your favorite bird feeding spot! For especially social hummingbirds, use nectar filled rings to hold these birds up close and personal. While they may look cute, many hummingbirds can be territorial; consider putting up multiple feeders out of sight of each other to avoid any battles for nectar. Best of all: if you’ve got the feeder, we’ve got the nectar! Moana Nursery will hand out complimentary nectar all summer long to give you the best chance at seeing these delightful birds. Stop by and take advantage of 50% off all hummingbird feeders during May at Moana Nursery!

The 4 Elements of Creating a Backyard Habitat

Food for Wildlife

The ideal wildlife habitat supplies food naturally through the plants that are living there. Diverse plantings can provide resources for many varieties of birds and other wildlife throughout the seasons. Trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials, and the acorns, nuts, berries, seeds, buds, fruit, nectar, and pollen they produce will sustain a variety of different species.

Water

Birds and wildlife need water. A reliable source of water is essential to birds for both drinking and bathing, as keeping their plumage clean and preened is important for their health and gives them an advantage in evading predators. Water can be supplied in a birdbath, a small pool, a recirculating waterfall, a shallow dish, or with a dripper or mister. Supplying freshwater is one of the most certain ways of attracting birds and wildlife to your landscape.

Cover + Shelter

Birds need protective cover just as people need the shelter of a house. Cover can be provided in many forms, and the same plants that offer food can also provide cover. A variety of layers, from treetops, to dense shrubs, evergreens, and brush piles, combined with more open spaces containing grasses and perennials, allows both shelter and potential vantage sites to spot predators. Hollow logs, rock piles, and stonewalls can provide habitat for additional wildlife, and increase the diversity you see in your yard.

Places to Raise Young

A more specific kind of cover where birds and animals can reproduce is needed to complete a backyard habitat. These areas provide space for courtship and for protecting young animals, whether they’re birds in a nest, tadpoles in a shallow pool, or specific plants upon which butterfly caterpillars depend. For cavity-nesting birds or those who will use a roost, providing a good quality nesting box with adequate insulation and ventilation can ensure that generations of birds will call your yard home and that your backyard is a refuge for all to enjoy.
