Keep Hummingbirds Away: Here's How

If you're tired of hummingbirds buzzing around your feeder or dive-bombing your face, you're not alone. These tiny, feathered creatures can be a nuisance, especially if you're trying to enjoy a peaceful afternoon in your backyard.

There are a few things you can do to keep hummingbirds away. One is to remove the feeders from your yard. This is the most effective way to deter hummingbirds, but it can also be the most disappointing. If you enjoy watching hummingbirds, you may not want to give up the pleasure of having them in your yard.

Another option is to make the feeders less attractive to hummingbirds. You can do this by adding a few drops of peppermint oil to the sugar water. Hummingbirds hate the smell of peppermint, so they'll be less likely to visit your feeders.

• You can place reflective objects near your feeders.
• Hummingbirds think their reflections are rival hummingbirds, so they'll be less likely to approach the feeders if they see reflections.
  
  • You can also try hanging CDs or wind chimes near your feeders.
  • The movement and the noise will scare the hummingbirds away.

  
  Finally, you can try to scare the hummingbirds away. You can do this by spraying them with a water gun or by making loud noises. However, this method is not recommended, as it can be harmful to the hummingbirds.
  

  
  If you're having trouble keeping hummingbirds away, don't give up. There are a few things you can try to make your yard less attractive to these tiny birds. With a little patience, you can enjoy your yard without having to worry about hummingbirds.
