Direct Sunlight: Avoid placing feeders in areas that receive full, direct sunlight for long periods, as the sugar water can spoil quickly and become too hot for the birds.
Close to Windows: Don't hang feeders near windows to minimize the risk of hummingbirds flying into the glass, which can cause injury or death.
Near Predator Zones: Keep feeders away from places where cats or other predators can hide, ensuring a safer feeding environment for the birds.
Windy Areas: Avoid locations that are overly windy, as strong gusts can make it difficult for hummingbirds to feed comfortably and securely.
Damp or Shaded Spots: Don't hang feeders in overly damp or shaded areas, as this can promote mold growth in the nectar and deter hummingbirds.
Near Other Feeders: If you have multiple feeders, don’t place them too close together; this can lead to territorial disputes among hummingbirds.
.
Infrequently Visited Areas: Avoid hanging feeders in locations that are rarely seen or accessed, as you won’t be able to monitor their condition or refill them regularly.
Areas with Heavy Foot Traffic: Refrain from placing feeders in high-traffic zones where human activity could scare off hummingbirds and disrupt their feeding.
