1: Hummingbirds prefer feeders placed high up to mimic their natural feeding habits.
2: Mounting feeders at eye level can attract more hummingbirds to your yard.
3: Avoid placing feeders too low to the ground, as this can make hummingbirds vulnerable to predators.
4: Optimal feeder height is around 5-10 feet off the ground for safety and visibility.
5: High feeders also help prevent ants and other pests from reaching the nectar.
6: Consider hanging feeders from hooks or branches to keep them out of reach of predators.
7: Alternatively, install feeder poles at varying heights to cater to different hummingbird species.
8: Experiment with feeder placement to find the ideal balance of height and accessibility.
9: Ultimately, the best feeder height is one that encourages frequent visits from hummingbirds.
