Hummingbirds do not nest in Bird Houses!
QuackUps Hummingbird Nesting Home is designed to provide a perfect place to nest. It has nesting fiber essential for nest building. QuackUps Hummingbird Home™ easily clips on a branch. It has a Nesting Ring, the best place to nest. Hummingbirds usually build on an intersection of branches. They look for safety, stability, convenience, and a nearby source of nest-building fibers, food, and water for raising their chicks. They don't lay eggs in birdhouses or caverns. A finished hummingbird nest is only a bit larger than a walnut and almost weightless. They use fibers from flowers and spider webs to weave their nests to perfection.

★HELP SAVE HUMMINGBIRDS, BUILD A HUMMINGBIRD HABITAT - Hummingbirds play an important role as pollinators in our ecosystem. They move from flower to flower, pollinating as they go. If hummingbirds went extinct, the mites could go extinct, too, because they would have no way of getting from flower to flower. Then the flowers, because they depend on the hummingbirds and mites to spread pollen, also go extinct.
How to Use the Hummingbird Home™?
1. Locate Hummingbird Home™ so they are relatively horizontal. Remember that the hummingbird needs an opening to fly to the nest yet is somewhat protected.
2. Clip the Hummingbird Home™ to a firm branch in a bush or tree, ideally above 4'. Space them about 10' as they can be territorial.
3. Watch for a hummingbird to go back and forth to the Hummingbird Home™. That's the signal that a nest is being built or used. Try to resist the temptation to visit the nest. The more activity around the nest, the greater the chance it will be abandoned.
Hummingbirds may lay eggs up to 3 times per year in some areas. Predators can attack hummingbird nests. Be thoughtful when picking the location for the Hummingbird Home™. Barely visible is best as they have excellent vision.
