This unique, meticulously crafted sanctuary is designed to help these beautiful, elusive aerial gems feel safe and secure, encouraging them to bring their magic to your doorstep.

A Helping Hand for Nature's Smallest Birds:

Hummingbirds are notoriously particular about their nesting sites. This specialized "nest helper" doesn't function like a traditional birdhouse they enter; instead, it provides the perfect, protected base upon which they can construct their incredible, lichen-covered nests.

Fascinating Facts About Hummingbirds – Nature's Iridescent Jewels:

Where do hummingbirds usually place their nests? 

Hummingbirds are masters of camouflage! They typically place their tiny, cup-shaped nests on slender, downward-sloping branches, often high up in deciduous trees. They meticulously weave plant down, spider silk, and bits of lichen or moss onto the nest's exterior to blend seamlessly with the branch. This nest helper mimics a stable, protected branch, offering an ideal foundation for their delicate architecture.

How many eggs do they lay?

An astonishingly small number – typically just two eggs, each no bigger than a jelly bean! Imagine spotting these miniature treasures in a nest supported by your feeder.

How long do they nest?

From egg-laying to the young taking their first flight, the process usually takes about 3-4 weeks. Incubation is around 16-18 days, followed by about 20-22 days until the nestlings fledge. It's a fleeting yet profoundly rewarding period of observation!

How can you attract hummingbirds to this birdhouse?

• Placement is Key: Mount the nest helper in a sheltered, somewhat elevated location (though not necessarily as high as they'd naturally build), perhaps near existing nectar sources (vibrant, tubular flowers) or hummingbird feeders you already have.
• Mimicry: The front extended platform with its 1" diameter impression provides the ideal starting point for their tiny, cup-shaped nests. The two metal posts offer anchor points for their delicate construction.
• Perching: The fabric leaves extending from the front offer convenient perching spots, encouraging them to investigate and feel comfortable.
• Protection: The pitched roof protects the nesting material behind a sturdy metal mesh screen, offering crucial shelter from rain and predators.

Do hummingbirds prefer specific colors for their nesting houses? While hummingbirds are famously attracted to bright colors (especially red, orange, and pink) for nectar sources, for nesting structures, their primary concern is safety, stability, and subtle camouflage. The ability to choose your poly color allows you to make the house blend with your natural surroundings, or even choose a vibrant color that might indirectly draw their attention to the area where the nest helper is located (if combined with nectar feeders).
